In the final episode of this season, we have Yinka, the baddie, and record producer Jaylon with us to recap some of the events of 2020. We spoke about the impact of COVID-19 on December and the year as a whole. We got into most of the projects that dropped in 2020, the producers that showed out, our old faves that came out to play, and the two most arguable categories; next rated and artist of the year. We deliberated if with the rise of the amapiano sound, is the zanku sound dying? Finally, we came to the conclusion that 2020 was a concept and not exactly a year.
