Before the group formed, both had been very involved in music from an early age. From the age of four, Smoke was playing drums in his family church. A few years after he drifted in to the ‘Children’s Mass Choir ‘were he was later joined by Remedy. By 9 years old The Remedy was learning how to play piano while Smoke was teaching drums at the age of 13 to 6 year old's and over.

By time Smoke had turned 16 he had recorded his debut single ‘Bow for the Wolves ‘with former Grime crew Wolfpack. But this success was short lived by Smoke as a year later he had found himself in prison for 2 years. While Smoke was in prison, this was around the same time Remedy started learning about the art of producing using Pc’s. Shortly after, Rem started writing rap material of his own and had worked in a team called Concrete which consisted of 4 other main members.

Soon after the release of Smoke, Smoke n Rem began spending time together in the studio working on different styles of music bringing the old school to the new school while still making urban Hip-Hop.
