There's a dude we know called Rah Zemos. He's a Lebanese-Canadian cat who likes putting together mixtapes for his label, Noturnalight. The latest, Full Specturm Vol.2, includes MCs from everywhere: SA, Iraw, Syria, Lebanon, Toronto, Montreal, Dakar, the US (PLANET ASIA WE SEE YOU!) and Morocco. It's dope as fuck. Which is why it's on here. You can get the mixtape free, gratis, mahala at www.nocturnalight.com Elsewhere, we have a clip of an interview with Trenton, the MC from Trenton and Free Radical - a fresh group you need to hear.

Cormega. Hardly the game-changer he once might have been right? Beatdowns by former partner Nas and a general lack of quality material since his early albums might have hamstrung the NY rhymer before, but right now he's done the impossible. He's fresh. Mega Fresh. Mega Fresh X, one might say. Big Daddy Kane, DJ Red Alert, KRS-One, Grand Puba and PMD agree. You need to hear this track.

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. - 6 in the Morning - Statik Selektah feat.

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.

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.

That brand new Swollen Members joint you've been hearing whispers about? We got it. Red Dragon, it's called - and it looks like Mad and Prev (plus new member Rob the Viking) have had some of their old material (cough*Ladyvenom*cough) on rotation.

DJ JS1 just put out a stoopid fresh record. It's called Ground Original 2 and gathers together just about every dope MC you can think of, then locks them in a room and doesn't let them out until they work together. So I guess that means JS stands for JigSaw from the Saw movies. Best hope that Pharoahe Monch and OC manage to get their way out of his traps intact, but hey, these are two of the nicest, most Ridiculous cats to ever do it. Speaking of Pharoahe, Tactical Thinking opened for him when he played London's Jazz Cafe recently; we've got a sick joint from member Assa up in this one.

There's something truly special on this episode. No, I'm not going to tell you what it is. Fine. It's the reunion of two hip-hop superstars that created a monumental, life-changing track years ago, and have come back together to create something...well, just listen. You can't afford to miss this. By the way, RIP Baatin (above). That's now two members of Slum Village who have passed, which is bloody awful, and this one was a founding member. Baatin (Titus Glover) passed away over the weekend in Detroit, in unknown circumstances - though there is no indication of foul play. There's a classic Slum V jam on this episode to say thanks to him and his boys for making such fresh music.

DJs Cappell and Smitty did it - Blue Eyes instrumentals, remixed and dubbed under Biggie's vocals. It is as dope as it sounds. The two original kings of NY.

K'Naan has officially given one of the best shows of the year. His gig at Cargo in North London was beaten only by the Roots at the Royal Festival Hall. He did everything from Soobax to Waving Flag, which was his last track and is on this episode. Troubador may not be the best rap album of the year, but it's certainly one of the most important. 20/20 is back and blazing yet again, and K'Naan gets assists from Dubbledge, Vinnie Paz, Marco Polo and more.

The Chef not only swung by the UK for a performance on Saturday night (accompanied by just about every British MC ever, including Micall Parknsun who is on this episode - oh, and Rahzel) but also performed stuff from OB4CL2. Which is kinda cool. He's on here, with a new joint. Fresh and dope! And plenty more.

FREE ALBUM DOWNLOAD! Re-Invention Vol.2: The MC's LP

Sun, 17 May 2009 08:10:00 +0000

A while ago, a few guys on an otherwise obscure internet message board got together and made a beat tape. They called it Re-Invention, and it went down so well that they decided to make another. It's called Re-Invention Vol.2, and as you may have guessed, this time it features MCs. Some dope ones, from many different countries, all rocking over crazy beats. This album - even if I'm biased (since I'm on it myself) - rocks. It's a solid, funky-as-hell mix of great beats and sick rhymes. It's also entirely free to download. It's had over 500 DLs at the time of writing. Which is incredible, for a tape like this one. The track above is one of my joints, entitled Caught Between Worlds. Free, gratis, mahala.

One of the great things about UK hip-hop is how close it links with the UK dub scene. These aren't so much remixes as remakes - with Michael Bay-type production budgets. HUGE beats. We have two great examples right here, including the Foreign Beggars (pictured) and the crazy new Kyza single - mixed as beautifully as only 20/20 can. Play at top volume. This edition, by the way, is big, brutal and heavy. If you can't deal with speaker-splitting beats, huge basslines and sick rhymes, then maybe this isn't for you. Like that kind of thing?

I personally kept Ritual Store in Joburg afloat by spending a truly stupid amount of money on CDs and an oversized Ben Sharpa T-shirt. Shouts to Ritual Store (Inta/Osmic), you guys rock. Most of the tunes on this episode are on you. Joburg is fine. We narrowly missed the Back to the City gig, didn't get into the Mos Def show, had a killer time out at CCHQ in Germiston, drunk Bowls Club dry and got to drive an Audi R8. Oh, and shouts to Alias and San for hooking a brother up in Grahamstown. Even if I had to drive back to East London airport at 5AM, I had good tunes for company.

If you have DSTV (African satellite TV), it has something called the Audio Bouquet - a bunch of really funky digital radio stations. Channel 172 is TransAfrica Radio, the guys who have been good enough to let 20/20 take over the airwaves one day a week. It'd make me really, really happy if you'd tune in. Even if you don't dig hip-hop, tune in. I only get to keep the show if I have listeners, so log on! You can catch the show on TUESDAYS at 15h00, 22h00 and 03h00 on WEDNESDAY mornings.

LINK FOR THE ALBUM DOWNLOAD IS BELOW - CLICK THERE! This is the official debut EP of the hip-hop artist and 20/20 DJ Rob One , entitled Superhero. With stellar production by Alias, Nyambz, Ootz, San and Rob himself, and featuring guest vocals from Nomalanga and Spyke, this is a record you need to own. Recorded in both SA and the UK, Superhero is a comic book in musical form; a twisted journey through the mind of an assassin in a wicked city, a tale of both thunder gods and sunkissed children, a recording of a deep-thinking MC with a lot on his mind and even more to say. Massive guitar licks, rumbling bass, sweeping and damn near vertical orchestral samples all play backdrop to Rob as he rips the shit out of the mic with crazy stories and insane battle rhymes. The album sleeve features slick artwork by Keirone Capstack and additional design by Nicole Simpson. It's available for free download now: 1. Rocket Fuel (Produced by Alias) 2. Thunder God (Redux) (Produced by Alias) 3. Superhero (Produced by Alias) 4. Sunkissed Children (Featuring Nomalanga) (Produced by Ootz) 5. Wake Up (Produced by Rob One) 6. Do You Understand?

Sun, 08 Feb 2009 09:16:00 +0000

The lovely Naturelle came along to the studios to rock this episode of 20/20 with us, bringing along her own day-glo backpack full of dope tunes. She supplied some kick-ass joints from Nthabi, Blaqphamous, Dope G and the Holstar, while we threw some Bliss n Eso, Illuminate, MF Doom and Mighty Underdogs into the mix. So that's like six tracks, five countries, two hosts and one show. We run the numbers anyway you look at it. It's a dope show, bit longer than usual. Many thanks to Nat for coming along for the first double-hosted show in 20/20 history. We know you're gonna dig this... The tracklist: - Take Us There - The Holstar f/Dope G - The Sea is Rising - Bliss n Eso - Questions - Nthabi - Breaking Chains - Illuminate - Stop (Remix) - Blaqphamous - Gunfight - The Mighty Underdogs f/MF Doom - rob one EMAIL US: 2020radio@gmail.com IF YOU WANT NAT BACK ON A MORE REGULAR BASIS, EMAIL US OR DROP A COMMENT AND LET US KNOW!
