The new Jay-Z is...meh. It's OK. Experimental, new-agey and light years away from the freshness that is BP1 (we won't mention BP2). We play the best track on the record on this edition: Empire State of Mind featuring Alicia Keys. No Nas on the record too, which is a shame, as Jay and Esco together always rock (anybody remember Black Republicans?)
But because this is 20/20, we don't like to make too big a thing out of Jay. Hence the pic of Illuminating Shadows. Creaky Ewok Baggends (aka the Stun Gun Son of the 031 - that's the Durban area code to you non-Saffas) and King Babar are too fresh. Their Psycles EP is actually quite a bit better than Ewok's solo record Higher Flyer for Hire. We have a great joint from them here.
