His career, spanning over three decades, was marked by a distinctive style that blended elements of jazz, hip hop, and soul with drum and bass.
Thompson was influenced by his early exposure to music from his father's record collection of ska, rocksteady, bluebeat, and reggae.
[3] Thompson started in the UK hip hop scene but shifted towards rave and drum and bass as the genres began to gain momentum in the early 90s.
[6] In honour of Thompson's legacy and commitment to nurturing young talent, the MC Conrad Foundation was established in June 2024.
The foundation aims to support young and emerging artists within the challenging landscape of the music industry.
