Recommend some chilled Hip Hop, like these....

[anonymous-user]

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

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

[Robb F]

Seriously worth a listen

Gang starr - Ex girl to the next

clicky

[Don1]

Little Shawn - Dom Perignon

Wasn't expecting so many responses, and so many great tunes.

Thanks for all the suggestions so far, working my through them
