I am surprised that I haven't mentioned this man before (that's Roots Manuva up there by the way). His flows are absolutely incredible and are enriched by his accent. He creates a form of rap that is melodic and always interesting. The track "Tears" comes from his album called "Dub Come Save Me" which is a play on the name of one of his albums "Run Come Save Me". Now, I know what you are thinking: "Oh! It's the same album, but its done in dub reggae!".
You're fucking wrong. It's a rap album backed by dubstep/reggae beats. It's also fucking amazing.

Secondly, I wanted to lay something smooth on you jive turkey motherfuckers. This is a classic track by Thelonius Monk and Gerry Mulligan entitled: 'Round Midnight. In fact it's such a classic, that it's now a jazz standard. He was also one of the founders of bebop. whatup.
