R.I.P MICHAEL JOSEPH JACKSON 1958-2009
I could write something about how I feel about Michael Jackson but Sway has nailed it:
Jackson, Jackson,
The legend Michael Jackson,
Forever remember where you was when it happened,
Everybody staring at phones reading their flashes
In hope it was just a rumour and sooner we’ll get the facts in.
I’ll always remember the spot where I was standing
Exact same spot where I felt like collapsing.
Our relationship with music he has always been the captain
Even after confirmation it sunk, it never sank in.
The same year I was born Michael brought you “Thriller”.
Funny the 1st ever album that I was brought was Thriller.
Out of this world his moonwalk done brought us all together.
An important figure can’t figure a human force that’s bigger.
It wasn’t right how the media handled Mike
Disgusting how they’re always discussing if he was black or white.
His mum was black, his dad was black so it aint rocket science to say he’s black alright.
But that didn’t matter to him, cause he was not racist.
Self proclaimed “Bad” thus he caught cases
There ain’t a smooth criminal without court cases.
Said he was touching, I said he was touching all nations,
Even before “Dangerous” he’s like a thousand times bigger than rest
Rewind his tape like a thousand times Elvis was a great and Lennon was a Legend and Michael J was like both over a thousand times.
They said that his sales declined but after about 750 million what’s left to yell about?
There ain’t a music act that doesn’t owe Jacko, jack
So he’s always gonna sell as long as they’re about
Watching his life was an honour and I don’t mean no kinda disrespect to Madonna
But Michael was on a different level, and he adopted all of us in his songs
While he was trying to heal the world like a doctor.
I hope the money goes to the kids, as I hold these two O2 tickets. For his 50 date tour less than 50 days away so from his death at 50 wish he had 50 days more but never got half, pasted on the 25th of June and we should remember this day as his.
I believe he never left and he would never leave, never been a legend that lived that can ever breathe, never been a martyr that fought that can forever bleed, never been a leader that walked, that can forever lead, God will give him to us same God will to take him from us. Now he’s in his rightful place cause he was so heavenly. All for one and one for all he made a song for all, so I put a copy of his “Off The Wall” on the wall.
My town misses him, your town misses him, everybody since motown misses him. Now when you think of him picture him standing on a stage with his hand up one glove glistening, whole world at a standstill listening anticipating his next move the King is him.
From age 5 and the days of J5 he’s never took a break, no rest to take 5, there’ll never be a next the rest just ain’t Mike.
Time to pay our respects and watch the angels take flight
Out into the sky and never ever land, cos his house was in the sky and never, never never land.
Under all the pressure he never ever ran, he’s the best forever damn, who dressed forever glam.
The biggest man on the planet, not just a brother to Janet, our thoughts go out to his family,
He gave his hearts to the fans and he paved the way for the future, still his flame is in you, ‘cos he inspired song writers, record labels, producers,
They saying Michael Jackson was the King of Pop.
But I’m saying he was the King full stop.
People saying Michael Jackson was the King of Pop,
but I’m saying he was the King full stop
Join me tonight from 7pm on Radio 1 & 1Xtra celebrating the music of the first icon we have lost in our generation. No allegations. No ‘is he black or is he white’ hyperbole. Just good music.

SWAY – MERCEDES BENZ (OFFICIAL ONLINE PROMO)
A couple of weeks ago I had the world premiere of Sway’s brand new track ‘Mercedes Benz’ on Radio 1 & 1Xtra when I was covering for Trevor Nelson. This week, the record is my Jam Hot record of the week and Sway has put together an online promo video for the record:
Shouts to Sway & the whole team. Zane Lowe put it so eloquently…it’s a “heatrock” no doubt. Sway will be my special guest on my 1Xtra show tomorrow night. Tweet me if you have any questions for him.

TINIE TEMPAH – BIKER BABE VIDEO 1
Tinie Tempah has almost completed his debut album ‘The Disc-Overy’ and the first promo single is a new all star version of the former Jam Hot ‘BIKER BABE’
To build the anticipation, he’s planning to release footage daily of each individual artist and the studio session that lead up to them laying the verse that you will eventually hear on the full song every day this week and I’ll blog it here for you.
First up, it’s the skywalker himself – Scorcher:
GIGGS TALKS
A couple of weeks ago after it got it’s world premiere on my show in May, Giggs ft The Streets’ “Slow Songs” was my Jam Hot record of the week and I got the chance to catch up with the man of the moment on the phone from Atlanta. I started off by asking him who he’d been working with while he was out there:
JLS FT ME – BEAT AGAIN (REMIX)
For the longest time, I’ve been harbouring a secret rap ambition, well….I think the video speaks for itself:
MPHO – BOX & LOCKS (VIDEO)
I did try and warn you before that MPHO was bound for very big things…
Now signed to Parlophone Records (same label as Lily Allen), the album “Pop Art” will be coming soon but before that, it’s the Switch (Santigold, M.I.A, Major Lazer) produced single that I’m loving A LOT right now “Box & Locks”
Big tune, big artist, big production (large up Switch – he’s the only producer I know who can make that Martha & The Muffins sample work!). Make sure you support & let me know your thoughts.
While we wait for the most excellent “Pop Art” album to hit, don’t forget you can download her “Art Of Pop” mixtape for free here
