This might help everyone. Check out www.pandora.com. Good music site.
I was once sent a link to a site that represented each artisit like a Venn diagram - showing all interrealtionships between bands and genres.
You'd search for Dj Shadow, and close to that would be Blackalicious, J5, Gift of Gab etc etc but upto 3 generations away which as you clicked wider from would take focus and expand your range of artists to browse.
Was an excellent site as it had almost everything on there, just wish I could remember the url. Anyone here familiar with it?
As for Rag's original question. Someone mentioned G Love - would recommend him for sure.
For somethings that are slightly different check out Si Hayden or Trio Gitano (both playing some excellent modern flamenco type guitar) and Soweto Kinch's new album is a fusion of Jazz / Hip-hop played out as a story told with characters which is getting good reviews (as yet I've not heard so could be a risk).

Shadow, Blackalicious and J5 are all damn good too.
Originally posted by EsotericI saw G Love about 10 years ago - was an excellent gig, although back then I was more into drinking than listening properly!

Saw J5 last night - excellent show, Dj Numark was on fire.
