WWO - Jeszcze będzie czas (POLAND)

Classic tune from Poland's WWO who are in my opinon one of the better Polish crews. Any song which bigs up Cannabis , Whisky and Pineapples in the chorus is worth a listen..

Jin & KT - '7/11' (HONG KONG)

This video cracks me up. Jin is released a Christmas mixtape in Hong Kong which was sold exclusively at the popular 24 hour convenience store 7/11. To promote the mixtape he recorded this viral. In the Song Jin goes back to back with fellow Cantonese Rapper 'KT' discussing their choice of purchase during a trip to 7/11.. Although its product placement gone crazy I did actually find the concept pretty cool and the song is entertaining...

Kohei Japan - 'Family' (JPN)

KOHEI JAPAN - FAMILY
Uploaded by Bustaphort. - Explore more music videos.

Not really feeling the chorus one this one but the beat is nice and the tune has a positive message. Kohei Japan is famed for using Hip Hop to explore what it is to be Japanese. He emerged at a time when many of his counterparts were trying to imitate the style of Rap coming out of America. He is important in this sense as worldwide there is stacks of shit Hip Hop where people try and force an american accent and make songs about american subjects that dont neccesarily apply to the life they live.

Mowgli - '93' (UK)

Mowgli's '93' is some of the best Hip Hop if heard out of London in a while. It reminds of some of the early Def Jux releases such as Cannibal Ox's 'The Cold Vein' / Aes Rock's 'Labor Days'. IF YOU LIKE WHAT YOU HEAR YOU CAN PICK IT UP HERE

Scrufizzer (UK) - One to Watch for 2010

Easy people. Happy new year and all that. Check out this video courtesy of SBTV. Scrufizzer / Scruface is one of the best in the next generation of Grime in my opinion, hes been about a while but I reckon we'll hear good things from him this year.
