Some artists leave a legacy that stretches far beyond a great single or a number 1 album.

Artist Focus is a new series hosted by the extended Melodic Distraction family that deep dives into the life and times of the musicians that have defined the sound of modern music. From the stone cold classics to the unearthed gems and forgotten B-sides, our community tribute an hour of music by a single artist that has had a notable impact on their life.

This time, our man DJ2Kind details the decade-long partnership of two Scouse MCs who go by Jeopardy and Big O - better known to most round these parts as Beyond Average.

From teaching us Scouse Ebonics back in the day to their upcoming project ‘Money Motivated’, the pair have a solid body of work behind them and a bright future ahead.
