20/20 EPISODE 35 (28/04/08)

If you think Sweden is only good for being neutral and being boring, you obviously haven't heard of DJ Embee and his Looptroop Rockers. Settle back, because Embee and his boys Promoe and Supreme have a new album out - their fourth, minus former member CosM.I.C - which reaffirms their possie as one of the tightest hip-hop groups on earth. Two tracks from them on this little jawn...

Oh, and from Sweden to Russia, the US and South Africa: Nas gets deep on 'em, Reason massacres 'em, the Federation stick the boom-bap to 'em and Ivan Ives Cappadonna's 'em. If that made any sense to you, congrats. You're cool as fuck. And you need 20/20 in your life.

Download that shit.

Nothing like a good freestyle. One with a hot beat behind it, crazy punches and insane flows...aaaah. It's like the hip-hop version of chocolate, sex and beer, all rolled into one.

We've collected some dope frees from Canibus, Apathy, Big Pun and Remy Ma into this episode - call it the Freestyle Edition. More coming in the next few weeks by the way. Rattex, Young Nations, Yungun and Aaron Jerome make up the complement.

By the way, we've broken download records this month - surpassing the 20/20 all time total with 500 downloads in one month, plus a whole bunch of single-day and consecutive-day records. Even I'm not sure what all this means. Anyway, you rock, for keeping this show moving. Thank you. Have a beer on me!

Trust the Freedom Front Plus - one of South Africa's most reactionary parties - to accuse a rapper of hate speech. The rapper in question is Zubz, and accusing him of hate speech is a bit like accusing Talib Kweli of being a martian.

There'll be a lot more on this score later this week, but on this episode there are dope tunes from Supremacy, Meth and Red, the Game and Aceyalone. YAAAAAAHHHH!!!

Erm, yes. Indeed.

Welsh hip-hop? Welsh hip-hop that ISN'T Goldie Lookin' Chain? OK, sure. (It's banging, trust me) Dude's name is Joe Blow. His album is Smoking Skills. It is the poo.

Other artists on this astoundingly alright episode: Pete Rock, Vast Aire, Vordul Mega, Ben Sharpa, Oracle Flo, Cosi G, Middle Finga, Dilated Peoples and Alchemist (TRIPLE THREAT!!!) and K'Naan. Plus your news, vaguely witty banter and squids. We like squids.

That new 20/20's gonna getcha boy...
