Rom is joined by fellow Radio 2 presenter Sara Cox, who curates a 10 minute mixtape of hip hop love songs. Plus, music from Kriss Kross, M.O.P., Nathan Misra and MF DOOM.

This week, Romesh gets into the Valentine's spirit, calling in fellow broadcaster, DJ, author (and the other half of RomRa) - Sara Cox!

Sara puts together a ten-minute mixtape inspired by hip hop songs she loves, with picks from LL Cool J, 2Pac, Method Man and more.

Also, Rom plays tracks from Heavy D & The Boyz, Wretch 32, Fat Joe and Ja Rule.
