Something new...Kristmas- Kristmas International (over S-X's "Woooooo Riddim")
Kristmas goes innnnnn over this grime riddim from the UK. Seriously, he kills it. There aren't many rappers in America that would bother to even try to rhyme over a grime track, much less do it so well. This is the third great track the SMS/UK connection has produced ("Can't Outwork Em" and "Get It" being the other two), and it is exciting as hell...
Something old...
Dizzee Rascal feat. Bun B- Where Da G's
I think Bun B is the only other US rapper I've ever actually heard rhyme over a grime beat, guesting on this Dizzee Rascal track from 2007's Maths + English (edit: the album mix includes a Pimp C verse, which I had forgotten about). He was pretty nice on that, knocking out some great double-time raps similar to what Kristmas pulls here. Dizzee returned the favor on 2007's Underground Kingz, on the track "Two Types of Bitches".
Something Extra...
Pimp C feat. Bun B and Mike Jones- "Pourin' Up"
This is just some straight up great Texas shit from UGK and Mike Jones, off of the Pimp's return album, 2006's Pimpilation. I stumbled across it yesterday and had totally forgotten what a fucking banger it was.
