B-side: Tinchy's got a problem

He may have been dubbed the "Prince of Grime" at the start of his career, but since the success of 'Take Me Back' and 'Number One', Tinchy Stryder is very much a fixture on the pop landscape too. But as his new B-side proves, he hasn't left his roots behind entirely.

While the single itself, 'Never Leave You', is filled with Europoppy synths and infectious hooks, flipside 'It's A Problem' is a far grittier affair that harks back to his early sound. As grimey as your average student kitchen, it combines grinding industrial bass with punchy rhymes and some true rude boy attitude, capturing how the Stryderman established his reputation in the first place. It's not for commercial radio playlists of course, but it's sure to keep the Tinchy traditionalists happy.

The full version is available on the 'Never Leave You' CD single, out Monday, but here's a 60-second clip to tide you over:
