eksman is an mc with a more rap style. did a track with zinc called "drive by car" on bingo records.

you need to get hold of some live sets, as you said its quite difficult to get decent mc stuff on a purchasable format. breakbeat.co.uk have a massive live catalogue that is all streamed. look for eksman, tali, dynamite mc, and then the really obvious one - skibbadee

oh yer, "in the mode" by roni size has got TONS of rapping on it. method man does a track. in fact this is my best recommendation.

edit: how could i forget adam f? "drum and bass warfare" is dnb remixes of a load of hip-hop tracks he did with ll cool j, beanie man, redman, MOP, pharoahe monch.....if you can get the 2 disc version, the second disc is mixed by craze, and its just sick. i wish i had even a little bit of crazes turntable skills.

the roni size and adam f albums are both a few years old now.
