im trying to broaden my rap music catalogue. if you could reccomend 5 uk artists who would it be?

Tough one...

Most Americans like S.A.S, Masai is feeling Dot Rotten, Ghetto/Ghetts and Kano who are more what we call "Grime" which is a 180bpm tempo as opposed to a more 90bpm "hiphop" one, personally I like Kyza and Klashnekoff.

There's a few to start at least.

double post

appreciated, gon start listening now

trying to get away from the bullshit over here

There's a lot of bullshit here too, usually feel odd tracks by people rather than albums, as with most artists, I could have made the obligatory "Jehst, Rhyme Asylum, Loki" post every UK hiphop thread has but I tried to give you some I know other foreigners feel, there's more chance of you liking those somewhat...

S.A.S. is Strong Arm Steady, sir. Phil Da Agony is going to have to go across the pond to kick some British ass, it sounds like.

S.A.S from here are Mega and Mayhem, they have Nicki Minaj on their new joint, Coming To America II...

if you want raw bars then my top 5 would be


chester p / taskforce
jam baxter
jehst
life mc / phi life cypher
kyza smirnoff

no order. ill be watchin all these next weekend at the boom bap festival

gow tryna catch a migraine

i will b viewing ur brain ct later tonght @ the lab

@Lars

is Mike Streets still popular over there ?

Whens lennox lewis gonna drop an album

S.a.s dope i been listen there shit since they were on dipset

lmao I've no idea who that is... My best guess is you mean Mike Skinner from The Streets?

Either way, the answers a no, bruh...

I love Jehst and Chester P live, but they're not the best to try to try introducing those across the pond to...

Glad Kyza made your list though!

That's what I'm saying, I tried to give him some names I know heads already feeling out there. Masai is Australian so I don't know how credible you rate his music tastes, but I threw in some he liked for the lulz too :-)

lmao its dropping the day after you win an SC, I heard?

ya thats who i meant. just about the only british hip hop artist i know of. some people over here liked his music

A few years ago I listened to a few Loki tracks...kinda liked them.

Yeah?

He/They had more of a commercial sound, scored a number one record over here at one point, so I can definately see it.

They're not really my thing though, certainly not one of the first names I'd give out when thinking of UK hiphop.

I actually really like the Ty album "Upwards" if any of you are interested in checking it out. Without meaning any discredit to him, the guy reminds me of Roots Manuva, they were label mates and Roots features on the album too. It's probably quite old now, I love the vibe he has though throughout the whole thing.

@Lucos you heard it?

Confused as to what sc is ... but shit hugh laurie makes dope music why can't lennox
