P*Nut
The Don

BMG/Cheeky

WE SAY

Listen here :Soundclip on site (Flash format) British hip hop can be - and generally is - awful. P*Nut is a British hip hop producer but he's so much better than that implies. He's from the Cheeky camp which guarantees a fresh sound, and he uses American rappers - both of whom are excellent lyrically and sonically - on both the double A sides of his first single.
