Harlem Shuffle

by Colson Whitehead (R235 on Loot.co.za) From the two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Underground Railroad and The Nickel Boys, comes Harlem Shuffle, an ingenious story of heists, shakedowns, and rip-offs set in Harlem in the 1960s.

Subconciously by Black Coffee The Grammy-nominated album from South Africa’s king of dance music, Black Coffee, deserves another listen to understand just why it earned a nomination for Best Dance Album. It is an album where he proved how much clout he has internationally, boasting collaborations with Pharrell Williams, David Guetta and Usher and South Africa’s Sun-El Musician. A solid album that will always be a Black Coffee classic.
