2 - 3pm

Ice T
Influential US rapper Ice T talks about his documentary The Art of Rap, featuring Kanye West, Snoop, Eminem, KRS-One, Doug E Fresh, Melle Mel and many more. Listen to the interview with Ice T on BBC World Service program The Strand here.

Michael Kiwanuka
A Londoner born to Ugandan parents, Michael Kiwanuka is blessed with a uniquely soulful voice and authentic songwriting skills. His timeless sounding debut album Home Again is attracting a global audience, with the BBC naming him as the winner of their 'Sound of 2012' poll. Michael Kiwanuka pops by for chat and performs a few songs live in the Music 101 studio.

Nas
Much like Marvin Gaye's Here, My Dear, an emotionally raw record that reflected on the late soul musician's first marriage to Anna Gordy, New York hip hop stalwart Nas has turned his attention to his much-publicised divorce from R'n'B singer Kelis on his new album Life is Good. The notoriously private artist talks about opening up his private life on album number ten.

Introducing: Randa

3 - 4pm

Pacific Arts Festival
A sample of the sounds on offer at this year's Pacific Arts Festival in the Solomon Islands last week, and a chat with Hiliako Iaheto of Dunedin band Koile, one of the bands which represented Aotearoa.

Keep on Truckin'
'Truck Drivin' Man', 'The Truck Song', 'Will There Be Big Rigs in Heaven', - Ever wondered what songs fuel truck drivers on long-haul journeys as they guide their big rigs along New Zealand's highways and byways?
