That's how we rrrrrrrrrrrroll!!
On Wednesday we did an interview on Dutch national radio station FunX. The African Hip Hop Show is hosted by J4, GMB and DJ 360, so big ups to them for putting us on.
It's amazing that national radio in Holland has an entire show dedicated to African Hip Hop, and we don't in South Africa. Go figure.
We'll be posting a link to the mp3 of the interview as soon as it goes live. In the mean time check out some photos...

Listen to The Bridge on Yfm tonight at 10pm. Lee is going to be playing Why by Wordsworth and Ben Sharpa for the first time anywhere in the world.
Pioneer Unit's Ben Sharpa recorded the track with Lyricist Lounge all-star, Wordsworth, while he was down in Cape Town recently. Check out the recording session here
If you can't get Yfm on your radio, go to their website and listen to the live feed. Click the 'Y-ired' link at the top of the page, then click 'Live audio'. Sadly it only works on Windows, so Apple peeps will have to find someone with a PC.
That's how we rrrrrrrroll!!
If you're in the UK, you can catch the world exclusive of a brand new Ben Sharpa track (featuring KONFAB) on Mary Anne Hobbs' Experimental show tonight/ tomorrow morning between 02:00 and 04:00 (that's the early morning of Wednesday 14th Nov.)
If you can't stay up that late (or if you're not in the UK) you can catch the show on rewind until Tuesday 20th November on Mary Anne's page on the BBC website. Just click the Listen to the show link under the Listen again header.
Mary Anne Hobbs run tings!

The Unit was in full effect this weekend as Trusenz broadcast his show, 'Ground Zero', live from Cape Town. The show was broadcast on CKI FM, an SABC station that goes out across the Eastern Cape, on both Saturday and Sunday.
Tru was in town with his band BEE to do a couple of shows so he gave us the opportunity to talk to the people of the EC about what we're up to in Cape Town.
I've only ever been to inside the SABC building in Seapoint to do interviews on GoodHope FM (as they share the building). It was interesting to go deeper into the building and see the somewhat old skool SABC studios.
On Saturday Rattex and I did an interview and we played through his tracks on Planetary Assault. Ratteezy also did a freestyle over the 'Go and Ask' beat.
On Sunday we did it all over again, this time with Driemanskap who killed it as usual. Those boys always bring the FIRE!

And we don't stop! Another radio promo for the Planetary Assault launch party last night, this time at Bush Radio 89.5 FM with Claude from the Grime Council.
I took Rattex with me and met Otis Larynx and Hyphen from Archetypes outside the spot. Hyph was seriously blazed (which always worried me for live radio). Once we got in front of the mics it was all love. We went through the CD playing tracks and giving some background info on the making of the album.
Hyphen, Otis and Rattex killed a freestyle over the Kakalaki beat. It always amazes me that Hyph can be so blazed that he can hardly talk, but when you put a beat on he can rhyme like a beast.
True to form, KONFAB turned up an hour and a half late, just as we were leaving. The boys from Bush were kind enough to put us back on air so that KON and Hyphen could bust another freestyle over the Township Storm beat.
Make sure you check out the Grime Council's show on Bush Radio 89.5 FM between 6-8pm on Saturday.
That's how we rrrrrrroll!!
