The Rap & Hip-Hop Recommendation Thread

Thanks! Yea the Benga track is sort of what I'm thinking in terms of the atmosphere, but the beats themselves would be a bit more hardcore. Around the same BPM, but twisted up, a little distorted, compressed and punchy.
Probably more like what I usually produce for beats, but suited for flowing to.

Ultimately I'm thinking of a mix of styles.. IDM/Dubstep/Electronica/Grunge/HipHop and even a little Indie thrown in there. All crammed into each song differently over the course of an album.
I want to write a full album, as all I've ever done is single releases of various genres since 2004 and it sucks not to have something coherent as a single entity after all that time. I really want to have an idea worked out before I go into it, so that's what the recommendation is for really.

I'll check out the other two artists as well.
If you or anyone else has anything to add that might give me some inspiration or ideas to take note of, let 'em rip.

Thanks!
