The Virtual World Tour is PEPR's podcast series where we talk to some of our favourite artists from around the world.
In this episode we talk to Sampa The Great who is a Zambian artist raised in Botswana, she also lived in Australia and now she is back in Zambia. She has had an amazing run recently with North American tour including Coachella, her song "Energy" in the Netflix show Ozark and new single "Lane" with a guest feature by Denzel Curry. We caught up with her after all this and days before she was going to Australia to perform two nights at the Sydney Opera House. Oh, she also was featured on the Grammy winning album by the legend of African music Angélique Kidjo.
But Sampa The Great is much more than these accolades and achievements. Her story is fascinating so join us when we catch up with her on the PEPR: The Virtual World Tour and talk about her life, art and among many other things her role in the Black renaissance of Australian Hip-Hop.

ABOUT #PEPR Hip-Hop culture and Rap music as part of it are global. For years, this has been entirely uncontroversial statement and true on all accounts. Despite the consensus on the spread of the culture, the rest of the world, outside of North America, has been often reduced into its consumers. So when people say, Hip-Hop is worldwide, what they often actually mean is that mainstream, mostly major label top 40 rap artists are listened to across the planet. That is true, but it is not the whole truth. It is actually only a very small part of it. Planet Earth Planet Rap (PEPR) is part of Chuck D’s And You Don’t Stop! radio show and RAPstation operation and its purpose is to explore and celebrate the full rap map from all continents and in whatever language it reaches us. We acknowledge the global culture and the people in it as participants, not just consumers.
PEPR is curated and hosted by Mikko Kapanen and Amkelwa Mbekeni who have years of experience from radio in different countries and continents and produced by Gia’na Garel.
