agree with a lot of tunes already mentioned but i can't believe that Manchester's finest hasn't had a mention.. :$
'i'm gonna loosen my lungs take a breath and express 3/4's of your mind the tunes will possess'...

MC Tunes - quality
i was listening to the only rhyme that bites and tunes splits the atom the other day (the only 2 tracks i have on cd ) and they still sound slick today
in fact - i used to have the album on tape but lost it would appreciate a cd copy if anybody has one
