Her vocals also featured on the popular UK garage track "Hot Peppers Revenge" by Hot Pepper in 1999.[6] In 2019, Artful Dodger included the song in his list of his "5 favourite forgotten gems from the glory days of 2-step and 4x4", saying: "Straight out of the '99 vault comes 'Hot Peppers Revenge'. Released on Hot Pepper's own Sow & Reap Records, this tune is a big favourite amongst many established UKG DJs as well as AD, including DJ Q and Scott Garcia. Although the life of Sow & Reap was short, the back catalogue is one for any astute UKG fanatic."[7]
