Apollo Brown & Joell Ortiz - Mona Lisa
Apollo Brown and Joell Ortiz deliver twelve tracks of uncut heat with the arrival of their first collaborative album entitled Mona Lisa. Neither party needs an introduction, but for those that need convincing:
Don't even need the worst of me to get the best of you/A couple healthy words from me and turns you vegetable/Any rapper is edible/I'll clap you off your pedestal/Pedal you on the back of my Vespa to an incredible desolate desert location next to some sort of federal military installation/Install some more lead in you then make you write 'yaowah' a million times in blood, legible/Some people say I'm not normal/No formal introduction needed 'cause if I see you, I am not cordial/Hold this fist across your head, that's how I forewarn you
Remy Banks - Champ Hoody Music Ep. 2
World’s Fair representative Remy Banks drops the second installment of the Champ Hoody series with the arrival of Champ Hoody Music Ep. 2 featuring Zelooperz, Lansky Jones, Wiki and Domo Genesis.

Buster Wolf x Lorén McCutcheon - One Two Three EP
Frequent collaborators Buster Wolf and Lorén McCutcheon churn out an extended play with the release of One Two Three. The production is a combination of boom-bap and experimental sensibilities that sports an appropriately dank low end. McCutcheon’s vocal is pitched up, distorted and woven into the tracks.
Aewon Wolf - Choose Love
Durban spitter Aewon Wolf drops the prequel to his final album under the AW moniker entitled Choose Love. Okayafrica recently profiled the project and offered some insight on Wolf’s artistic outlook and trajectory.
Aewon has been vocal about how the music industry isn't for him. He is currently on a journey to rediscover himself, and is also going through a rebranding of some sort. The crew he recently cofounded, Future Africa, aims to make music that sounds "authentically South African" while still not staying out of touch with where music currently is globally.
