Represent your local hip hop groups/MC's - Blu-ray Forum

Crim122 · 01-15-2009, 06:33 PM

As we all know, radio and top 40 hip POP is a stain on the genre and most of the good stuff is not very well known, or if it is not by a ride range of people...so here I would like you guys/gals to post hip hop groups or just MC's from your area that you think are really good...spread the word!

Little Brother they have that real golden age sound, biggest influences being A Tribe Called Quest and De La Soul...but I think they are breaking up

www.myspace.com/littlebrother

9th Wonder He began his career as the main producer for the hip hop group Little Brother, and has also worked with Mary J. Blige, Jay-Z, MURS, and Destiny's Child. He left Little Brother to pursue a solo career and he has released 2 solo albums and remixed Jay Z's - Black Album and Nas - Gods Son. www.myspace.com/9thwondermusic

L.E.G.A.C.Y. His often dark lyrics are informed by his earlier experiences in life, and he cites Rakim and Big L as influences, as well as rock musicians Jim Morrison and Kurt Cobain www.myspace.com/ihatelegacy

The Foreign Exchange is a hip hop duo consisting of Phonte from Little Brother and Dutch producer Nicolay. They formed the group without ever meeting in person, hence the name Foreign Exchange. http://www.theforeignexchangemusic.com/

The Away Team
is a hip hop duo consisting of MC Sean Boog and producer Khrysis, both of whom are members of the North Carolina rap collective the Justus League.www.myspace.com/theawayteamhoj

Jozeemo Pretty much the only local hardcore/gangsta rapper I listen to. He is the lesser of all the others but still better than anything you will hear on the radio. www.myspace.com/jozeemo

Jedi Knights circle, Maleko, Optimus Rhymes...bay area rap...these guys are good...

mikejet · 01-15-2009, 06:46 PM

i don't have any local hip hop/mc's around. it's all crappy pop and stuff. oh well. it doesn't matter as i really don't like the genre much with the exception of some old school hip hop. artists like l.l. cool j. and the beastie boys. i also like mos def and the roots, but they're not old school.

Lacit170 · 01-19-2009, 07:26 PM

BTW... little brother isnt breaking up.... 9th wonder is no longer working with them but they are still together....

as for underground artists.... check out Atmosphere.... but i mean.. what kind of rap do you guys like... i wouldnt necessarily recommend Jedi Mind Tricks to someone who was really into Talib or Common...

LOL, I know 9th left, that is OLLLDDD news. But During a May interview with hiphopgame.com, Rapper Big Pooh hinted that he and Phonte may never record another album together. "That's so far in the future. We don't know if we are even gonna do another Little Brother album at this point"

And I agree with JMT, they are decent but nothing spectacular.
