So Richy Pitch’s long awaited ‘Ye Fre Mi Richy Pitch’ offering is almost ripe to drop on the ever-reliable BBE imprint. If  you didn’t believe me when I told you the album was heat, then prepare to be converted…

To heighten our  excitement, Richy has put together a mix featuring some exclusives from the LP, joints from M3nsa’s forthcoming ‘No. 1 Mango Street’ project, M3nsa and Wanlov’s FOKN Bois excursion, some sweet West African selections from times gone by, classic treats from Madlib, Dilla and J Period and some new-school afro antics from Fulgeance and Debruit. In short, you need to hear it.

Unfortunately, Soundcloud embeds just don’t like behaving on the HH site so you can either listen and download below or make the jump to Richy’s Soundcloud here. Either way, make sure you keep the link and support the LP when it drops. Enjoy…

Dylan Sage is gonna be v. disappointed with me. He told me about this project a long time ago….and i’ve just got to writing about it now….sorry D, I got there in the end. What am I talking about? Ritchy Pitch’s forthcoming Ghana LP that’s what i’m talking about.

Most of us know Richy from the seminal ‘Scratch’ hip hop events whose previous guestlist is a literal who’s who of Hip Hop both stateside and here in Blighty. Nothing overtly African there then. So I was more than a little surprised when Dylan told me that Richy was currently mixing a long player featuring a string of collaborations with Accra’s finest inluding Wanlov the Kubulor, Reggie Rockstone, Mensah and Sena.

Peep Richy’s interview with African Music blog Museke for the full story and check these clips of a) A studio snippet of Samini voicing for a Ghana LP track and b) Richy getting down b-boy style at Scratch.
