0,198 -> ROCKETING RABBIT 

company flow - funcrusher plus is the best hiphop-album i know. its produced by el-p who is now solo and runs a label called def jux. the album sounds raw, dark and minimal with syncopated beats who are mostly not sampled, the rhymes are very metaphoric, agressive and 'smokey'. DOWNLOAD IT! 

he collaborated later with alec empire and his first solo album fantastic damage is indeed also fantastic... cant wait for his second that comes out this march.

APC did release on warp, yes, their sound is less dark and raw but more complex and 'idm-ish'. the lyrics are not from this world, futuristic poetry or sumfin. they split in 2003

both el-p and apc released collaborations with jazz musicians on thirsty ear.

tes is more of a newcomer, check his lp on lex records (warps hiphop-sublabel). also very 'technoid' and fat beats.

sensational i an ex-jungle brother who has a label called wordsound.

from discogs (very good description):

In 1995, Sensational, going by the name of Torture back then, came to the attention of WordSound through Bill Laswell. It was then that he started recording his debut solo effort, "Loaded With Power", an album like no other in the annals of hip-hop. CMJ called it, "The most bold and experimental hip-hop record of the last couple of years," but even this is an understatement. The tripped-out flows, the broken beats, the lo-fi ambience all created an epic event in hip-hop that largely went unnoticed by the Puffy-worshipping masses. And to think, it was all created by one man using only a four-track, a drum machine and a turntable.

Sensational, in fact, has never been one to sample. Even though he upgraded to an 8-track for his sophomore effort, "Corner The Market", all of his sounds were original and played all the way through a track (since he didn't have any type of sequencer). He even got a real microphone this time around (instead of recording vocals through his headphones like on Loaded), wowing heads with his blunted poetry-in-motion-sickness.

and NMS (company flow-related) are also dark and raw, sampling george bush and throwing in some junglish bits. their first lp is superb.

also from discogs:

After five years of planning, NYC indie-innovator (and central member of Company Flow) Big Justoleum and Californian underground legend Orko Elohiem holed up in a rural cotton mill loft in deep South Georgia and recorded two blistering albums known as "The Nephlim Modulation Sessions". Originally envisaged as a futuristic journey into abstraction, the actions of the Bush administration began to impinge. "After two months of waking up every morning to a blitzkrieg of right wing media innuendo and the most nauseating, ridiculous sabre-rattling paranoia since the McCarthy witch hunts we had no choice but to produce this record," Jus explains.

first album is better!
