Page "Trip hop" Paragraph 3

Bristol's Wild Bunch crew was one of the soundsystems to put a local spin on the international phenomenon, helping to birth Bristol's signature sound of trip hop.

The Wild Bunch and its associates included at various times in its existence the MC Adrian " Tricky Kid " Thaws, the graffiti artist and lyricist Robert " 3D " Del Naja, and the DJs Nellee Hooper, Andrew " Mushroom " Vowles and Grant " Daddy G " Marshall.

As the hip hop scene matured in Bristol and musical trends evolved further toward acid jazz and house in the late ' 80s, the golden era of the soundsystem was ending.

The Wild Bunch signed a record deal and evolved into Massive Attack, a core collective of 3D, Mushroom and Daddy G, with significant contributions from Tricky Kid ( soon shortened to Tricky ) and Hooper on production duties, along with a rotating cast of other vocalists.
