The solo discography of Prodigy is all over the place to put it lightly. A great debut, a surprisingly good sophomore and then a stretch of albums that go from love songs to dark, philosophical work with a healthy dose of illuminati talk throughout.

At 21 years old, two rappers from Queens dropped one of the greatest albums in music history. But some forget that "The Infamous" wasn't Mobb Deep's beginning (Literally! It was their sophomore album!) and it certainly wasn't their end. So past the "capital C" Classic, what is Mobb Deep in totality?

We finish our UKBHM series for the month of October with an artist of recent memory to see how Hip-Hop and the sheer amount of genre-bleeding in the early 2010s was displayed in spectacular fashion from Tinie Tempah, who went from Underground Grime MC to the most famous UK rapper in the space of a year and kept that title until Stormzy dropped "Vossi Bop".

Yorkshire outfit Unique 3 made waves in the dawn of the 90s with a new subgenre "Bleep Techno", the first homegrown EDM subgenre in the UK. Their subsequent debut album blended not just their pioneering sound but also blended Hip-Hop to create a sound that was... Well... Unique for the time.

Happy October and happy UK Black History Month! Our first of four retrospectives this month is dedicated to two sisters that fused Hip-Hop with the burgeoning UK House/Acid House movement of the late 80s/early 90s whilst also paying homage to their Caribbean roots through the music and most notably their memorable name.

The Brooklyn-based Hip-Hop group Stetsasonic were one of the premier innovators of the 80s. At any given moment you could hear live instrumentation, sampling and beat-boxing. You could also hear elements of Jazz, R&B, Reggae & Rock. Considering their era, the creative foundations they laid is undeniable.
