This is the version of "Missing Links" London rapper Plan B wanted to release, but for obvious reasons couldn't. The track samples the opening piano chords from Radiohead's "Pyramid Song", but the Oxford art-rockers, being not famously sample-friendly, turned down his request to recycle elements of their track. Plan B talked about it in an interview with Ukhh.com:

Radiohead, they don't let anyone sample their shit. Which kinda fucked me up. I had to replay it. I was a little bit bitter about that, cos they were my heroes growing up. And I thought they didn't have the decency to listen to the track and tell me honestly what they thought. Just give me a proper reason and fair enough. Man just ignored me. That was a bit hurtful. Fuck it, I'm a grown man, I got over it, did a new version, put it on the album. People will hear the other version man.

That they will. This version, now appearing on Plan B's new Paint It Blacker mixtape, only samples a few seconds of Radiohead's intro, but while it might've been more impressive to hear him rock the original time signature, the beat here makes more sense.
