Demon Boyz

Classic London (Tottenham based) hiphop group who gained massive respect for rapping with their true accents back when most were imitating US rappers. Members are Mike J (aka Million Dan, born in Jamaica), Demon D (Almshouse Demon) and DJ Devastate.

At the ages of 14-15 the Demon Boyz performed at the Rebel MC’s Beat Freak gigs. Their first slice of fame was on the Dave Pearce Radio London Rap show when they won a competition rapping down a phone, and the prize was to do a live session for the show. They won the overall competition and performed alongside Derek B, Faze One and T La Rock at Camden Place, where Derek B put them in contact with Music Of Life.

In June 1989, the UK magazine Hip Hop Connection reported that their debut album Demon Boyz – Recognition was to be released in the United States and South America via Luke Skyywalker Records but that failed to happen and it has remained a UK and European release only.

In 1994 Sonia Poulton announced the return of the Demon Boyz with new material and with a change in the line up also, Junior Gowdy was to replace Demon D who was living in the USA at that time. No further material was released however.
