Another dancehall artist getting involved with the sound of UK funky. First Aidonia recorded on Inflation by Crazy Cousinz and now Sean Paul has dropped a freestyle live on Kiss FM:

It's a shame he actually freestyled really, as it's not that good...are freestyles ever that good? It would've been amazing if he'd just reworked some old (or new) lyrics over it. It's a little weird how he's casually flicking through magazines while on the mic as well!

In other dancehall vs funky news, the Ill Blu remix of Shystie's bashy vocal Pull It is now for sale at ukfunky.com, taking the number one spot on their chart just a week after its release.

And DJ One Drop from German dancehall sound Rise & Shine has got a mix out that's inspired by the UK/JA crossover I've been writing about for the last couple of months.

It's called Kingston Flavour and features the Shystie track and my Party Hard refix alongside tunes from Busy Signal, Doctor, Lady Chann, Maxwell D.

Did you ever hear that Super Cat interview where he was freestyling all his replies?

Anyway, even good freestyles tend to be best live when you can't rewind.
