Massive Attack - MA have been creating original, current and groundbreaking music since the late 80's. Always breaking new ground while sounding fresh, they have changed the British musical landscape forever. As well as their music, they have been politically active and supported many worthwhile causes so when they agreed to do the score for 'In Prison..' we were over the moon.
The Roots - "From the
illest part of the western hemisphere" Philly born and raised, this live Hip
Hop band have almost single handedly created a new sound for that city.
Mos Def
- Brooklyn's finest. Mos has been creating great Hip Hop for years, laced
with political verse.
Snoop Dogg

came through with two crackers. Cheers Snoop

the death penalty. He sang a song and told us some tales in New York.

Can't
Stop Won't Stop - If you want to know the history of Hip Hop and it's

mixtape. He spoke to us in Berkeley (Interview Section)
