We back baby and there’s only one way to start off this season, with some authority. It’s been a long time coming, this guy has been the most requested guest to come on the show in the past six months. Having set himself up as the authoritative figure in SA Hip Hop, we definitely had to have him on the show, ladies and gents, boys and girls we have the one and only Nota in the middle seat. 

Nota has made some shocking statements on the socials and national TV,  he’s at the same time also gave us truths about the music industry. Enjoy the episode as we try to extract more gems from the man and find out why he called us dick riders. Enjoy  ReplyForwardFollow the hosts on Twitter;

We are back in this ting with another fire guest, the one and only Rāms. Fresh off his newly released EP, ‘He say, she say’. Before chopping things up about this new EP, we spoke about some of the dope events we’ve been to since you last heard from us. We also got into the new music that was released recently, Bhovamania proved to be quiet polarising among us. There was definitely a lot to go through with Rāms, first on the table was his days as a member of Onyx and how his musical style has changed over the years. There’s a lot more in between, enjoy the episode and get with us on the socials.
