Uh oh.... I don't see Fools & Horses here.... I will assume that it is because their most recent album came out in 2008.
Happily, they are in the studio this month and will have newness for us soon!

Sam you should check "Bmore State of Mind" by a local artist ala Jay-Z & Alicia Keyes. It's in your inbox depending on if they've changed the email restritions since I was over there.
