kinda bored of seeing the same names popup although they are really fucking good. ie, dr syntax, stig of the dump, taskforce, foreighn beggars etc. all good but I'm in need of a new crew of artists. something that isn't London.

Phi Life Cypher
Dirty Diggers

Although definitely London, Blak Twang are ill nonetheless. Dettwork South East is a heavy album.

Kashmere and Braintax too.

Tommy Evans has released some good tunes.

My favourite UK Hip Hop album by a fucking country mile is this bad boy from the Bristol crew Parlour Talk......

"Padlocked Tonic"

Seriously my friend, do yourself a favour and hunt it down as it's insanely awesome.

I picked it up waaaaaaay back in the day (99 or 2000) as it was Knowledge Drum & Bass Magazine's Hip Hop release of the month if I remember rightly? Anyway they had a great and very funny review of it so it was bagged immediately.......the part of the review I remember is..... "the beats here are tougher than an elephant's scrotum!".....and they certainly are!

It amazes me actually how 99% of the UK hip Hop heads have not heard of this album, as it really does kick some major MAJOR ass.

Two other albums that are essential baggage are....

Gunshot "International Rescue"
Skitz "Countryman"

Damn, i'm ashamed to say i have never heard of parlour talk before. Even though i have read a hell of alot of bad writing on Hip Hop. Any chance you know where i can pick that up 10 years late?

parlour talk album is indeed good. got it on vinyl a few months ago for £7. god bless ebay.

if your after some stuff that not everyone has (ie- not beggars, braintax, etc..) then have a hunt on myspace/google/etc for these folks, mostly based around Leeds/West Yorkshire...

DOUBLE D DAGGER
Dont Talk To Strangers (DTTSS)
No Pretense
ELIPHINO - one of the best producers around imo
Organised Mess
Defenders of Style (DS Fam)
Verbal Contact
Alphabetix
Freyed Knot
Kidkanevil
Pat D & Lady Paradox

best album ive heard a hilw, while on the softer, loungier side of things, is Homecut - No Freedom Without Sacrifice

Pat D's new album, Soulscapes & Jazzbreaks, is good if you like Homecuts.

but def check the ppl in that list, can point you in the direction of more if like them

also worth a look: Pneumatic & Sloth and Headcount Records

Found the palour talk album on ebay, hope i can trust your taste

I haven't listening to Hip Hop much in about a year, let alone UK stuff (most of my collection i have really gone off, wondering what i was thinking).
But i have just placed the Verb T + Harry Love album on, and its better than i first thought. Dirty Diggers was a group i used to enjoy aswell.

Klashnekoff

his album was the poorest effort released on lowlife, by far. Murderous style, or something like that, was one hell of a single though!

Rodney P in London Posse is great though, one of the best old(er) groups from UK.

Good one!

It's awesome.

The following tracks are stupidly good......

Another Price To Pay

Gutted

G'mon Down

Price You Paid

Do We have A DJ 1 & 2 (Although I don't see these tracks on the cd release?)

The rest of the album is just great!

Let us know what you think once you've listened a few times......and do remember to crank that bad boy! (Hope you dig it)

Check out 'Black da Ripper - Black is beautiful' and stuff by Giggs.
Both cross over into the world of Grime and consequently don't sound like a bunch of student pussies banging on about global warming and capitalism.

Man the truth is that padlocked tonic album..

West country hiphop makes me smile.. if anyone wants a rip PM me =)

The truth indeed.

EVERYONE should own a copy of Parlour Talk's superb "Padlocked Tonic".
