i'm from London so i doubt i'll be trekin up there but i'll watch out for those names.......... what other uk hip hop u into?

I listen to US underground hip hop mostly. "Funky Dialect" are close friends of mine and i want to help promote their night so that fellow hip hop lovers can see what they do. Wiganers tend to overlook what they do coz they aren't into hip-hop and this kind of annoys me. DJ Flipnast is my older brother and he intends to go far. As his younger brother and hip hop lover, I want to help him do it. Are there any UK hip hop artist you could recommend me listening to?

yeah def check out phi life cypher their new album is called 'higher forces' the're quality! its got skillzon it , think he's from new york too. its quite hard to find though. it sold out same day it came out in Reading, i got last copy! you can get it off soul seek though.
'Task force' are really popular too but i'm not so much in to them. they're talented but not as good as phi life.
'scratch perverts' are cool. u should get 'plus ones' newish album its half uk hip hop and half uk jungle.
black twang ya prop heard of. they're ok, good live

just outta interest you heard of Edan, he's from phili. no-ones ever heard of him and u said ya into underground UShip hop....................... he's amazin emmcee check his album 'primitive plus' out. got any reccomendations for me? what kinda music ya bro play? my boyfriend dj's too but he's more into east coast stuff whereas i prefer more laid back west coast like j5, ugly ducklin, people under the stairs....................

I've heard ov Edan, "Fast rap"? I'm well into "People under the stairs". Ilove their latest album, even though i have totally forgotten what its called, but still..... Its some ill shit!

Bec check out Del The Funky Homosapien, Souls of Mischief, Heiroglyphics, Dilated Peoples.

Hip-hop in Wigan isn't very big ... but it is pretty good for music for such a small town. I know baa pretty well, but I'd take the Bowling Green or Lux anyday!

I agree baa isn't that big, but it serves the purpose. I think of it as a mear stepping stone for Hip hop in Wigan. I hope that they will move onto bigger thinks and aim for larger crowds.

By the way, its on tonight! starts at 9:30 pm, its either on the bottom floor or on the top floor. Hey, Just blaze, i listen to a lot of souls of mischief, my favourite tunes are "Thats when your lost" and "93 till infinity".... they is bad ass tunez. Bec, my bro plays all round hip hop like J5, afu ra, wu-tang clan, biggy, Big L and gangstarr... plus more. He can scratch like a demon! he still can get better but he sounds pretty damn good now!

Hope to see a large crowd of hip hop heads tonight! remember the place, remember the time! All are welcome!
