It was played by L Double on One in the Jungle June 97 and Kenny Ken at Helter Skelter Strings of Life June 1997, so it isn't a accapella mixed over, my guess is that it was made by Lemon D because the intro drums are like the ones off Afro Kids Shooks on Chronic 1996.

I reckon it wasn't released because of all the trouble DJ Zinc & Hype got into with ?ugee or Not, This Nod Factor remix uses so much of the original it could easily of lead to a similar law suit,

Finally figured it out It's Hard Factor by L Double, sadly it's unreleased. This Kenny Ken 1997 Kiss FM show helped me I.D it.

Around track 8 L Double Saturday (Rollers Revival mix) Kenny Ken talks about being given a DAT by L Double that he made dubplates of. Saturday contains the same DJ Quicksilver Bellisma scratch sample, and the same drum sample that appears on the Hardfactor. Plus L Double plays Hardfactor 20th June 1997 on One In The Jungle.

I still reckon copyright was the reason it wasn't released, it's a real shame because over 20 years on it still sounds good.

Good to get this nailed down at last. Someone on another RDB thread spoke about it maybe being by L Double.

 

On all the TL i've done over this period , it was pretty much only ever played by Kenny Ken . I think maybe only one other dj, could be Hype , played it .

 

It had previously been sampled in this track from 95 :
