Greatest Hits is a compilation album released by British hip hop group Blazin' Squad. The album was released digitally via 7digital.com on 22 June 2009.[1] The album failed to chart on the UK Albums Chart.

Background

Following the group's split in late 2004, four of the original band members decided to continue writing and recording, and in 2006, they signed a deal with Peach Records, got in contact with their previous songwriters and released a comeback single, "All Night Long". The comeback was not successful, and "All Night Long" failed to chart. The group were subsequently dropped from the label. In 2008, after recruiting another of the original band members, the five-piece signed a deal with Naughty Boy Records and released a further comeback single, "Let's Start Again". This single performed worse than All Night Long, and the group were subsequently dropped again. Their contract with Naughty Boy licensed them to release an album - and subsequently, a greatest hits compilation, containing all of the group's singles, as well as some b-sides and remixes, was released.
