Paul Levy a.k.a. General Levy, véritable vétéran de la scène urbaine anglaise, a grandit sous l'influence de la musique reggae et de la culture noire. Grâce à son frère ainé, grand amateur de musique, Paul s'est forgé une culture musicale solide allant du ska au rock steady, du calypso à la soul, ou encore du hip-hop au reggae. Dès son plus jeune âge il s'intéresse au sound system et va très rapidement former le sien : "Third Dimension".
Levy poursuit son aventure musicale au sein de bons nombres de sound systems anglais comme Vigilante, Java Nuclear Power... Mais c'est Tippertone Sound qui lancera véritablement le General dans le circuit des MC anglais. Dès lors, il commence à construire sa réputation et se rapproche des studios.
Lloydy Crucial et Robbo Ranx sont les premiers producteurs à lui offrir des projets en studio. Ils sortent ensembles les sons underground ‘Tell Me Why' et ‘You Can't Hurry Love', sur lesquels interviendra le chanteur Junior Dan.

Paul Levy a.k.a. General Levy, real veteran of the UK urban music scene, grew up influenced by reggae music and black culture. Thanks to his older brother, huge music fan, Paul was enabled to build up a consistent musical culture: from ska to rock steady, calypso to soul music, hip-hop to reggae. Quickly, he went on writing his own lyrics and created his first sound system, "Third Dimension", along with friends.
Levy continued his music adventure touring with many famous UK sound systems such as Vigilante, Java Nuclear Power… But it was Tippertone Sound that really launched the General to the UK MC circuit. Since then, Levy started to build up his reputation and was approaching the studio recordings. Lloydy Crucial and Robbo Ranx were the first producers to offer him studio projects.
Together they released the underground tracks such as "Tell Me Why" and "You Can't Hurry Love", on which he was assisted by Junior Dan, a longtime singer. He, then, signed with Gussie P at fashion Records, one of the most important reggae labels. They unleashed a string of underground dancehall fillers such as ‘Original Length and Strength', ‘Heat', ‘Breeze', ‘The Wig' and ‘Champagne Body'.
