Chesaches

Chester P.

Lyrical hero of mine for some time now as you may well know. I have probably force fed you some Chester P at a few points in time if you are from North America. Well North London's finest has a serious skill with words.

This is a little 8 bars I found of his on the world wide web. Hope you are feeling it.



While we are in the UK people should see this clip too. K-Lash-Nek-Off from the Terra Firma crew killing bars over some thight beatbox by Faith FX. Big!

Block Party




I found this link over at hiphopgiant.net
