So Solid Crew: Controversial history
Three members of controversial garage group So Solid Crew have recorded a song for the Damilola Taylor Trust.

It follows the acquittal by a judge of two 16-year-olds charged with murdering 10-year-old Damilola in Peckham, south London, in November 2000.

No Love, by Skat-D, Face and Mac - collectively known as MBD - is due for inclusion on a forthcoming CD by various artists in support of the trust.

The record will feature tracks by Des'ree, Damage and Courtney Pine.

It will also include the tribute single Wake up the Morning, sung by Gabrielle, who is from nearby Brockley.

Spice Girl Emma Bunton, boy band Blue and Damon Albarn, of Blur and Gorillaz, are also in discussions about contributing songs.

Face told BBC Radio 1's Newsbeat the song was "about everything that's going on in the world - that there's no love".

"All the bad stuff that is going on in society, we want to take that away and make it good and make it happy, not just for us, but for everyone," he said.

Ashley Walters: Serving an 18-month sentence
Face, whose real name is Jason Moore, could himself be jailed after pleading guilty to driving in south London while banned.

The singer was charged with driving while disqualified and without insurance last week in Brixton.

The 23-year-old is due to return to court on 16 May for sentencing.

So Solid Crew member Ashley Walters - aka Asher D - is currently serving an 18-months sentence in a young offenders' institution for possessing an illegal gun.

Like Damilola Taylor, Walters hails from Peckham.
