As usual, there isn't a lot of information out there about Overlord X, but he seemed to do most of his seminal work before his debut album even dropped.
Ben CarterHOST
In 1987, he dropped his first ever song, "Let There Be Rock," which popped up on one of the Hard As Hell compilation albums.
Ben CarterHOST
The album was entitled Hard As Hell Raps Next Generation.

One exciting day, they gave me a call, and I couldn't believe it.
Ben CarterHOST
I had a meeting with them, and they told me they liked one track in particular from my demo tra- " and that ta- track was "Let There Be Rock." So Let There Be Rock is a 5 minute 40 epic, a sprawling Run DMC/Beastie Boys influenced track that sounds like it came straight out of 1985.

It's a great introduction into the world of British hip hop.
