Bio
Congo Natty aka Rebel MC (born 27 August 1964 in Islington, London) has a career dating back to his early hit with Double Trouble, "Street Tuff," but is probably most respected as one of the pioneers of Jungle - perhaps the first uniquely UK-born bass music. Michael West converted to Rastafarianism in the mid-90s and changed his name to Mikail Tafari in 2000.
Father of Yoz Beats and Toni-Kaya.
