Immortal Tech is awesome. Back in the day Holocaust/Warcloud was the most brutal emcee ever. To me his earlier work to this day is unmatched.

If you ever heard the first Bobby Digital album, he's on that track ''Holocaust''. The first verse. He killed that song so bad that the track was named after him lol. He's not for everyone though. He spits some crazy stuff lol. His past work is way better than his current stuff.
 
How about Cage I know not everyone here is a fan, he switched his style up dramactically. Ive been following him since Movies for the blind. A few of my favs

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5-yzznA5fY

YouTube - Cage - Suicidal Failure

YouTube - Cage - Blood Boy "Uncensored"

this is where things got weird but its cool to hear something diff ( my favorite song off his new album, its a radio song id say)

and lastly a bit of strange info..from the Transformer movies..Shia lebeouff is a huge Cage fan and wants to make a movie about his life and he wants to play cage...

On the UK scene, anyone that can post up some grime songs and those bit. Not hip hop, but got hip hop/rap influence, but it does keep bits of the uk scene in it. Also a really good genre, if I dont find people jumping in with those. I will just post some as I find it. :)

Yeah Rah Digga and Bahamadia, two of my favorite female emcees. Haven't really heard anything about/from them in years but theres this one song from Kweli and Bahamadia that is a classic, coming off one of those rawkus compilations that came out in the 90s.
 
OFWGKTA - I don't dare post any videos here but do a YouTube search for them, crazy bunch of young kids about to take over. Earl has to be the standout guy of the bunch.
