UK Rap

I only know a few of the major ones, and quality varies, there is some good stuff that iv heard through my mate who DJs but I cant remember the artist names but big names in UK are Dizzee Rascal, Plan B, Wiley, Skinnyman, Roots Manuva, Rodney P (the stuff with Dub Pistols is pretty good).

Like I said im not too knowledgeable but might be a good place to start.

Check that out, it's the herbaliser (two djs from london), quite a funky mix of hip-hop, soul, and some breaks. A lot of good Uk hip-hop on that. All the shit the guy above mentioned it sick, especially Roots Manuva. Doc Brown is really good and Klashnekoff is the man. The link if for Klashnekoff- Murda

Also check out UKhh.co.uk for a lot of good mixes and shit. The UK has quite an underrated hip-hop scene I think.
 
Iron bridge are good too. Did you hear this stuff from your friend from england? You should come over here, it's better!!!!
 
So I've spent a couple hours listening on YouTube, and so far I absolutely diggin'...

Klashnekoff

Iron Bridge

Dizzee Rascal

Doc Brown

Sick!

Yeah, he turned me on to some sick beats. The accent makes it sooo much better. I'm not going to lie.

 
Yeah, it is a sick accent. I'm American, so all the girls hear don't even know how good they sound to me!

You should try Jehst, and Braintax as well. How could I forget Sway (older stuff, he is american commercialised now). You've probably already heard of Lady Sovereign.

This is another herbaliser beat --- http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyFsqttgROg

This is about as far as my ukhh knowledge goes though unless you want, dj's in which case there may be a bit more.
 
I've been listening to 'V double O' recently. Not too bad, I found his mixtapes online somewhere. His youtube songs are shitty
 


i really liked both the Kidulthood and Adulthood soundtracks. you should chek em out, i'll post some links later if you haven't found em by then
