In 1999 Esau Mwamwaya moved to London, England has until recently run a second-hand furniture store in Clapton, East London, UK.
Esau's shop was on the same street as Radioclit's old studio, and after the Radioclit boys bought a bike from Esau they invited him to one of their house warming parties. They made friends and started working on music together. Two years later and the project has gotten its name: The Very Best.

We don't choose
The ghetto, makes a king of
And still loves You
The ghetto, makes a king of
And still loves You

Here are the lyrics in english-from a sympathetic white man in The STL...
Don't tell Me You
don't see people suffering
When You walk around the ghetto
But they wish They were like You
Kids wear ragged clothes in the ghetto
The same clothes You just threw away
But They still wish They were like You
I'll report You
Damnit I'll report You
Koyokoyo I'll report You
Mama mama I'll report You
Aunt Koyoliza I'll report You
Dadadada I'll report You
Mamamama I'll report You
To dadadada to mamamama
To mamama
Work is done, end of the day
Only thing We eat is what You're throwing away
We don't choose
The ghetto, makes a king of
And still loves You
Don't You know ghetto
Children's education
Is paid for little but little
Small job by small job, hustle to hustle
They really wish They were like You
Even though You eat Your rice
And throw the leftovers at Them
They still love You
They really wish They were like You
Work is done, end of the day
Only thing We eat is what
You're throwing away
We don'
