We are joined in studio by one of Joburg's coolest hip hop outfit, Champagne69. You probably know them as the dudes that look like their way to the front row at fashion week but still throw down a wild mosh pit.

This episode has one of the funniest opening dialogues we've had, Willie and Siya let us in on their dealings with women in their lives as rappers. As per usual we then proceeded to past events just before we delved in their latest project 'Army of 2wo' and the growth from D2.

They let us in some of their dealings with big brands and what sets them apart from the rest of the 'New Wave' acts.

This was definitely a great way of getting to know the duo better.

We have one the most promising talent to come out of South Africa, ByLwansta. He ushers us in to the third season with an update on his upcoming project 'SPIJONGET' and how it will be rolled out to the masses, which is a totally interesting way. Among many other things, he lets us in his creative process and how he got to be on the Colors series.

As per our tradition around here, we had a discussion about some of our memorable music events in recent memory and Lil Frat goes in on K.O's latest Twitter antics.

All day one Soberers know that Kid X has been highly sought-after to be a guest on the show. Mfana ka Aunty finally graced the middle seat, we a lenghty and fruitful chat X. We got into his new album, his role at Raplyf, his unfruitful tenure at Cashtime Records, we also had a lengthy deliberation on which SA emcee ranks high on the Sway In The Morning freestyles and not rappers being bad payers.

This episode makes up for all the time we missed with Kid X, so listen on and enjoy.

We haven't touched on albums, events and industry shenanigans in a bit, so we decided to guve y'all something for #Ocsober.

As said we dissect all the recent albums and singles that dropped recently, but before all that we had a little issue to address with Stogie T, given his recent tweet in our direction. Lil Frat really popped off on here.

Listen on and enjoy.
