Hi all.

I'm not really into the usual "bh niggas and bling" hip hop that dominates at the moment, and truth be told I don't really like the "classics" like NWA etc. I'm looking for some of the more chilled stuff, hoping someone can come up with some recommendations of things like the tracks below.

Thanks in advance

Zion-I - Coastin' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrvvDnFGfjY
Lupe Fiasco - Kick, Push - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JJFRYCYPQo

Give Jurassic 5 a spin. Check out 'What's Golden' or 'Day At The Races' on Pootube.

These songs are great, although I'd class them more as R'n'B rather than hip hop, but the album is very much worth a download (it's free!) from http://the-weeknd.com

Try some of these:

TZU (Austrailia guys - Very good)
Hilltop Hoods (Austrailia again)
Planet Asia
Foreign Beggers
Blu and Exile

Not hip hop but try Natty's album 'Man Like I' as well
