We reflect on this year in music through the eyes and ears of ten artist / DJs who've worked in the Red Bull Studios Cape Town and their top ten tracks of the year. These are some of Youngsta's top tracks of the year. Head over to www.redbullstudios/capetown for more.

Best of 2013: Youngsta

AMANTOMBAZANE is a proudly South African song by Johannesburg based artist RIKY RICK. The record features longtime friend and collaborator OKMALUMKOOLKAT. The catchy chorus is something that OKMALUMKOOLKAT had been chanting since 2010 in studio sessions so when they decided to make this record it was a natural option for both artists. RIKY RICK produced the fusion beat himself after being inspired by early Kwaito groups. The song is a new age take on a loved but neglected sound that continues to rock South Africans everywhere. AMANTOMBAZANE is a powerful comeback release by RIKY RICK who had taken a break from music since 2011 but is back to introduce new and dynamic ways to approach African hip hop.

Amantombazane Feat. Okmalumkoolkat (2013)

Africa is a hub for some of the most out there Hip-Hop and Sibot has been a huge staple in the scene. From from doing projects with Ninja (Die Antwoord) to Spoek mathabo and others to winning the SA Battle Championships in 2002 he's done it all.  Now see's his first jeffree with is a packed release with weird but catchy futuristic beats from the beathead genius. The title track "Magnet Jam" and "No Question" sound like Q-bert's "Wave Twisters"  for a new generation, weird spacey reverse suction beats for droids and punk robots.  The final track is like a lost tune from an unheard cantina band from Star Wars, its like future funk for midget aliens that dance on the bar tops for bit coins.  This said Sibot has clearly lost his mind, these are sounds you've never heard before that make you dance in unthought of ways.

Once again back with Crosby AKA Digi Analog chanting down the wicked system on the Scared of the Dark riddim.

Pure Solid gimme di riddim 'cause me ready fi go chant dem."
