Skepta - Rolex Sweep (Data Records/Ministry Of Sound)
UK release date: 15 September 2008
For those of you who've never heard of Skepta, he's a member of North London label Boy Better Know and is the older brother of JME. It probably won't surprise you to learn that they are stable mates of Wiley which explains the continuation of the expensive watch theme initiated by Wiley's infectious Wearing My Rolex.
Other than that, it's difficult to write anything about Rolex Sweep given that it's basically a remix of Wiley's track but with fewer lyrics. Of course the real 'beauty' of Rolex Sweep is that it has its own dance that is a sort of urban Macarena. Just YouTube it and you can see Paul O'Grady having a go, Mr Rolex will not be grateful for the brand association I imagine.
There are various versions of the Rolex Sweep for you to listen to; the radio edit, the club mix, the Whelan and Di Scala remix, Jason Herd's version and a Virgo remix. All of which are quite nice, but there's video footage of Paul O'Grady trying the associated dance. At least Soulja Boy's stupid dance has a video of Spongebob crankin' it.
