Against All Oddz

Lethal Bizzle is signed to V2 Records, on which he released the album Against All Oddz in August 2005 which sold 45,000 plus. The first single from it, entitled "Uh Oh! (I'm Back)", was released in the same month and peaked at number 47 in the UK Singles Charts. He has won awards for his work including a MOBO for best single.

He is known for MCing in Grime music, and is also associated with the grindie scene.

He released a song with Twista, Gappy Ranks and the Kray Twinz called "What We Do", which reached 23.

He is known for his rap rivalry with Roll Deep Crew founder Wiley. However, in the final track, "Til Next Time", on his album, Against All Oddz, Lethal Bizzle calls for an end to this rivalry. In Wiley's album, Da 2nd Phaze, Wiley has added More Fire Crew's hit "Oi!" as a bonus track, as a sign showing that their feud is finished.
