Lethal Bizzle is a London rapper of Ghanian descent. He released this song "Babylon Burning the Ghetto" as one half of a double A-side single along side "Bizzle Bizzle" in 2007. It obviously samples The Ruts' song "Babylon's Burning" but unlike a lot of rap artists, he seems to have blended the Ruts original with his rapping and scratching, rather than just sampling part of the song for the chorus. In fact, he gives the original the respect it deserves and that is all we ask for, when an iconic song like this is sampled.
