Always good to stumble across a new female that can actually rap without having to go the Minaj/Lil’ Kim route. Spotted Gavlyn on Nova Rockafeller’s twitter feed, and she’s good. Don’t know where she’s from, but I like what she does. You can check out more music on her bandcamp page HERE.

An entertaining video here which popped up in my in tray this afternoon. I don’t know anything about ESH the Monolith, and can’t claim to have ever heard the name before, but send me a video with half naked tattooed chicks in the bath and you’re half way to getting it posted. The track ain’t bad either. Produced by DOX.

Here’s another one of those videos that ends up in my inbox that I might have easily passed by, but as I had a few minutes, I threw it on the viewer. Its actually pretty good. I don’t know anything about the rhymer Chuuwee, but this track has got a slick jazzy style to it complimented by his laid back drawl. Some good flows in there as well. See what you think.

Chuuwee’s previous efforts were hybrid sub-genres he created such as “neo-boombap” (neo-soul meets boom-bap) or “hooliganarism” which Chuuwee describes as Treach of Naughty By Nature meets Wakka Flakka Flame
Don’t know anything about this dude, but this track popped up in the inbox last night and it hit the right buttons. Raashad Ahmad’s laid back stream of consciousness style fits perfectly over Headnodic’s sega master system style plinky bleeps and boom bap drums. Taken from Headnodic’s LP Red Line Radio.

My homie Mikko over in Helsinki just sent me over the link to this video. Noah Kin is a 17 year old emcee from Finland. Reminded me a little of Rizzle a few years back. Two dope yet different tracks. Wait for the beat switch up at around the two minute mark.

Ouch. Now this is more like it. Spotted this over at JTTS, and glad I did. Never heard of this kid before, but he’s got some sick flows on this one, and throws a few darts in the direction of Tyler the Creator. Well, when I say a few darts, I mean he goes in hard at him. Dude seems to have a sense of humour as well, which is lacking in a lot of emcees these days. I like this a lot. Check it out and let me know what you think…

Right, this is another US emcee who I know practically nothing about, but I have seen his name floating about on various sites. Got a video through from his promotion team this evening, and thought I’d give it a check. And its pretty good. Slightly hipster, but hey, its 2011. Check it out and let me know what you think…

PS – His latest release, Wolf in Cheap Clothing is out now on a free download tip. I can’t tell you what its like yet, as I haven’t checked it, but I think thats gonna be tomorrow’s work.
Don’t know anything about these guys other than they’re from New Zealand, but this video and track is straight up dope. Definitely a crew I’m gonna be doing some research into. Check it out and let me know what you think…

Here’s a dope new free to download EP from Marink, a producer affiliated with the Brown Bag Allstars. Been meaning to pop this up for a few days. Some crazy nice beats up on here. Learn yourself about someone new, peoples. I have.
