Ballerstatus.net- “You may have never heard of Project Move but they are what hip-hop, the rap aspect of the culture, is all about — tight lyrics over dope beats. Hailing from Boston, Project Move is Anonymous, Pruitt, Raheem Jamaal and Moe Pope. Their album, Love Gone Wrong/The Butterfly Theory is a wonderful deviation from the monotony.”
Aurgasm-Funky sample heaven. C-Mon and Kypski is a Dutch group that throw together incredible constructions of samples and break beats into some very accessible and groovalicious tunes.

Artists Bio: EPMD

Rollingstones – De La Soul and Public Enemy got all the press at the time, but EPMD influenced the shape of ’90s hip-hop as much as any late-’80s artist except for N.W.A and Kool G. Rap. They were regular guys who made the hottest tracks: No elaborate concepts here, just one or two funk samples looped to death, and some imperturbably cool, deadpan rhymes on top, courtesy of Long Island guys Parrish Smith and Erick Sermon.

Artist Bio: People Under the Stairs

Wikipedia – People Under the Stairs, or PUTS, have released three albums since 1998, and have since put out a record every two years, with the exception of 2004.
