10cc...

I still believe they were one of the best groups to emerge in the 1970's.

And now they have been discovered by a whole army of kids. Thanks to rappers like Lloyd Banks of 50Cent's G-Unit and Atlanta's Terror Squad, they have become the No1 band to be sampled by rappers and hip hoppers in America.

The most sampled track is one of my all time favourites; The Dean And I. Both Terror Squad (Hum Drum Days) and Lloyd (When The Chips Are Down) have huge tracks using brief samples from The Dean And I.

We're re-releasing it as a single in a few weeks time but here, specially for you, is a reminder.
