This is what blogs are for, aren’t they? Bigging up records that you like? I find it hard to believe that Radio One haven’t playlisted Crush, the current single by young UK rapper Fugative. Quite simply, the British public won’t hear a catchier single all year. One play and the chorus will be bouncing round your head from now til Christmas. If you listen to it too much (and I’ve had to ration myself to just one Youtube viewing a day) you feel like you’re overdosing on Refreshers.

I had never heard of Fugative until the other week when he turned up on Radio One’s Review show and tried to play it cool, claiming that he didn’t like most of the records and only listened to hip hop. The sign of a guilty conscience, methinks. Well, he shouldn’t feel guilty. If there’s any justice, and crucially, if Radio One do the decent thing, Crush will be huge this summer.

My favourite bit? ‘Workitoutworkitoutworkitout gurl!’

Blimey, does this now mean I’m a blogger?  And I’m part of (yeuch! Ugly phrase) the blogosphere? Oh dear.
