Miles is unable to post. I am posting on his behalf. This is not beef, just setting both sides of the story straight.
ok you've heard jess jackson's side of the story so heres mine 'cos he got QUITE A FEW things wrong:
me and kin were round at jesses house making tunes for a few weeks before i got the acapella for Hobson's Choice (Filo "Playa" for those that want to know). we made some rubbish 'cos neither me nor kin really knew what we were doing at the time. so one night we went round to make a tune with this new acapella i got, we did the beats and the sweeps/pads (from Skandal "What would you do?" by the way) and chopped the vocals up giving the distinctive 'hobson's choice' hook-line. me and kin went home at the end of the night and i went on holiday for 3 weeks the week after, intending to finish it when i came back. when i got back kin called me and told me that jess had finished the tune and pressed it up and that it was blowing on the scene.
i was fuming (as you would be) that jess never called me or said anything about it till i ran into him at a party that we were both playing at in kingston where he had the cheek to ASK me if he could play hobsons choice. now if he felt that i had no involvement in making the tune why would he ask me if he could play it eh?! jess also says he gave me a copy for my radio show, that is a LIE, i don't have a copy of the tune to this day!
he says that we were all playing on flex at the time and that is true but only 'cos me and kin got him on there. at the time me and kin played back2back and although i can't remember the exact time it certainly wasn't at 5am! we played a primetime set on weekdays and then we moved to saturday nights 10 till 12. i have to point out that jess DID get thrown off of flex although i won't recount the incident to save his embarassment. the thing is, if management hated me so much jess why am i still on radio ALL THESE YEARS LATER?
i am not after your money jess (although you must have made a tidy sum if you really sold 15,000 copies), i am not after your so-called 'fame' and 'status'.... all i want is an apology/explanation and to let people out there know you ain't the 'golden boy' like you make out.
