1. Hip-Hop Duo (UK)
The Planets are Ayman Raze aka Forever Bin Rhymin & Nomadic Poet aka Rapastani.
In this vast ocean of MCs and artists you may ask the obvious question: “What separates The Planets from the competition?”
Firstly, well over a decade ago Nomadic Poet and Ayman Raze birthed a style which was to become a blueprint for many. Both being born orthodox Muslims, The Planets were able to successfully fuse their unique rhyming abilities with their spirituality, in a way that had seldom been seen before.
By focusing on making good music and edutaining (educational entertainment), they were able to break through religious and racial barriers, gaining wide mainstream acceptance in the process. Don’t get it confused as the group say themselves, “We create art, we don’t make religious rap. We merely incorporate our experiences and beliefs and put it in rhyme form”.
Whereas most religious rappers often come off as preachy or focus on the message without paying attention to the music, The Planets create masterpieces that can be appreciated by all. The dynamic duo are products of their environment, both growing up in inner city London and witnessing the usual drama of what goes on there first hand.

Does anyone else want to spike up their hair and run around with oversized swords when listening to Contradanza, or is it just me?

A One Minute Silence: Suggested reading http://archives.cnn.com/2002/SHOWBIZ/Music/09/23/uk.silence/ Batt: Mine is a much better silent piece. I have been able to say in one minute what Cage could only say in four minutes and 33 seconds.

Grassland Theme and Contradanza are beautifully done contrasting pieces, seemingly almost tailor-made to fit my mood.
