[british hip-hop]

There is some phenomenally cool hip-hop coming out of the UK these days. Lady Sovereign is my most recent discovery (via Sticker Shock), and it was also from Sticker Shock’s Sasha Frere-Jones that I learned about M.I.A., who’s originally from Sri Lanka. And let’s not forget the standbys, The Streets and Dizzee Rascal. Quite a scene indeed!
