RIVERSIDE

Everyone’s going crazy over the Sidney Samson track that damaged so many resorts this Summer & I’ve been spinning on 1Xtra and Radio 1 since August. Well, the track is getting an official release in January 2010 on Data/Ministry of Sound, comes with some amazing remixes courtesy of Breakage & Lil Silva and nearly tears the place apart whenever I spin it in clubs.

For those people wondering where the ‘Riverside motherf*****’ sample the track is built around came from, it’s from one of my favourite films ever ‘Juice’ which was released in the early 90′s and starred a then unknown Tupac alongside Omar Epps & Khalil Kain. This is a classic film that belongs in everyone’s collection and the clip below shows where Sidney Samson got the sample from – caution, it contains swearing & violence…

So now you know. “Riverside MOTHERFUDGER!!”

THE 50th LAW COMPETITION

You’d have to have been living under a rock to have not known that everyone’s favourite Curtis recently released a new book called ‘The 50th Law’ .

Co-written by Robert Greene (author of the “48 Laws of Power”), rather than it being an autobiography or a fluffy book about 50; it’s a self help book taking 50′s experiences in life and in the board room and boiling it down to a single principle to help others achieve success in their lives. I’m currently a few chapters in and it’s really good. So much so, I got in touch with the publishers and decided to get a couple of copies and a couple of exclusive 50th Law T-Shirts to give away.

Congratulations to Xi’an Loves & 121Shaz for correctly answering the following questions:

1. Who has 50 Cent dedicated The 50th Law to?
a) Kanye West b)His grandmother c) Robert Greene

2. Complete the phrase from The 50th Law: Fear …
a) Nothing b) The Dark c) Spiders

3. 50 Cent’s first UK single was:
a) In Da Pub b) In Da House c) In Da Club

Winners: you will be emailed in about 5 minutes. Thanks to all who entered.

MR VEGAS – GALLIS (VIDEO)

The Tripple Bounce riddim is doing some big things at the moment – Mr Vegas has gone and shot a video for his cut on the riddim “Gallis” – shouts to Robbo Ranx for the headzup

For those not up on their patois, a ‘gallis’ is a ladies man. A gentleman who gets a large amount of attention from the laydays… Simi?

BREAKAGE – HARD

Been spinning this since February in it’s original incarnation – as an instrumental called ‘Together’. Then James Breakage added everyone’s favourite Grime pioneers Newham Generals and ‘Hard’ was born. It’s been on regular rotation since June on my show and now there’s a video:
