This Sizzla refix from the end of last year is still cutting a swathe through numerous bassline house mixes in 2008:

MP3: DJ Cheeksta & Sizzla - Baby (T2 Remix)

Leicester based grime/bassline producer DJ Cheeksta works some bass-heavy magic with that keening Sizzla falsetto. The snippet of acapella is taken from this track on Sizzla's excellent Rise To The Occasion album:

MP3: Sizzla - Give Me A Try

Rise To The Occasion saw Sizzla Kalonji team up with Donovan Bennett aka Don Corleon - Jamaica's most prolific vocalist meeting its one of its most prolific producers - to put together his most forward-thinking album of recent years.

From sinuous bashment to melancholic R'n'B, Rise To The Occasion's super-synthetic production style and catchy melodies made it ripe for the bassline reinterpretation and Sizzla might now be the genre's most unlikely rent-a-diva. Jodie Aysha watch out! Get the rest of the album at the revamped Greensleeves Records online shop.
