If 2010 is the year of Africa, June is most definitely the month where all the international expectation, exploration and exploitation of the Motherland are peaking. While most of the world was preparing for a month in front of the television, the African hip hop deejays went back to the studio to prepare a true pan-African June show of six hours. K’naan joined us for a chat during a stopover on his Coca-Cola world tour, sharing exclusive news about his collabo with Akon (‘If we don’t do something right now it’s a sin!’) and the focus of his upcoming music.
Also this month we welcome three new hosts from countries that haven’t been covered before by your favorite online web radio. From Botswana we have James Kebu whose regular Podtape shows have been a steady source of hip hop from Gaborone and other areas, and there’s Chyll & MJ who represent Zimbabwe from the Zim diaspora in the UK and Australia with their XBC Jumpoff podcast.
Then we tune in to African hip hop regular D Willy, the Ugandan dj from Hits FM in Zanzibar whose current show looks at hip hop from the mainland of Tanzania. Finally the diaspora show by Amal, J4 and Threesixty is an uptempo affair celebrating the soccer games with kwaito, township house and other club music, mostly from South Africa.
Beware of crossing vuvuzelas, and hit your Itunes to subscribe and download this show to your mobile device!
