5. Thank you – Jay Z
Thank you is the 2nd track off Jay Z’s latest offering, Blueprint 3. The album’s official international release was on the 14 September 2009. The album sold an estimated 480 000 copies in the first week. This makes Blueprint 3, his eleventh #1 album.
On this track Jay Z predicts the sale status of this album…
”Please don't bow in my presence How am I a Legend?
I just got 10 #1 albums Maybe now 11
More hits than a Now! 11”
The album features the likes of Rihanna, Kanye West, Drake, Alicia Keys, Young Geezy, Pharell, and surprising appearances by West’s protégé’s Kid Cudi and Mr. Hudson.
Kanye West and No I.D are responsible for most of the production, with some tracks produced by Timbaland, Swizz Beats and Pharrel.
4. You’ve forgotten the words - Impozstah
This track comes from the debut album called Then and now: Volume 1. He is responsible for the majority of the production, with Arsenic (of the Maniac Metalloids) involved in production and mastering of the project.
3. Downtown City – Ill-literate Skill
The album is Off the Radar…putting Cape Town on the radar. This Cape hip hop duo has put in lots of work and they continue to bear fruit. Having worked with Driemanskap, Reason, Nthabi and Proverb, they went on to share stages with the likes of Slum Village.
2. Workers Comp – Mos Def
The Ecstatic was released in June 2009 and received wide applause from critics. However the popularity was not converted into sales. The album debuted at #9 on the Billboard 200 , dropping to #29 in the second week.
The album features the likes of Slick Rick, Georgia Anne Muldrow and old friend Talib Kweli.
Production featured Madlib, Oh No and J Dilla.
1. Walk the walk – Jargon…
Keeping it strictly Cape Town, Jargon comes in at #1 with a track that brings together artists from the Delft South township. Banging beat and kick-a** rhymes, what more can you ask for?
