Well, we can't really tell you more about Goldie Lookin' Chain than we have done already but they are playing Cardiff tomorrow night so here's a few words about the acts brave enough to support them.

Ahem, well, the show's going to start with the wonderful Skinnyman (pictured) who is either taking the Michael or has been booked to take to rise out of.

A white fella from London town, Skinnyman is determined to sound as like a fella from Jamaica as it's possible to be, innit.

He's had a lot of practice having started rapping when he was just nine years old.

Perhaps he's like Michael Jackson and faded from black to white through the years but that's unlikely.

Lyrically, Skinnyman is concerned with poverty on estates and to be fair on Council Estate of Mind he talks a pretty vivid picture of social deprivation.

It's taken from his new single, No Big Ting, out earlier this month, which is drawn from his debut album Council Estate of Mind.

It was released via Low Life Records and play listed by Radio One.

He has just finished a joint tour with DJ Flip and will be with GLC for all 17 dates of their UK tour.

* Next up is a man with a history with GLC, John The White Rapper, whose comedy is intentional.

The hysterical spoof rapper has supported GLC previously but audiences haven't taken as well to the lone gunman.

He has taken Kris Kross, Vanilla Ice and Skilo and distilled their awfulness into one dollop of crass exploitative excess.

He MCs to Britney Spear's Toxic, raps about girls not liking him and prances about in hip-hop mocking garb.

* Skinnyman, John The White Rapper and Goldie Lookin' Chain play Cardiff University on Saturday, October 2.
