David Banner is A Mississippi Swag that has 3 or 4 good songs from his '03 album. Singer Skylar Keeton (Sky) was recorded in Atlanta. This particular single leans more pop/mainstream compared to the rest of the album.

Mississippi and Cadillac on 22s are a couple of favorite.



Mississippi Delta

Big Wax- from the west coast great lyrics and has pretty catchy/feel good songs.

Palmer Squares- Two kids from Chicago they have some of the best lyrics/rhyme schemes ive ever heard. downfall to these guys is they have no real direction/substance in the song.

Flight Distance- My buddy got me on this Canadian hip hop group and I got their album which in my opinion was great. lyrical content,flow delivery and had some interesting songs/topics

[Islanderz]

Well the recent hip hop which I heard of and would like to recommend to all other hip hop fans is ‘Around The Block’ by Pretty Lights.

Nelly St. Louie - YouTube

I bought this album. I was 11.

Just started really getting into Itch, rapper from the UK. Definitely not the stereotypical rap artist, has kind of a punk feel (esp in his new song with the singer of Taking Back Sunday called "Homeless Romantic")
