The Very Best

Pretty much the most exciting thing in music right now (this is fact and undisputed) is the Malawian born Esau Mwamwaya, and his project with Radioclit, which I have learnt now has been named, The Very Best.

If you havn’t heard about Esau yet then you best read up on our WC archives, he’s pretty much the African Phil Collins and is more uplifting than suspenders.

In anticipation of The Very Best’s album which I have been hearing is set for an early 2009 release, the pair have taken the Diplo/MIA/Santogold route and compiled a for-free net only mix-tape.  

Get your mits on it here.
