Uk Hip Hop

The UK Hip Hop scene emerged in the 1980s, with many early acts paying homage to American heroes such as Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five or Afrika Bambaataa & The Soul Sonic Force, crafting Electro epics for the dance floor (examples being Broken Glass and Newtrament). These artists would imitate their heroes heavily prior to groups such as London Posse or Asher D & Daddy Freddy, who rapped in their native accents and added Ragga influences to their music, thus creating truly British, unique hip hop.
