Hip-hop thread

I've not been in to Hip Hop/Rap since the late 90's early 2000's but have took a shine to OT The Real out of Philly recently but I want to know about UK Hip Hop/Rappers?
The Streets/Mike Skinner is about all I am aware of haha.

@Junglist did you know Roy Jones Jr was in the rap game back in the day? If not he is on Spotify if you fancy a listen.

Y’all must have forgot! I’m quite sure he released something fairly recently. Can’t say I’m a fan of him out of the ring as much as I am inside of it but it just shows he had too much talent.

I’m sure there is a story that before one of his fights, not 100% sure which, he was playing basketball before and after. How true that is I’ve no idea but RJJ is the only one where I think I could believe it lol

I've been listening to a lot of KRS One as of late. He released an album earlier this year which is decent. But I’m absolutely clueless and hopeless with UK Rap outside of the big names
 
Cheers chaps I'll check out KRS One and Ocean Wisdom, RJJ was very good! my missus was a fan of his.
I know Calzaghe beat RJJ at the end of his career but he is still an ATG IMO.

Man that beat takes me back! Out of Business got overplayed on my transparent bosch cd walkman hahaha

e: it popped up on my YT feed today haha

This, well the proper version, was the first ever piece of music I ever bought at 6 years old. Had the single on a cassette.

Anyway, sometimes I hate the internet but then every now and again it provides a gem like this
 
I think I’m late to it but has anyone heard Doechi ‘denial is a river’?

Instantly hooked. Nice boom bap beat but then her flow is impeccable.

Late is an understatement! Her latest mixtape Alligator Bites Never Heal just won best rap album at the grammy's and is up there for my personal AOTY.

If you enjoy that tape, her Tiny Desk concert is worth a watch too. Been around for a while but has deservedly really blown up in the last year or so.

Going to have to add the ABNH to my rotation. I listened to the Tiny Desk over the weekend and really liked it.

I don't usually find female artists that great but I'd happily bump Doechii and Little Simz to myself
 
Let God Sort 'Em Out is 10/10, zero skips. Malice continuing to outrap his brother after all these years and after taking a hiatus brings me great joy. Might start skipping Birds Don't Sing, though. His verse gets me every time.

Watch their Tiny Desk if you haven't already. It's incredible.
