“32” is one of the two solo tracks by Lyrical Wanzam on the upcoming “Extremely Looney” album project with fellow Cryme Records label mate Looney TKR. Wanzam, Juls and Looney are all favorites of mine because of their ability to give hip hop a distinctly Ghanaian vibe. Juls is always incorporating highlife riffs into his beats (more on this here), while the MC duo always favor pidgin to deliver their bits of GH wisdom.

If you missed Melo on his European tour, here is a small glimpse of the action. Backed by the Waga Block Band along with Joey le Soldat on vocals, Numa Lakroch’ on drums and pads, and Mama J on percussion and backing vocals. I myself have not had the pleasure of witnessing them live, but I keep hearing rave reviews. Until Melo comes back for his next tour, enjoy this rehearsal vid for the song Barka Barka, off of his Wogdog Blues album. Sneak peak: vinyl coming soon!!! Full video credits over at youtube.

Didjak is one of the most tenacious artists I’ve met: he’s managed to self produce a full album, featuring some of the continent’s greatest voices, in a city famed for its music – and for how expensive and difficult it has become to record music. Kinshasa once had the greatest musical output in all of Africa, but these days the ratio between production costs and sales makes it almost impossible to release a full studio album. Case in point, even the biggest names in Congolese music seem to only be releasing live albums these days. But this situation hasn’t stopped Didjak, who’s been working on his sophomore album for a few years now. You can read more about Didjak’s story here, and if you happen to be in Kinshasa this weekend, make sure to check out the launch for the album Africa Numero 1 calls “simply genius”. Listen to the full album below, and grab the free magical single Nakozonga, featuring the famed first bars from Ernesto Djédjé‘s classic hit Ziboté:
DJ Pizaro: This week we have Drummer Boy by Naija Afrobeats Star Naira Marley, Naija afrobeats legend Flavour N'abania features east africa's afrobeats star Diamond Platnumz on Time To Party , the dancehall king from Ghana Shatta Wale with Testimony, Elele by Yemi...

DJ Znobia is one of my all time musical heroes. The guy has done more to shape kuduro or tarraxinha into what we now know them to be, than any other angolan or Portugues artist I can think of. On this track he goes bananas over a very, very famous sound. Bloooohoooooooood!
In case you didn’t know… we will be releasing a so far so siiiiiiiick remix EP of new unreleased tracks by Mohamed Alidu, whom you can read about here. The first remix was just released as a teaser via the XLR8R website, and features the work of…. Murlo! A current favorite of mine, check thesecrazytunes.
In other news, big up to The Republic for their feature in the Guardian! And a special shout out to SanSe my DJ partner in crime in Accra, who turns the big 4-0! And is about to celebrate in style, with Ackah Blay’s full highlife band… chale more vim, enjoy the weekend!
