SKEPTA - ROLEX SWEEP
Whatever Wiley can do, Skepta feels he can equal, he's even got the man to him to help him out with the vocals. Anyways, good video which should be welcomed with open arms by the mainstream. Check out cameo's from Jay Sean, 1xtra's Mistajam and of course JME and unofficial Boy Better Know member Jammer.
Rolex Sweep is released digitally on 15 September 2008 and physically on 22 September 2008. Bit of a strange time for this release as you would assume that the rolex hype would have died down by then. However, you can't underestimate the power of holiday season.
In other Sweep related news, Coldplay's Chris Martin has jumped on the bandwagon with thier own version. To have a listen, visit www.myspace.com/skepta

"Reggae star passes away after second stroke.
UK Garage and Reggae star, Tubby T has died.
After suffering a stroke in 2004 Tubby, real name Anthony Robinson, suffered a relapse and a second stroke.
His manager has told how he was hospitalised for seven months, but never fully recovered.
Tubby first came onto the scene in early 2000, when he teamed up Sticky to record “Tales of Da Hood”. Soon after he signed a deal with Virgin Records.
In 2005 Tubby T was awarded a UMA for most inspirational artist.
At this sad time, the thoughts of MTV go out to his Family."
