Calls to honour Stevie Hyper D with a blue plaque are surmounting, just over a year after the release of a documentary focused around the late jungle MC.

According to an article published by the London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham, both Stevie’s nephew, Darrell Austin, and documentary director Jamie Ross-Hulme are calling for a plaque to be installed at his former home in Fulham, London.

Darrell Austin explained that his uncle lived just a few streets from where he grew up, recalling: “Most days after school in the mid-’80s I’d be at his house – my gran’s house – and he’d be there practising.”

"[Back] then it was more dancehall and reggae-driven stuff, but by the late ‘80s, he’d found rave music,” he said. “Jungle gave him the scope to be more lyrical because it derived from reggae and hip-hop."

The late MC became the subject of a documentary titled HYPER: The Stevie Hyper D Story, which was released in cinemas across the UK in November 2024 and followed Darrell as he explored his uncle’s legacy in London’s drum ‘n’ bass scene in the ‘90s.

The documentary’s director, Jamie Ross-Hulme, is also now attempting to get a plaque installed in Fulham, explaining: “His influence was global and far-reaching.”

"The initial inspiration for me, in making the film, was to prove that this guy was as influential as Wiley and Dizzee. But as we were going through the making of the film, it became like a biopic,” he said.
