I’ll let the homies tell it: “After Hype Magazine did an artitle with us, a lot of people have been asking about the Saida Crook dis track that Alligatah MC recorded 5 years ago. This was a random track and it wasnt meant to be in any project/album/or mixtape. But because peeps have been asking us about it. Here it is. Please note, in no way do we potray “Beef” (conflict among artists especialy in Hip-hop Music). We promote lyricism, brotherhood, art, culture and selfcontrol. Our opinion in a “beef” point of view should NOT influence yours as you have no understanding of its source.

Cap City on My Mind which I present to you now is solely handled by the big homie Trompie and includes remixes of the Sleepless in Seattle half and also some cuts from Official Bootlegs Vol. 1 mostly done by Nyambz.

Says the homie Proverb (whose work ethic gets more and more scary if i should say so myself): “Now off the bat you may recognize this beat as well as the melody as sung by the very talented RJ Benjamin. This was the original recording of the song that is now know as “The Journey - Off Manuscript” which features equally talented Tebogo (of Jazzworkx.) The truth is after this version was recorded there were a few “unforeseen” circumstances which forced me to record a new version of the song, the production was then given to Sliquor who recorded a completely different song (Dreamer) and still featured RJ Benjamin. RJ kept the melody the same and just adjusted the lyrics to suit the new version.”

TK and I got to know each other during the shooting of the Always Keep Moving Dance Competition and she agreed to hop into studio and feature on a song. Unfortunately she has since passed but her music and her sensational spirit will forever live on. Rest in Peace TK..”

Here’s an interesting story about this joint on how it came about… I got this from REAS himself: It was Sunday 29 march at 8pm, When Uno (Ill-Skillz member from Cape Town) wanted to do a joint before he leaves back the mother city. X-rated lands up at my spot to hang, and we call up Ootz to make summin happen. We call up Spencer of Hear Street to use his studio for a while and lace summin and BAM… After an interesting call from Nthabi, who was at Sun City having the time of her life at the time, we started recording this beautiful piece of work. And for the first time in a while… I’m really proud!
Enjoy!”

Props to Ill Po for shooting these through our way- with this little note: “Here’s a couple joints coincidentally leaked on the same day that I did the beats for. Cool antecdote about the Pryslezz/Slum Village beat… I made that beat in 2006 as my J.Dilla Dedication beat, so to have Slum Village on it actually means a lot to me… kinda like a dream fully realized. Anyway, enjoy!”

Take a listen and it can be put on the site for people to listen and critic. Thank you.”

Spotted on the FB page of the femcee with the most male groupies this side of the equator. Basically she asked her fans to send her questions and offered to answer them in a song. Which she did exceptionally as we have all or at least most come to expect of her- except one, the most important one. Who is the most overrated in Mzansi? She settled for that diplomatic no comment nonsense. See, that’s why hip hop eMzansi ain’t interesting coz yall don’t air these wack mofos out, Nthabi…LOL!

Says Spino on this jam, “The song ‘Power’ is generally based on the helplessness of Africans to improve their lot, even with all the freedom we got. The same applies to the blacks in the US who now will have a president that looks like them, but cant really do much for them cause the real POWER is with the people that own the means of production – and these people are rarely African.”

This came with a disclaimer from Ill-Poetic saying they made this track before he found out about the blog this jam shares a name with. We believe you Po.
Week 7 & 8. What, you though it was over?

And we were told to tell you this verbatim: “The timing of this release of Korianda freestyles, unreleased goodies and other rare treats (compiled by his number one fan DJ BlaQ T) makes little sense on a number of fronts. Firstly, as the clutch of joints uploaded on his MySpace page suggest, Korianda Izajah has moved on to considerably harsher dancehall terrain; a zone more commonplace with the extended Chronic Clan’s repertoire than with Fifth Floor’s 2005 album Attention to Detail. Secondly, BlaQt has been sitting on this material since 2006, flashing it like a hobo rocking a trench coat on his blog and elsewhere in cyberspace.

In HHH’s own words, ‘…, we present to you 5 years (2004-2008) of Cap City lyrical and musical ingenuity crammed into 60 minutes by none other than super producer/ DJ Trompie for your listening pleasure. For those who’ve been with us since day one, we’d like to say thank you for your continued support and if you’re just getting introduced, welcome, where have you been? Uh oh, and be sure to play it in numerical order (from track 1-30) for maximum satisfaction. Happy Holidays! Relax, but don’t sleep coz we guarantee that 2009 is going to be even crazier!’
If three quarters of the artists on that label weren’t muslim, we’d say this is an early Christamas gift. Well there you have it!
Tracklist and download link after the jump.
We still owe you one track from the 13 Week Marathon from last week so take these two and see us in the morning next week.

Now this jam right hurr n!@@a, this shit right hurr n!@@a, this shit!
They’ve been compared to Outkast but their Washington DC’s own. On this jam former Rawkus signees, Panacea, collaborate with one of the most slept on MC’s from across the Atlantic, SA’s own, Maliq, over K-Murdock’s signature spacey beats. The result is nothing less than magic.
A Mind On A Ship Through Time out now.
This was due last week actually so also expect this weeks installment later in the week.

OK that’s it, we declare today officially Cap City Day! Put together by Ba4za MC/beatmaker, AQ, this mix miracurously fell into our lap and we thought we’d do the socialist thing and share. Apparently it’s pretty old and has been floating around the streets for a good year or two. Still well worth a spin though. Hit the jump for the tracklist.

Exclusive sh*t. This right here is the first joint in a 13 week marathon, as Mr. Lesolang calls it himself, leading up to the release of Pens & Swords which as you should already know has been pushed back by the folks at HHH to 2009. Let’s go.

‘We’re like dem kaapstad kasi flats/ coz losing your teeth from these punchlines is maaklik’
Straight heat. LOL @ the outro. This jam right here is taken from The Reasoning due November 21.
Just as the doctor ordered- back to back unreleased heat from the Mahlangu brothers. Recorded in 2006, Maliq drops another banger over another beat from one of his Seattle connections, this time Jake One’s protege, Vitamin D. And the Killa M cut, well, it just proves once again that the boy’s not just Maliq’s little brother is he now? When is the solo coming though?

You’ve probably heard him on radio as Katz but didnt know it was the same cat that goes as Bassalisk so we pulled this out of the archives to remind you why Ba4za featured him on The Bruthahood LP.
Mediafire Download Link | Bassalisk - Money
Lifted off Trompie’s den too, who produced two cuts on this. Bloem, stand up! Isn’t it too early to have an album called Internal Affairs considering Pharoah Monch’s Rawkus debut titled the same dropped only a decade ago?
Hit the jump for tracklist.
Durban native, Zenith, laid down some pretty impressive lyrics on the beats Detroit native, Black Milk, put out on the internet a few weeks back. The result is Zenith’s own version of ‘Music from the Color Purple’ free for download- just how we like it. Props to Rishaad Khan for the link. The artwork is a bit dodgy actually but don’t be fooled the music more than makes up for it so do what you have to.
Street Sheet staff: This is on heavy rotation at our virtual offices right now. Act accordingly. ‘Legendz of our own Struggle’ due late 2008.

Says Trompie about this jam right here, “This was actually from an internet release on AG… so I took a stab at it whilst being bored… This will fall in my SIAMESE midnight remix mixtape”
Look just put your hands up like the kid who knew the answer coz y’all aint even ready for Poet, he’s bubbling so under right now, we don’t even have a photo of him. Rumours that he’s signing to HHH, cant’t confirm right now but keep your ear to the street.
