I'm sure Andre was very open about the source of this song so that nobody assumed he created that riff. Rappers are very upstanding gentleman who love to give credit where it's due when it comes to them sampling other peoples' music. That's why all of us knew this all these years.

for a younger generation, McCallum is most famous for his long-running role as Dr Donald ‘Ducky’ Mallard in the global smash hit NCIS.

But three years before he took up the role of Ducky he gained renewed international recognition when he was given a writing credit on The Next Episode.
