Story behind the song
Originally "Long Way To go" was released in Australia as a rock song on the 1989 album "The Wind". Quickly it became of a favorite of Michael's listeners. Then in 2004, across the ocean in the USA, a hip hop artist named Magisty, walked in to a Chicago venue while Charles was performing "Long Way To Go'. Immediatley digging the tune his mind started reeling as he rapped words to himself along with the song. Approaching Michael at the end of the show led one thing to another and 3 years later "Long Way To Go" emerges, and with it a new genre of music that has never been heard, or seen, before.

Certainly wasn't expecting this but I read the story and it all makes very successful sense! Been fascinated by the combo since Eminem/Dido, becoming more common and it works really well here.
