Dirty Danger who's hard, hard, hard passed through the 1Xtra towers yesterday. He performed this weeks Jam Hot record 'Hard Body' live in the studio. We reloaded about 20 times, just to make him work 'hard'...excuse the pun!

Tinchy Stryder also passed through just to show his support.

Last night I went to the official wrap party for Giggs and Mike Skinner's new video "Slow Songs" (I had to represent for the Jam team). They hired out a 200 seat cinema in West London for all of us to watch the video.

Being apart of the Jam team I had to get the exclusive. So, I put on my Brummie charm, had a chat with Giggs, Mike Skinner and twisted Ted Mayhem's arm and got it! So, we're proud to bring you the World Exclusive video for "Slow Songs"!

Oh and check out Mike Skinner's vintage shades and jumper...I think I need to go shopping with him!.

We played Dizzee's set from Glastonbury, and Jam had the world exclusive play of Dizzee's new track 'Holiday' - we reckon it's gonna be a massive summer tune - check out the clip below!

Plus we had an interview with the man himself, talking about the new track and new album.

He's dating Rihanna, he's officially signed to a joint venture between Cash Money, Universal Records and Lil Wayne's new label Young Money and he's due to feature on Jay-Z's next single. Oh, and he's roped in Kanye West to make his directorial debut on the video to his smash single 'Best I Ever Had':

Is Drake set to be the next big thing or will be be another Papoose?
