Ugly Duckling

[egomeister]

I've been listening to a couple of albums by Ugly Duckling recently, and think they're fantastic - Fun, old school hip-hop. Can anyone recommend any other artists with a similar style as I haven't heard anything with quite the same style before (except maybe The Pharcyde)

These are all great recommendations and I just love this sort of musical hip-hop.
All the DJ Format albums are great but you might want to check MC Abdominal's solo stuff too - he guests on loads of Format tunes as does Charlie Tuna from J5. Another couple to try are Buck 65 from Canada and some Brit stuff by Roots Manuva, AIM and Ray & Christian.

Great thread!

Thanks for the heads up on Buck 65 - I'll check them out. I'm been listening to Roots Manuva and AIM this week too, better go and dig some R&C out now!

I only have Run Come Save Me by Roots Manuva, whats the rest of his stuff like?
