Not sure what you've been exposed to in terms of hip hop. For starters:
>
> Lateef & Lyrics Born-Latryx The Album
> Blackalicious-Nia
> Jurassic 5-Quality Control
> Common Sense-Resurrection
> Common-Like Water For Chocolate
> The Roots-Do You Want More?!!!?!?!
> The Roots-Things Fall Apart

Hawai'i and plays him quite a bit. His name is Mike Ladd, and he's been on
a number of compilations so do a few searches and you'll sure to find them,
or the full album he also has out.
