    I may have come into this discussion a bit late, but there are two very
    this-listy records peeps will want to, um, peep:

    IG Culture - Tings A Gwan
    mid 90s british hip hop with several MCs, female and male. smooth & pretty
    mellow, quite unlike IG's current production, but still damned good.

    Tek9 - Simply
    Dego from 4Hero on, again, some superbly chilled hip hop. not nearly as
    "jazzy" as 4Hero's own stuff. again, i have a hard time describing it, but
    definitely worth a listen.

    And speaking of British hip hop, has anyone heard the new full length on
    Hombre? Supposed to be a killer...

    cheers
    philip
