Hip hop for those who like to pretend the past two decades never happened.

An easily-digested route into the rapper’s superhero world.

A worthy addition to The God MC’s legacy.

One for the breakdancers as well as appreciators of forward-thinking craft.

Debut album from rap troupe featuring three House of Pain members.

Constant invention and genuine humanity characterise every whirr.

He remains the finest catch of J5’s MC contingent.

Reverence for hip hop tradition meets experimental fearlessness.

The sound of an MC struggling to keep up with the pace.

Not for the faint-hearted, but you sense they won’t ever have it any other way.

Post-rock intricacies, keyboard buzzes and paint-stripping riffs are well woven.

A glorious, if rather brief, coming of age.

A multi-collaborative affair from the superstar DJ.

Nobody else relates street stories with Raekwon’s eloquence.

Allows the cerebral production to breathe and be beheld in an entirely new light.

A melee of post-punk ideas, but jammed together fairly naively.
