Yeah, Rough Trade was playing his album when I was in on Sunday.

Reckon they'll be plugging it as album of the week or something Wish there was more notice on this - my girl would've headed down to check it out.

In-stores are a little wierd, though.

It was weird as fuck, just me standing listening while punters go about their buissness...very strange...

Right I need help on tracks played there though, played an hour or so and these really stood out, for me anyways, (descriptions arent great, best I could do textign into my phone)...

1.Had a soulful feel to it, with a womans vocals saying, "Pleasure, give me pleasure"

2.Heavy wobbler, with a sample that said, "Go and get your bassface on"

3.A grimey type of tune with an MC spitting bars over the top saying, "Run come get it"


any help...MUCH appreciated.

second one is called Bassface

Cheers UFO...

Is bassface a benga track as well? Off the album?

The third one sounded like a male MC, spitting full bars with the chorus being run come get it...
