This is a special episode of Not 97, featuring an artist who we played on season one episode one — Chidi Himself. Chidi shares an unreleased track with us, as well as introduces London-based friend and frequent collaborator MTMBO. He also plays a Soundcloud find of his own, California's own Denyah. We discuss Berlin's J. Lamotta's and her playful, dynamic delivery "Back In Town," as well as the shadowy raps of unknown UK artist Saxon.    Joy Crookes croones through the instant classic "Don't Let Me Down," and Haviah Mighty turns heads left & right on the marathon rap track "In Women Colour."
