You've gotta love African musicians collabing with other countries. Such is Ben Sharpa. 20/20's favourite word-smasher has a great joint with the Foreign Beggars - despite being banned from the UK for no apparent reason. FB of course have the frontman with the best name in the world: Orifice Vulgatron. Him and his boys, including fellow MC Metropolis, have a new record out on their label Dented. It's called United Colours of Beggatron, and it rocks.
Plus there's this new cat from Durban, Zenith. He's dope.

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.
- All Said and Done featuring Kobe - Evidence
- Microphone Matters - Illuminating Shadows
- Empire State of Mind featuring Alicia Keys - Jay-Z
- We Ain't Goin' Nowhere featuring Donnie Brasco and Eli - Explicit
- I Want It All featuring Pro and Khuli - I.V. League

We're back! With some real crate-digging exploits. We've come across two dope Southern MCs called G-Side, and their project Starshipz and Rocketz. What is it with Southern Rap? It's either the worst, most contrived, horrible music you've ever heard, or it's too dope for words. Think Outkast, Jim Crow, T.I. (Yes, T.I.) and now G-Side.
20/20 bringing you the freshest...nicest...dopest...er...illest...raddest...swingingest...er...freshest...damn, repeated ourselves. Just get it.
- Lay Me Down / Not Tonight (Rob's Budden Blend) - Slaughterhouse
- Whirlwind Thru Cities - Afu-Ra
- All I Need (Remix) - Chaundon and Amerie
- G.S.I.D.E.R - G-Side
