Lethal Bizzle

Lethal Bizzle has revealed that he was recently snubbed by Blur bassist Alex James.

The rapper sampled Blur on the original version of his new song 'Rockstar' which James initially approved, only to change his mind weeks later.

"I met Alex when he was judging the Orange Unsigned Act competition," he told The Sun. "I played him my song Rockstar and he absolutely loved it.

"I am a huge Blur fan and used a sample of 'Song 2'. Alex said it was genius and asked me to play it again. I told him I wanted to release it and Alex said he would be able to clear it, no problem."

Bizzle added: "A few weeks went by and I heard nothing. Then I got a letter from the record label saying the band wouldn't approve it. I was gutted. Alex, I'm out to get you man. You wait."
