This is arguably the most nervous I've been before conducting an interview on my radio show - Why? Well, probably because I spoke to Scorpio while he was overseas and I messed up a few times when trying to connect the call to the radio desk.

Eventually though, everything got sorted; Scorpio was an absolutely tolerant pro, an articulate and passionate artist who spoke very highly of the UK.

He spoke at great length, which for an interviewer can be a real gift; I found him to be a thoroughly interesting and delightful dude to chat to.

If you're a fan of Hip Hop, then this guy is a true pioneer of the South Bronx Rap scene - one of the founding fathers of the genre.

He takes his place alongside Melle Mel in the Sugarhill Reunion tour that comes to Manchester, UK, on 28th May 2016.

His new single, with Melle Mel, 'Some Kind of Sorry' is at the end of the recording and you're going to want to hear that!
