Sandy B – Amajovi Jovi
(1994, South Africa)
On this hypnotic slice of early Durban kwaito, Sandy B delivers a staccato Zulu rap with hints of G-funk swagger. At least, that’s what the sales clerk at the Voom Voom record shop told me – and it seems to be true.

Samy Essaid – مرسول الحب
This cassette was released by Disques Gam in Morocco, circa 1980.
Samy Essaid = سامي السيد in case you were wondering.

KaCee Michael – Power & Light (1986)
The Kansas City Casio genre is pretty hit or miss as a whole, and I’ve actually found the best stuff comes out of Illinois. Don’t bother trying to reach KaCee at either of those phone numbers, by the way… nowadays they’ll connect you to Wayne’s Lanes bowling alley and a man with a Mexican accent.
