Recently, I ran across an artist from the 90s called "Me Phi Me". As far as I know, there has only been one album released in 1992. It's positive hip hop, but it's also very original. It reminds me of P.M. Dawn. With rapping, singing, positive feel, and no limits. In my opinion, the verses and lyrics are not as good as P.M. Dawn. However, I think the instrumentals are better than any post-Jesus Wept albums. This is pretty timeless stuff, and maybe it can entertain some of you (especially people into the older P.M. Dawn) until the new P.M. Dawn albums come out.
You can get them cheap and listen to samples at amazon.com
