This week Jeff Weiss and MC Nocando explore the connection between Hip-Hop and African music. The duo talk about the history of Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti, rappers who have sampled Fela Kuti songs, and finally play a Wale track. Legendary Afrobeat star Femi Kuti stops by to discuss the formation of Afrobeat, how he now must find a balance between Facebook, Twitter, and practicing his instruments, and the Afrobeat influence on Hip-Hop.

I think sampling's roots actually go back to either Germany or France (musique concrete)

This is so great.

I enjoyed this ep as usual but was a bit disapointed that there was no actual spotlight on African rappers. Actually an international rap ep would be great.
