Nookie

Jamesy P

Smoove

WE SAY

We first wrote about Nookie four months ago after a tip off from Urban Is King on our message board ( see here for more). Ministry signed it and have worked hard to build the momentum through credible routes. Mission accomplished - now Nookie is a massive street record that's ready to cross over. We're predicting this will be one of the ten biggest sellers of the year in the UK, and a worldwide smash too. Why? A massively infectious groove and a huge punter chorus. See the video here.
