Jai Paul is probably the most intriguing member of the BBC Sound of 2011 poll, by virtue that no-one really knew anything about the 21 year old North Londoner and he only had one song. But what a song ‘BTSTU’ is. Originally released onto blogs last May, the squelching electro-pop song has been remastered for Jai Paul’s upcoming album for XL Recordings and is currently on sale on iTunes.

Good work Ronan.
Man, I have been waiting since last May for more tracks from Jai Paul. I almost forgot about this track, which has gotten more plays than my brain was ready for.
Why isn’t Drake given any credit?
Drake sampled this song not the other way around.
