R.i.P is mainly 2 members, "Tactix on Plastix" and "Sammy D Fox", with tactix being the producer for solo projects for each and collab material.
Tactix (Sean Mulholland) grew up on the ouskirts of dundee know as "the carse". Tactix first came to the music/performance industry in 1996 at what was then called "the colliseum", on brown street in dundee, where at the age of thirteen he became the resident mc every friday night for the under 18s hardcore nights, taken on by the shy brothers. This then led on to his first paid Dj residency at the age of 15 for shy's other under18s nights in perths warehouse club, as well as traveling unders gigs playing alongside the likes of euphony, and mcing for the legendary Tom Wilson. Around about the same time, he was playing around with an old keyboard writting basic melody lines in an attempt at putting together his first track, and before his 15th birthday, he'd gone to the studio and done just that, laying down his first ever dance track.
From that point on, the hours went on the sheet and the money got saved and bought an emu xtreme lead dance sound module, then the pc, the jv1080etc etc. A long time after that was basicly spent getting good at what he does, with many many unreleased dance/electronica tracks below his belt. Eventualy in 2005, the R.i.P Hard Dance ep called "a differant state of mind" was completed, to which more news of this will follow! from then on, he started producing urban breaks and hiphop material for lyrics he started writting at the age of 17.
Again, a lot of this time was spent in small cyphers of people who were doin the same at the time and as time went by, material got better and started to take hiphop production more serious than his old dance roots. during a difficult period, the name R.i.P came about with the main referance of that being "Ripped in Pieces", but "Neva Rest in Peace" is the true meaning behind what seems like a gimic name.
time has now brought R.i.P to the completion of "the neva Rest in Peace" lp, which will be released early 2007 as a twin pack lp featuring several artists on the main disk, and bonus solo tracks from tactix, sammy d fox, exlusive fresh breaks/cuts, beatbox material and live material on the bonus disk..
The Ep version of this can be downloaded for free very shortly as well as cd versions, so check back for info on that very soon.
Sammy D Fox is the other member of R.i.P. she is 23yrs old and is the only female vocalist at present and Sam and Tactix are actually a couple together which make a fab team to produce the material that you all hear. She is also a professionaly trained dancer which is sometimes showed off on stage when performing (dependant on song). She has a unique and untrained voice so everything you hear is completely natural. Sam performs on songs with Tactix and also has her own material which will be released soon too.
Neva Rest in Peace!

Bringdaruckus.com are organising 1 on 1 and 2 on 2 street battles to determine who is the best in Scotland.
Hosted by Respek BA
How will this work? Here are the details...
Each will consist of:
3 - 60 second rounds each... if no winner:
1 - 60 second round each... if no winner:
3 punchlines each - winner WILL be announced (NO INTERNET VOTE!!!)
It will work using a point system (each round):
2 points for a win
1 point for a draw
0 points for a loss
All battles will be judged by 3 judges. Judges decision is final.
There will be two leagues, one West and one East. Winner from each will battle in a final to determine the Scottish winner.
To determine who battles who, all names will be placed in a hat and called out (which will be filmed and placed online).
The set up will be (depending on how many people take part... i'm using 4 starting battles as an example):
Round 1
Battle 1 = MC 1 v MC 2
Battle 2 = MC 3 v MC 4
Battle 3 = MC 5 v MC 6
Battle 4 = MC 7 v MC 8
Round 2
Battle 1 = Round 1 Battle 1 winner v Round 1 Battle 4 winner
Battle 2 = Round 1 Battle 2 winner v Round 1 Battle 3 winner
Final Round
Battle 1 = Round 2 Battle 1 winner v Round 2 Battle 2 winner
Scottish championship decider (which I hope to happen at a gig I put on)
West winner v East winner
A trophy will be given out to the Glasgow and Edinburgh winners with another trophy handed to the Scottish winner.
We are currently looking for sponsors to help with prize money etc.
If you want to put your name down to take part in the Scottish MC battle championships email your name and if you are from the west or east side to chris@bringdaruckus.com
Let the battle commence!
