    Forward instrumental killer breakbeat track that I used to drop in the early 90's
    Still sounding sick !

      Bought this 12 from Blade himself, at the junction of Carnaby Street & Beak Street. He'd been turned away from Red Records on Beak Street, where he was attempting to get them to stock it.

        Can't Forget the A Side!! one of THE UK hip hop anthems. first hearing it on Max N Dave and my mind being blown. Another essential from Blade

          Forget the A side the B side is the killer cut on this 12"!! Fast and furious lyrics from Blade coupled with wicked scratching from Dj Renegade make this one of the finest UK hip hop tracks ever produced. They dont make em like this anymore!!
