One album I got recently is the Curse ov Dialect's - Wooden Tongues. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAn2C4xlvhA Watch the whole video since the best part comes at the end. If you like this video then you will definitly like this album. Great hip-hop from way down south (australia).

Wow. That was amazing. Thank you. Much better than Hilltop Hoods, who I still like, imo.

I think Pigeon John (Is Dating Your Sister and the Summertime Pool Party), Lyrics Born (their first album), and Saul Williams should be mentioned.
