Completely forgotten about the existence of that Bigga-Man track - a most peculiar grimestrumental if I recall right. It is not to be found on YouTube.

Most of the rest of the singles seem indelible, but I would probably shove "Sweet to the Belly" up to number one.

Cannot remember a thing about the Ward 21, Michael Mayer, and David Banner albums. Or really the Soundmurderer either.
