As one of the UK’s finest emcees, it was with great excitement that we listened to Jehst’s new album, ‘The Dragon Of An Ordinary Family’, due out on his own YNR imprint on 27 June.

The good news is that it’s everything you’d expect from the man – witty, incisive and intelligent. And to celebrate the new record, he’s giving away a free track.

There’s also a launch party at Fabric this weekend that looks pretty unmissable.

In keeping with the theme of fresh UK sourced Hip Hop, it seems the perfect time to share some of these home-grown delights, such as:

ChesterP, Jehst, Kashmere, Truth, Micall Parknsun, TY, Farma
G,Asaviour, Capital R, SonnyJim, Kyza, Kelakovski, DJ IQ, LDNzoo,
ObbaSupa…

..courtesy of one of the UK’s biggest hip hop blogs.  The big dog has produced a compilation album, featuring 28 tracks- mostly British and a small seasoning of American- that they feel ‘represent the positive direction which Hip Hop is heading at the moment’.  And it’s all free.
