He was considered a key figure in the grime scene
Terror Danjah was considered a pioneer in the Grime scene and significantly shaped the British scene with his work. With its unique, dark style and innovative productions, the producer made a name for himself within the genre and worked with numerous Grime artists: inside like Wiley, Kelela, Iamddb and Four Tet.
He was born as the son of Jamaican parents in the London district of Forest Gate. In the 1990s, Rodney Price drew attention to himself in the music scene by performing as a DJ at so-called jungle raves. He later turned to music production. Danjah joined the Nasty Crew Grime collective, in which artists were also working inside like Kano and D Double E. Soon the Briton started with its own projects. When he published Hardrive, he heralded a new era. The mixtape later also gave its label the name.

After the announcement that Terror Dejah died, Kevin Martin Aka the Bug opened via X and paid his respect to the producer. “Peace in peace, terror Danjah”, stopped Martin.
And further: “A fantastic producer, a large-hearted person and, outside of Grime circles, underestimated. I will miss your laugh, your sick beats and the random phone calls. It was a pleasure to know you and hang out with you. A positive force that is painfully missing. “
