15.03.11 20/20 HipHop Live!

Pete Cannon out-charismas everybody in the UK. The producer (and sometime rapper) loves his synths, loves his beer and loves talking shit. We think he's the man, and he not only swung by for a quick chat but also dropped us a very cool track he produced with some NY cats. It's fresh.

01.03.11 20/20 HipHop Live!

Welcome to Atlanta. The home of reasonable living costs, relaxed nightlife and fun times. At least, according to J.Nolan, a 20/20 favourite and longtime resident. One can almost see him conducting his interview with 20/20 while wearing slippers and reclining in his favourite armchair. His new jazzy joint Round (as well as A Quick Chat) is on the episode, and you'd be mad to miss it.
