Thanks for ID'ing this @jj, such a nice tune, shame it was never released. 
On the main Accelerated Culture thread a while back I recognised the source of the samples https://www.rolldabeats.com/forum/index.php?/topic/70201-accelerated-culture-12052001/page/2/#findComment-176031 - possibly he didn't get clearance to use these and this is why the tune was never released?

There's a Discogs entry for Follow The Leader (VIP) which is credited to Nicky Blackmarket (aka Nick O-D) and to Dillinja https://www.discogs.com/release/3912962-Nicky-Blackmarket-Dillinja-Dubwize-Follow-The-Leader-VIP-Untitled 
There's no audio clip included on that page so the tune on that dubplate could be the same as the one played by Ellis Dee or another unreleased version.

As you mentioned here back in 2012 https://www.rolldabeats.com/forum/index.php?/topic/57390-nick-od-follow-the-leader-november-1995/ Atmosphere Magazine credited the tune to just "Nick O-D" so it's possible there were two versions - one with and without Dillinja's involvement.
It would be great to find out if the tune on that Discogs dubplate is the same as the one Ellis Dee played and if Dillinja was actually involved in one or both versions (if there are actually two different versions - I assume he was involved somewhere as his name is written on the centre label).
I'll post here if I manage to find out any more  

EDIT, 15 October 2025: I messaged Nicky Blackmarket. He confirmed that Dillinja had no involvement with Follow The Leader so I'm not sure why Dillinja is listed on the centre label of that dubplate, clearly a mistake by someone.

Thanks jj. Much appreciated.

 

I've not found the other one yet, but Roger Jolly on Soundcloud has pointed out that the missing A7 ID is also an unknown (B3) on the Grooverider set here:
