Tomorrow - Friday, December 19th - the Quietus will be publishing some of our writers/friends/bloke we fought for a pickled egg's Top Ten records/songs/things of 2008.

Because he's an industrious sort of fellow, Quietus writer, moustache cultivator, rapper and producer Akira The Don didn't merely rattle out a scree of albums between brews, no-sirr-ee - instead, he made a podcast of a look back over the year in rap for you to download, stream, or do whatsoever you wish.

The programme features choice cuts from DJ Khaled, Lil Wayne, The Game, DMX, Nas, Ill Bill and more... including Seal. Seal! And bits and pieces from the Don and pals. Download the Akira the Don end of year podcast here.

Keep peeled to Akira the Don.comfor Akira the Don's advent calendar, along with a constant stream of new music and musings.
