3000021, Anyone up on South African rap?

I've been listening heavy to a few cats, figured others may like this and just haven't been exposed to it. The two best dudes are Aka and Cassper, but K.O is nice too. Cassper's recent album features Black Thought and Goapele. I'll post some links. I'm on my phone, so give me a sec.


Aka - Congratulate

Aka - The World is Yours

Aka - Run Jozi (K.O murders this)

Aka - Sim Dope

Aka's second solo album, Levels has a few more dope tracks. These are all from it. His first album is dope too, but I feel Levels is his best work yet.

Aka - Composure (song from his 1st album dissing Cassper)

Cassper Nyovest featuring Black Thought

Cassper - Tito

These are all from Cassper's 3rd album, Thuto, which also has two songs with Goapele. This dude is bigger than Rihanna in SA, just packed 68,000 in a stadium that only U2 have filled with more. Both of these dudes still have a simmering beef with each other, which sucks cause I'd like to hear them together.
