Big Dada

A sub-label of the mighty Ninja Tune, Big Dada has taken the abstract hip hop world by storm with releases from Luke Vibert, Abstract Rude, Saul Williams, Mike Ladd, Roots Manuva, New Flesh For Old, Gamma, and The Infesticons. You won't find any hip hop pop here -- this is the real stuff.

The Infesticons
The year is 2001 and there is a war going on in New York City. On the side of good are The Infesticons (the well-meaning good guys). On the side of evil are The Majesticons (jiggy automatons intent on robbing the world of reality). Plug in to find out who wins the hip hop battle of the century.

New Flesh
New Flesh's fresh beats and tight, intelligent flows are the mainstay of Ninja Tune hip hop sub Big Dada. If you like Blackilicious, Lyrics Born, and Roots Manuva, New Flesh will tickle your fancy.

Understanding - 2002


Ty
While Ty's profound lyrics will make you nod in agreement and occasionally laugh out loud, his beats are strictly for dancing. He may even sway a few U.S. hip hop xenophobes with his tight London flows.
