Burnt Offerings - Blue Scholars
Moonlight - Cyne
The Gates - Cunninlynguists
Winters Going - Buck 65
Watching Water - Alias

A lot of DJ Shadow stuff has similar beats to Hip-hop but sans the lyrics, but so so good, some good songs are

- Hindsight
- What Does Your Soul Look Like pt. 2 (Well, basically all of Pre-emptive Strike)
- Napalm Brain/Scatter Brain
- Blood on the Motorway
