Morrissey is the only standing member of the old UK guard who has yet to be reduced to preposterous self-caricature.

Drake: Take Carenew
Drake raps in a pinched, syrupy drawl, but his music strongly resembles the electronica infiltrating out of Ontario, his home province.

Roach Gigz: Bitch I'm a Playernew
Roach Gigz is a curious anomaly. The San Francisco native is a true rapper's rapper, spraying polysyllabic verses in a manner strongly reminiscent of Eminem circa "Low, Down, Dirty." Like MC Eiht or Celly Cell, he has a flair for snappy cadences. And his ability to transcend turgid subject matter with warmth and smarts recalls 2006-era Lil Wayne.
