Pioneer Unit just provided us with some powerful visuals to match the powerful message in 'Check The Evidence' from Ben Sharpa's debut solo album, B.Sharpa. Dplanet is one of the most under-rated producers around if you ask me, his beats are always HUGE! You can't help but nod your head, and B.Sharpa compliments the backdrop beautifully with some socially-conscious, thought-provoking lyrics.

Thugga - Give Me A Sign ft DJ Peewee

2010-10-05T16:58:00.000+02:00

This has got to be the best track off the Thugga October 28 EP that we posted a few days ago. Not only did DJ Peewee produce this beat, he makes a brilliant guest appearance singing the hook! We already knew he was a talented DJ and producer, but we didn't know he could sing too!! Anyway make sure you listen, this is a great track and Thugga killed it too:

Thugga, a member of the Zone Fam, just dropped a brand new EP and its CRAZY!!! The backdrop is provided mostly by 25 to Lyf's DJ Peewee on the boards (he produced 5 of the tracks on the EP) but Thugga is certainly the centre of attention here and he quickly grabs your attention with some well constructed lines and clever punchlines. I wasn't sure what to expect from this EP as I have not

Golden Chariots Vol. 2 by San the Instru-Monumentalist

2010-09-26T11:19:00.002+02:00

I have a confession to make - I have been holding out on you. I apologise. Its not really fair that I have had this on repeat for the last week and yet I did not share it with you all. What I love about this project, apart from the obvious great production that no doubt took plenty of time and hard work, but also the fact that San deliberately chose some lesser known verses from 'non-mainstream'

A.K.A - B.M.F (Exclusive)

2010-08-26T10:02:00.001+02:00

Firstly, let me say Rick Ross's B.M.F is probably my favourite track of the year so far, and needless to say a lot of cats have tried to jump on the bandwagon. So far i havent been impressed by most renditions bar Lupe Fiasco's effort. But along comes A.K.A with his version of BMF.......... and i cant front... THIS JOINT IS SMOKING!! A.K.A. is really becoming one of my favourite rappers out there

A semi-finalist in the 2008 Sprite Emcee Africa Competition (*cough - i think he beat Snaz-D in that round* cough), Teeto Ceemos has always been one of my favourite emcees on the continent. I, for one have been eagerly anticipating more of his work. With the smash hit Oshamo (Ft Tha Suspect) out we all hoped that would be an appetiser of things to come. Well here is "Da Freshness" Mixtape

The G.A.N.G – Shadow Of The Night

2010-08-18T10:19:00.005+02:00

These guys have a really polished sound, very impressive. The track is definitely an ANTHEM - sounds like it could be the theme song to a movie or TV series! (I wonder if their manager is reading this?) Anyway, great song - the singer sounds so much like R.Kelly!
