38. Pop da Brown Hornet- Lets Go To The Lap
39. Puppets Of Chaos - Tru Dat

42. Percee P - Nowhere Near Simple
43. Saukrates - Father Time
44. Reflection Eternal - Fortified Live
45. Shadez of Brooklyn - Change
46. Slum Brothers - The Sure Shot
47. Street Smartz - Metal Thangz
48. Ten Thieves - It Don't Matter
49. Siah & Yeshua Dope Ed - Visaulaz EP
50. Ugly Duckling - Fresh Mode EP
I think its implicit that this list is only meant to cover the 90s indie explosion, hence no mixCDs, DefJux or Rhymesayers or 80s classics. Whilst being by no means comprehensive (although I suppose it depends what you've heard- I'd put Rhythm Killer and Soundpieces in the list for instance but then I've only heard about 20% of the list) it forms a great shopping list I think. If anyone has any of these rarities, any chance you could upload them, and I'll do likewise if requested. Any comments on the songs listed would also be interesting, or indie compilation CDs where a few can be found. Personally I can recommend the Creators album (which shouldnt be too hard to find) and Charizma and Penaut Butter Wolf and the Fresh Mode EP.
Incidentally what happened to the indehiphop music community?
