Out Da Ville is an independent label from St Anns, Nottingham, which has been in existence for six years now. Before the crew was formally known as Out Da Ville it was just a group hanging out at Trevor Rose's Community Recording studio. The core was just three: MC Lee Ramsay, and producers Nick Dimes and Big Trev. Back in 1993 Lee Ramsay was just 13 when they started on the first 12" 'Dedicated', although it did not surface until around 1995 when a label 'Real Deal' was set up by the group to put the stuff out. Things then took off from there. Other people like ScorZayZee were also members of the Community Recording studio and built up their skills and styles through listening to beats, rhyming and freestyling under the guidance of Trev. The next release was also from Lee Ramsay called 'R.D. Style' (1996) (R.D. - a shortened version of the label name - Real Deal) and this time featured Tempa, Scorzayzee and Fidel Castro. In late 1997 the crew put out another 12" 'Out Of Da Ville' which again featured Lee Ramsay, Scorzayzee, Karizma, Instinct and Becky. It was after this 12, around early 1998 that this group turned in to Out Da Ville as we know them today. Although the label was initially called Real Deal records, with just the production team being called Out Da Ville, people were mistakenly calling the label Out Da Ville records, so Big Trev decided for the sake of simplicity to call the label Out Da Ville too. In 1988 another 12" followed, a white label with Tempa, Lee Ramsay and Scorzayzee. Following this succession of 12s came the EP which signaled a stepping up in their game and a distinct changing of their style. The record was 1999s 'An Da Ville Goes On' which featured six stunning tracks and the vocals of Lee Ramsay, Tempa, Scorzayzee, Karizma and C-Mone. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Out+da+Ville">Read more on Last.fm</a>.
