[MusicRecommendationFilter]I really enjoy the soundtracks to Ill Manors and Adulthood. Looking for similar dark British hip-hop.

I've kind of checked out the artists on both of those soundtracks, and some of their stuff is as dark and atmosphere-y, but not really. Looking for recommendations for that kind of British hip-hop that makes you want to put up the hood of your hoodie and walk through the streets of London.

Roots Manuva's first album on Big Dada has some great, dark bits. "Juggle Things Propa", "Clockwork and "Movements" in particular.

Kinda old school (if any UK hip hop is old school), but Blak Twang fits the bill.

Just to clarify: looking for a little more modern stuff, i.e., dubstep, grime influenced...

If "British" isn't a hard requirement, I'd recommend Immortal Technique.
