Da Click were a UK garage group which consisted of DJ/producer Pied Piper (Eugene Nwohia), emcees Creed (Christopher Reid), PSG (Paul Gabriel) and Unknown MC (Ronnie Nwohia), and singer Valerie M (Valerie Malcolm). They are best known for their UK chart hit single " Good Rhymes", which reached No. 14 on the UK Singles Chart in January 1999, and spent 6 weeks on the chart. Their second single, "We Are Da Click" was a top 40 hit, peaking at No. 38. [1]
"Good Rhymes" interpolates " Good Times" by Chic and " Never Too Much" by Luther Vandross. [2] "We Are Da Click" interpolates " Funkin' for Jamaica (N.Y.)" by Tom Browne. [3]
DJ Pied Piper and Unknown MC would go on to have a UK number one single in 2001 with " Do You Really Like It?", as part of the collaboration known as DJ Pied Piper and the Masters of Ceremonies.
In 2013, MC Creed appeared alongside many other garage pioneers in a documentary exploring the legacy of UK garage, Rewind 4Ever: The History of UK Garage. [4]
