Spoek Mathambo's "Jawns That Make My Nature Rise"

By Spoek Mathambo » Spoek gets over his James Pants fear, admits to OFWGKTA fandom and gets a boner over Devo.

These are 10 jawns that make my nature rise, as well as a couple all-time favourites.

James Pants - Sitting On The Couch, Turning Into Stone
I'm not sure how or why I've been sleeping on James Pants so hard...I think it has something to do with my wife liking him so much...I was kind of like 'Fuck James Pants!'...i get insecure sometimes. Then I randomly did some spying on him to see if he had any plots to steal my wife and landed on his soundcloud...found this MONSTER! I really hate comparisons but this sounds to me like what Tricky should sound like in 2010 whispering over smoked out beats and dope female vox...SICK!

Bad Brains - Sailin' On
Definately one of my favourite 10 songs ever

This has been a staple song in my life for a long time...never lets me down... I never bore...and because it's so bloodclot short and intense the whole way through, i will usually spend hours with it on loop...cycles and cycles.

Nothemi featuring Phuzekhemisi - Ngiyathokoza
Nothemi is a legend of South African guitar music. I absolutely love this lady for how sweet her voice is, how dope her guitar playing is and her insane style! This is South African music that just makes my head spin round and round. Phuzekhemisi features on this and he is a legend as well. Together with another dude, HhashiElimhlope they formed a super group of guitarists in this style.

MellowHype - Hell Featuring Frank Ocean
In the crazy, twisted, dark and evil world of OFWGKTA where rape and assbleeding are common themes, Mellowhype may seem soft/boring...but their album BlackenedWhite has really gotten to me. I think they're dope...a perfect continuation of laidback California rap. Mad skills, flavour, and funk. This is my favourite song on there...I listened to this throughout my Xmas holiday in snowy Sweden.

DJ Zinhle - Pepe - RootsSouth African comedian David Kau acts the damn fool in this video, I love it!
I've known DJ Zinhle as being one of the biggest house DJs in my hometown Johannesburg, as well as having started a DJ school exclusively for girls... what I didn't know is that she is producing such badass down and dirty township tech! Love it.

Mashup Internation and Gnucci Banana - Animal (Miike Snow Cover)
This is another family affair...in the biggest sense, this is my wife's soca cover of "Animal"...I always looove hearing her go IN with the rhymes. This song actually gets everyone sweaty and buck in the cluuuub...

Devo - Satisfaction
Definately one of my favourite 10 songs ever
I was tempted to start this one by saying 'fuck The Rolling Stones', but the fact that this one is so much better than the original is besides the point...or maybe it's exactly the point, that the groove got 2 decades to stew in people's mind before Devo came forward. This is so goddamn funky...the word funky is a bit gross...but jesus, this is like 'blue cheese in a sock make your face ugly' funky...the rhythm section is just merking this one. Dude on the vocals also destroys...I have a boner.

GTO (Cerebral Vortex x Raziek) - Killer (Sam Tiba Remix)It's a family affair!! This is a remix of a song by my bro and partner in rhyme Shamon Cassette aka Cerebral Vortex...remixed by my homey Sam Tiba. Sam thugs the hell out of the beat...the snippet of girl singing...the rhymes...bonkers.

William Devaugn - Be Thankful For What You Got
Definately one of my favourite 10 songs ever
I love how this song plays both the humble 'be thankful' and humble whiles be broke card, whiles also promoting that pimped out 'diamond in the back, sun rooftop, digging the scene with a gangsta lean'...TV ANTENNA IN THE BACK! I'm simultaneously trying to get over how broke I am when listening to this, whiles scheming on how to get those goddamn gangster white wall...and a car to put them on.

Blaqstarr - Go Get My Gun (Carli Remix)'YOU KEEP ON FUCKING AROUND, I'M GON' GO GET MY GUN'
My wife and I always thought he was saying, 'You keep on fucking around, don't wanna be my girl'...when we realised it was a murder ballad of sorts she kind of likes it less...i like it more now.
