KIDZ IN SPACE On The Cover Of Real Groove:

Well... one of them...

With the band covers for this months issue (Crowded House/Die! Die! Die!/KIS/Anika Moa), RG just featured one member from each group – strictly for composition reasons – the group photos appear inside the mag.

So here we have Ashley Hughes aka Ethical repping the crew.

Nice shades Eth!

YOUNG SID At iTunes:

The album started at #72 this morning, and has since moved to #13 on the Top Albums chart.

It also moves to #2 on the Top Hip Hop Albums chart.

Not bad going since Sid's album buyers mostly consist of people who like CD's (hence the super deluxe CD package).

I'm excited that people are finally hearing this music.

Shout to P Money for holding down the #1 slot on both charts.
