They run in the same orbit as Baby Rasta y Gringo, Tego Calderón, Alexis y Fido, Trebol Clan and Omar Courtz, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Maverick Sabre, Paul Epworth, Professor Green, Example and Hadouken!, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
