In keeping with our promise of a minimum of 1 podcast a week we present to you this weeks installment.  Unfortunately, while we were able to get the technical issues sorted out to do interviews and what not, this week again we will not be talking due to the fact that our interviewee was unreachable.  Nevertheless we will get there, we appeal to all to have patience like vultures during this period.

We start off with Divided Kingdom Republic from Zimbabwe, more info can be found here:

Next up is Villain from Polokwane, South Africa, who if some may remember his label was sued by Richard Branson.

Where was Mr Selwyn when I needed him upon the purchase of my car.  This here is one of my favourites and I continue to bump it in my car after many months, therefore it's inclusion on this podcast. 

Next is Skwatta Kamp, and what could be more appropriate in this political climate than this particular track.   

Next we shoot down to the Western Cape and listen to one of those WC Hip Hop legends, namely Caramel.  Sticking to the old skool legends agenda, we would be nowhere without POC so I put another one of their classics on here.

Next up is Bushman Brown (South Africa).  I got this CD in the post a few months ago, was blown away.  More info to come.

After that we listen to ROD, who comes from Retreat, South Africa.  He was the other half of Street Brothers.  This song is kinda old but at the time was pretty dope.

King David (South Africa) drops one in my mailbox, had to put it on here.

Planet Universe by Planet Universe (South Africa) is my track of the week.

Twig (South Africa) is next with 21st Century Apathy and then we listen to my neighbour in Woodstock, Controversy, with her dope track "I Met a Boy".
Lastly but not least, we have Al Kani (Zambia), with The Foundation, produced by Holstar.  These folks continue to impress me with their sick beats and flows.

Welcome to our first ever podcast.  Yes we have been promising this for years but finally we have the time to do this.  The primary focus of these podcasts is to showcase and promote, share our favourite tracks and to discuss hip hop.  For our first episode we were hoping to do a bit of talking and phone up a few people to do some interviews however due to technical difficulties that couldn't happen.  So instead of delaying the podcast again, we decided to publish the first one anyway.  This episode features some of Africa's finest hip hop artists including Holstar, Explicit, Rob One, Rattex, Nthabi, Tumi, Sudan, POC, J Bux and Skwatta Kamp. 

A special thanks goes to Rob One for the donation of the AG Jingle. 

For those other artists who submitted their tracks and didn't make it on this episode, don't be despondent, they will be on future episodes.  Just keep checking this page as we add more episodes in the next few days.
