London Posse was a British hip hop group.[1][2] According to The Daily Telegraph, they "finally gave British rap an identity of its own."[3] London Posse member Bionic led the charge for UK and worldwide artists to use their own accents and languages rather than copy Americans and was the architect behind their biggest hit "Money Mad" introducing 'road style' to UK hip hop and mixing it with ragga/dancehall.
