Probably my favourite of his for a while. With a large amount of songs potentially going to ACR who knows how high this can get next week. Hopefully MoStack's verse won't get cut down this time ~ Lazy from Steel Banglez & The Elements to sample 'Push The Feeling On' in songs released 2 days in a row though (Mist & Fredo's 'House Party' also samples it if you haven't heard it yet.

At least the sample isn’t just an exact copy and actually has some subtle changes to it rather than just literally rapping over the top of the original dance version which was what I was expecting initially

Good thing this is the version the public has rightfully latched onto.

If Rain would have been 1 place higher this week it would have been back-to-back-to-back AJ Tracey to start the top 10 with his verse on the Live Lounge track in the middle.
