October Spotify Playlist - Hip Hop

I'm publishing my October playlist by the skin of its teeth... better late than never ay?

This month is dedicated to hip hop. I moved to London in May 2006 and when i arrived fresh off the welsh boat i knew little-to-nothing about the genre (apart from what i'd heard on MTV or at my local cheesy club) being here has opened my ear pipes to so many wonderful artists, producers and DJs I wonder how I ever coped before.

i'm on a constant quest to find new (and old) material so get in touch if you hear anything that makes your head nod.

Here are just a few tracks i can listen to on repeat. I could have gone on forever with this list; it was so much fun to make i had to stop myself at 15 tracks. I'll definately be revisiting my top rated iTunes to create a few more hip hop favourites playlists from Spotify.

It's a damn shame that one of my all time favourite albums wasn't available on Spotify: Souls of Mischief - 93 til Infinity because this track definately would've got pride of place:
