Listen To This
My personal afterhours favorite. highly recommended for both collectors and dancers. xx aaron Invisible City returns with the hotly anticipated reissue of Amajovi Jovi by Durbans O. G. kwaito giant, Sandy B. Originally selfreleased on cassette and a white label 12, rumour has it Sandy had to remake the tracks from memory because even he couldnt find a copy. In its original postapartheid context, Amajovi Jovi was a sign of youthful subversiveness, rebellious creativity and a neck snapping rejection to the fascist groove of a silenced nation. While the Pantsulla hustler nods to house legends like Jamie Principle and Pal Joey, its hip hop breaks and interludes show a clear affection for Snoop Doggs Doggystyle. At its slowed down tempo however, this lowfi kwaito masterpiece turns away from its American influence and looks towards Baldelli and his cosmos. Best of all are Sandys vocals deep, melodic Zulu rap, sung flippantlythe way that only a true gangster could. It now stands as one of the finest glimp
