Yo! Back up now and give a brother room...

If Boom Shake The Room is not to appear in the game, we'll be crestfallen, but while that remains in question, we're delighted to exclusively reveal that DJ Jazzy Jeff will appear in DJ Hero as a playable character.

Yes, Will Smith's former partner in crime will feature as a fully playable character in the new turntable-boasting video game from Activision, which is set to hit the UK in October this year.

Jeff will star alongside fellow mixing master Grandmaster Flash and rappers Eminem and Jay-Z in the game which features over 100 eclectic songs crafted together in 80 different mixes. Check out our UK exclusive video to see Jazzy Jeff in action.
