So
called because of his fiery temper, 19 year-old Fumin is best known for
his appearance on Lethal Bs track 'Forward Riddim' (Pow), which entered the
national charts at no. 11 in Dec 2004.His mixtape Freckle Face Vol. 1 has been getting the mischievous spitter some serious underground respect and exposure in all the right places. Fumin is blazing his own trail with his infectious choruses which get instant rewinds at raves and on pirate radio. Samurai, Elliot Ness, Frisky (pirates), DJ Shocks (1Xtra) and Ras Kwame (Radio 1/1Xtra) are all fans, and he has performed on Tim Westwoods show on Radio 1.
