Is he normal?
I'm trying to get into my fellow hip hop - tards' local scene. Please feel free to list some local rappers and emcees and if possible a youtube link or something with a song of theirs. There's a lot of unearthed talent out there...

I'll start with a few South African artists:

Proverb:





ProKid:



Hit me up then hiphop-tards!
Zubz

 
My friend Pase, the sickest rapper from the UK without question.





These are his freestyles while he's in Sweden.

Damn he's fresh. Sounds a bit like Evidence from Dilated Peoples. He's got a real nice laid back flow.
 
He really is amazing, ridiculously talented.

Please take a minute to check the three songs on his myspace page. My closer friend produced them, he's as talented when it comes to production as Pase is spitting.

CD Dropping Early 2010 !!!! on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Videos

The two of them together have made some stupidly sick shit.

I'll check it out later tonight from home Hectic. I'm at work at the moment, myspace is blocked. But this is what I'm talking about. Unearthed talent. A couple of years ago I came across this kid from Cleveland Ohio who was just 16 at the time but ridiculously sick on the mic. Mature flow and all. I got my friends hooked on him too until he kinda disappeared. But yeah, I'ma check it out for sure.

The guys I posted are more well known in SA but I just wanted 'tards to get a feel for the scene this side.
 
Stretch, I heard Proverb rapping somewhere sometime ago, he was dope.

You have any material of his?

Yeah I do have some of is music. Where about did you hear him? He really is a dope emcee, great concepts for songs and execution is nice. He just has one weakness, sometimes he's a bit Talib Kweli in delivery, trying to squeeze too many lines into a bar.

Been feeling my Proverb off late...

I have a dream that real emcees will win awards/ cats who’ve been ignored/

By the industry before/ the underdogs that are giving more/ and their living for

The bigger cause/ that our hip hop will hit abroad/ in terms of level of sales and

Rate at which it’s bought/ I have a dream of seeing an SA emcee in the source/

A HHP poster in the centerfold/ I have a dream of platinum sales minimum gold/

A tour bus with all of us/ touring across African borders/ while television

Networks record us/ I have a dream of being on stage when I perform this/

Seeing the crowd respond to metaphors not just the chorus/ I have a dream/

Of writing articles in magazines/ that’ll explain hip-hop is more than just a baggy

Jeans/ in fact it seems the whole culture is misunderstood/ they say we portray

The bad listen while I spit some good/ it’s not all about me verb/ I want all

Emcees to be heard/ and get the respect that they deserve/ I have a dream that

That I’ll spit real/ until I die or get killed/ like Jerusalem this is real

That's from the track 'I have a dream' but he really shines on Head to toe;

I’m a hip-hop head and I’m ahead of my time/ I go head to head to head with

Anybody cause like the news I bring headlines/ some are big headed/ but they

Suck like when I get head/ so I disconnect the mic so they can never go neckxt/

They give me cold shoulder/ don’t have my back like Shoulder blades/ the

Love in their heart must be trapped in the rib cage/I get sick to ma stomach

They’re absolutely wack/ they should be like me write rhymes that are abstract/

Instead they waste lines thinking they hip/ they make an ass out of themselves for

Thinking they on some shit/ don’t have the balls to bring it through, they’re rhyme

Are predictable/ cum and go like a typical little prick would do/ it’s stupid when

Dudes get/ faker than a boot leg/ they like nuns the difference is they on their

Knees to beg/ you tripping like you been ankle tapped/ you don’t have sole you

Defeated understand all that/ you probably don’t cause you so wack/ I’m gon

Leave with toe tag/ written Pro’s back
