General Levy's vocals on "Incredible" were adapted from a song he had previously written, titled "The Wickedest General".[2] In response to General Levy's remark, following the runaway success of "Incredible", that he was "runnin' jungle", an ad hoc "Committee" of DJs and others influential in the jungle community launched a campaign against the song.[4]
