There’s a whole lot of other great tracks that were released in Cape Town in 2015 but these are the ones we chose according to what we played on the show, musical excellence, reach and of course the response of our listeners.
Listen to the whole show below and check the tracklist underneath.
Tracks, most of them off our November playlist, that we thought banged. In no particular order.

On last week’s episode of Headwarmaz, we had rapper Dope Saint Jude co-host the show with us for the first two hours. We also got to interview her about her music and views on issues like Fees Must Fall, sexuality in hip hop, Cape Town hip hop and more. She also rapped her “Xxplosive” track live.
We also interviewed Khayelitsha-based emcee, Styles who was there to promote his latest album Talent and Dreams. He also dropped some bars live towards the end of the interview.

It’s a hip hop head thing (we are all guilty of it) – allowing our nostalgia and veneration of the old school make us overlook the dope shit from this era. The old school was dope, yes, but I believe there’s a lot of great music being made now but it ends up slipping through the cracks because there’s a lot of garbage flooding the scene. But by dismissing the new school completely, you are not helping hip hop grow.
Being a radio show, it’s our job to sift through the bullshit and bring you the best. On last week’s episode, we curated a playlist of tracks from the last two or three years we believe are future classics – basically tracks you’ll still be bumping 10 years from now. With the help of the community, who made their recommendations earlier in the week, we made a list of about 30 future classics. Of course, these aren’t the only ones (there’s loads others) but we only had two hours.

In light of Heritage Day (25 September 2015), we looked back at where South African hip hop came fom through songs. We know we didn’t play everything (that’s just impossible), so you are more than welcome to criticise our choice, just don’t get so caught up on that and miss out on the good tunes. 🙂 Read more
On our September 18th episode, we interviewed two up-and-coming rappers, Deon from Kalkfontein and MO Svij from Gugulethu. The former played some tracks from his mixtape, My Sense of Rhythm – which is currently available for you to buy. MO Svij is dropping something next year, he says.
We had our regular features, The Marathon, Respect The Producer and Crispy Fresh. Listen to the whole show below and peep the tracklist underneath.
