Klashnekoff-All I Got

Although this jawn is quite sentimental and somewhat cutesy it does possess one of the iller hooks you will find on any UK rapp tape. The idealism of only owning your personal labor makes me wonder why Klashnekoff has yet to collab with the Blue Scholars and their affiliates.

M9-Lost Planet

Mo' UK rapps. This time from Jon Phonics '08 tape Half Past Calm. M9 comes off a little bit preachy and very conscious on this track, but otherwise he rips it on the mic, and this jawn is a gem overall, particularly for Jon Phonics' great ear for samples.

Kenichiro Nishihara feat. Monica Vasconcelos-Life Is Like A Samba

As you press play, you may think to yourself what is this soft shit? For that I have no retort, only that this jawn has been getting constant play and I figured some of the older gods might appreciate some mo' eclectic shit.

Rhyme Asylum-Multiplicity

Another jawn off Rhyme Asylum's '08 release State Of Lunacy. I don't know if I've mentioned it before, but this tape is perfection. The production is crisp, yet simplistic enough that it doesn't interfere with the UK rapps. The lyricism is the main selling point though, the boys of Rhyme Asylum can pack a serious verbal punch.

Foreign Beggars-On A Winter's Day

Some UK rapps fo' dat ass. You can find this solemn gem on the Foreign Beggars' Crypt Drawl EP. Not an EP that I recommend copping, but this track does make the 4-track tape worth a download. The instrumental really makes On A Winter's Day so powerful, and you have to appreciate the priceless sample equipped for this production.

G Frequency feat. Othello-Flight Ticket

I copped G Frequency's Let's Begin EP on a random tip, but after a thorough listen I've found that shit's well ill. In fact, after checking duke's Myspace page, it came as no surprise that a song entitled Flight Ticket came from Ireland. Although it sounds type strange to hear someone wax poetic about traveling for three verses, this jawn is well-produced and exhibits a great sample for the hook, and the rhimes ain't too bad either.

MC Solaar feat. Ron Carter-Un Ange En Danger

Although I'm relatively unfamiliar with MC Solaar's discography, I'm a bit puzzled why he's so poorly received in the US. Apparently, he may have employed some shady business practices when collaborating with Guru of GangStarr, but the official details are very cryptic.
In fact, MC Solaar uses a large amount of jazz in his instrumentals, which provides for a great backdrop to his soothing voice.

**I was mistaken before, it's Solar the producer that is so disliked, apologies to MC Solaar, and props to the commentor who pointed it out.

Braintax-The Grip

Some UK hip-hop fo' that ass. You can find this one on Braintax's Biro Funk.
The Grip is some darker shit, with some crazy instrument used on the loop, sounds somewhat like a sitar. And over such an instrumental, Braintax drops some historical knowledge, all empirical like and shit.

Life-Moviedrome

Found this on Life's Everyday Life. Admittedly, it's somewhat pretentious to make a pun out of your album name, but don't let that derail you. Everyday Life contains everything you could hope for from a proper bloke. In fact, Life has knowledge infinite, shit's mad impressive. On Moviedrome he drops cinematic references for 5 minutes + over some right ill production.

Jon Phonics feat. T-Bear, Sir Smurf Lil & Raggo Zulu Rebel-Remember

This fucker, Jon Phonics crafted one of the illest albums of '08 in Half Past Calm. Every instrumental is god-like in countless ways, emulating perfection in audio quality.
For Remember, JP creates a perfect platform for a hip-hop nostalgia trip...for British cats. It's right ill to hear a thick UK accent singing the chorus for Ahmad's Back In The Day. Downright untouchable.

The Herbaliser- Repetetive Loop

Although the singular article of 'the' makes THE Herbaliser seem like a one man production god. However, it's actually a two man duo that has been active for a good 15 years now. Although their music is described as hip-hop/jazz/turntablism, there is also a good dose of experimental qualities to their music.

Bocafloja feat. Hache St.- Testigo

Bocafloja is a well-respected Mexican emcee,he has more than 10 years in the game and is still going strong. Shouldn't be a surprise that he only fucks with the elite-est of instrumentals. Like this one. Just admire the flow, son.

Saïan Supa Crew-X raisons

This is the second foreign hip hop post I've done, and both jawns are in French. Sadly, I have a few gigs of dope Russian hip hop, but haven't had the time to dig deep and find some gems.
Saïan Supa Crew is a collective made up of three groups, like the Boot Camp Clik, and they have a pretty diverse sound that I normally wouldn't mess with, but X raisons is some raw dopeness.

NTM- Pass Pass le Oinj

I found this one deep in the crevices of my library. Before I get into describing the greatness of "Pass Pass The Blunt", let me provide a cutesy anecdote.
I was in Europe a month or two ago, and in the capital cities (London, Amsterdam, Paris) there are a litany of rappers who do concerts on the side of the road in an attempt to get on. It's a dog-eat-dog atmosphere like NY in the 90's, where you have to prove yourself to get a piece of the pie. Granted, there is a mainstream hip hop market anywhere, but most foreign rappers don't concern themselves by chasing mass appeal.
Back to the jawn at hand. A boom-bap type sound, mixed with a 3 6 Mafia/Lil' Wyte-esque title, and a flow that is not to be fucked with. Enjoy.
