"whereas the UK rap tends to be its own style which is "Garage". "

are you serious??? first off... the garage/so solid crew era died time ago, and evolved into grime music... and secondly UK hip hop is different to garage... the thing is with our scene... most of it doesnt want to be attatched with crews/people like roll deep because it doesnt represent what our scene and culture is really like... if you want real UK MC's then like one mic said... fuck ya roll deep e.t.c... peep harry love, klash, kyza(or tracks by terrafirma spittin as a crew rather than solo joint), out da ville, poisonous poets(reveal, lowkey e.t.c), jehst, yungun, lewis parker, rodney p, braintax, roots manuva, genesis elijah, foriegn beggars, taskforce, mystro, doc brown, phi life cypher, moorish delta 7, manage, syanyde, conflix, blade, black twang, hoodz underground... man the list is endless
