Artist: Evil Eddie 

Album: Welcome to Flavour Country 

Label: Self-released 

Genre: Hip hop, rock 

Comments: There's certainly a novelty factor to Welcome to Flavour Country, the debut album from the Australian MC Evil Eddie. Part of that is brought on by the artist himself; take a look at this press photo. Yet when Eddie gets serious, his rhymes take on a British rap flare--think Dizzee Rascal, in particular. But for better of for worse (um, for worse), several of the songs on the album veer into rap-rock.

When Eddie sticks with hip hop, he shows a lot of potential. Start with tracks 6, 2, 7 and 3.
