Hello and welcome to Hip-Up Save My Life. This is attempt 5 at this fucking intro and

0:09.6

it's not even going to be that long because I've got nothing of any interest to say. It

0:12.6

turns out from attempts 1 to 4. One damn, I'm going to put out all the pre-course to these

0:16.8

intros and so people can see like the lost tapes or something like that. Anyway, the

0:21.3

fact of the matter is this isn't getting any better, this intro. But today's episode

0:27.3

is with Jordan Stevens, who you will most likely know from Rizzle Kicks, who is working

1:31.6

he does spit fire on this track makes the fact that he hardly ever does that on the album

1:35.4

all the more painful. So there you go. I also want to take this opportunity to thank

1:40.0

people that have sent emails to the Hotmail account. We've got loads and I am going to,

1:46.2

I think I wasn't originally going to like talk about them in this intro, but I think

1:50.1

what I'm going to have to do is do a little secret, it's not going to be secret. It's
