I agree with the Smith & Mighty/ More Rockers thing. I've loved More
Rockers stuff like "Another Day" And Smith & Mighty's "Walk On". But I
feel Roni Size's early stuff also had a great impact on Junglists. "All
the Crew, Just Big Up" was a massive tune in "94. "It's A JazzThing",
"Step Up", " Fashion", "Phyzical", and "Daylight" were AWESOME tunes
(94-95)! Full Cycle, V, and Dope Dragon were far more recognized in the
Jungle scene way before his Reprezent LP. I feel that Roni Size is
genius (more than Goldie will ever be). His music is so diverse and has
tons of SOUL. And I cant forget the Full Cycle Crew(Krust, Die, Suv,
Bill Riley, and MC Dynamite)!!!!! Truly ahead of the pack.
