Goldie Lookin Chain have hit back at a recent spoof of rapper Jay-Z's 'Empire State Of Mind'.
The Welsh hip-cop collective claim the parody, entitled 'Newport (Ymerodraeth State Of Mind)', misrepresents their city.
They have released their own version of the song, which they told Sky News shows the Welsh city as a “city thousand broken dreams”.
In the song, GLS member Rhys directly attacks MJ Delaney, who wrote the original spoof.
He raps: “You're not from Newport / You've probably never been there either / I'll bet you a fiver,” before adding: "You ripped off my style, but to be honest it made me smile."
MJ Delaney's version of 'Empire State Of Mind' has since been removed from YouTube following a copyright claim.
