Video clip - Hangin Around,'' Big Brovaz\u003cbr/\u003eThe funky UK hip hop collective Big Brovaz are back with the release of their comeback album ''Re-Entry.''\u003cbr/\u003eOriginal as six the band is now four and has come through some monumental changes to get here. \u003cbr/\u003eWith original raps and a theatrical approach to urban image the outfit lit up the pop world in 2002, ''Shooting'' straight to the top of the charts with their debut hit ''Nu Flow'' and continuing success with hit singles such as ''Favourite Things'' and ''Baby Boy''.\u003cbr/\u003eThey capitalised with the debut album ''Nu Flow'', and watched as the group became a U.K. sensation, taking home a shelf load of music awards. \u003cbr/\u003eBut then the dream quickly turned sour. They faced a barrage of problems after rapper Flawless was thrown out of the band in March 2004 after he was deported from America when he was caught with marijuana.\u003cbr/\u003eThe publicity killed their chances to crack America and follow up single releases did dismal business. Soon after Sony sacked them.\u003cbr/\u003eLikened to top acts such as Outkast and The Fugees, Big Brovaz have been working hard in the last two years in search of redemption and the result upcoming album ''Re-Entry.'' The first single to be released is ''Hangin Around.''\u003cbr/\u003eRecalling the time spent in the showbiz twilight zone, Randy said:\u003cbr/\u003e\"We never really lost our spark in the first place, it''s just that we never had the opportunity to put our records together anymore because after the record label dropped us, or after we parted ways with the record label, let me just say it like that, after that happened we just didn''t know if we were going to go forward as Big Brovaz or if we were going to separate at that point. It''s not that we didn''t have the spark still it''s just that we didn''t know if the opportunity would arise for us to still carry on as Big Brovaz, but when it did we just loved it and jumped back in, definitely.\"\u003cbr/\u003eThe first single to be released is ''Hangin Around,'' a cautionary warning to inner city youth to get a life.\u003cbr/\u003e\"Well ''Hangin Around'' is directed at the inner city youth because I believe in the inner cities there are a lot of kids just hanging around wasting time rather than setting themselves a goal and reaching that goal. So ''Hangin Around'' is basically don''t hang around and find something to do, do you understand what I am saying? It goes down into a lot of different things, the reason why is that there are a lot of different cultures going on that we are not really feeling, like the youth culture of everyone wearing hoodies (hooded jackets) and stuff like that, we are not really feeling that. I don''t even wear caps anymore I wear bowler hats just to differentiate Big Brovaz from the rest of them. So we are still as positive as ever.\"\u003cbr/\u003eIndeed Big Brovaz are actively campaigning to the youth community, showing young people how to take a positive approach to complex social issues. Having very recently publicly faced up to some of these difficult issues themselves, the band wanted to voice their knowledge and experience.\u003cbr/\u003eThe campaign covers issues including drugs, self harm, violence and life on the streets in general, to which Big Brovaz utilise the lyrics of their new single to demonstrate they recognise the problems of growing up, on the streets.\u003cbr/\u003eJ Rock, Big Brovaz, said: \"It''s definitely hard to be an angel anyway, none of us are, so when you see us making mistakes and correcting them it fells better because you know we have been through it, if you understand what I am saying. A lot of people just talk about it and they haven''t been through it and it goes over a lot of people''s heads but when it comes from people like Big Brovaz it sticks and the kids look up to that, because it is us that were they, they looked up to us even when we didn''t have  a record deal. They are going to continue to do that through our triumphs.\"\u003cbr/\u003eDespite their success (and failure) Big Brovaz believe that their innovative, mellow sound is often drowned out in favour of the more gritty and angry ''''grime'' sound which has become the voice of the British inner cities.\u003cbr/\u003eRandy said:\"They tend to overlook Big Brovaz when they are talking about Urban music, so I think this album.... what I would really love for it is to just get the respect that we deserve really.
