It’s hard to keep track of all the variations of hip hop and rap out there. This collection has a distinctly European synth pop flare, with a strong nod towards old- school toasting as much as newer gangsta rap. There are also examples of smooth R&B, horroshow theatrics, and ethnic blends. The production is aimed squarely at the lo-fi set, with heavy compression, crunchy drums, and an 8-bit feel to many of the instruments.
This 2.3 gig collection takes up two slots in Elastik, featuring five folders holding well over 100 Construction Kits plus a folder each of Construction Singles and Drum/Percussion Singles. The Construction Kits range in tempo from 61 to 127 bpm, focused in the mid 80s to upper 90s. A kit typically contains 8 to 11 4-bar loops, which includes a full mix, an instrumental mix, a drum mix, and then breakdowns of the drum and instrumental parts. Having all of the components in one bank per construction kit makes it easy to perform these live.

The construction kits are plentiful and of high quality, and some even include vocals.

Hip Hop Underground is a selection of over 140 hip-hop construction kits, which are accessed using Ueberschall’s Elastik sample player. This comes in VST and RTAS formats as well as a standalone version, and will automatically timestretch the samples to fit your sequencer’s tempo. The instrumentation is great and sounds less synthetic than most other hip-hop collections. The construction kits are plentiful and of high quality, and some even include vocals.

Hip Hop Underground is a useful tool for the contemporary urban producer, especially because of the quality of the extra drum samples.

It is no secret that hip-hop producers will entertain the notion of
using drum hits within drum machines or software samplers and
Ueberschall have usefully provided a ´bouncing´ option from within
the Elastik loop player, thus opening up the content to unlimited
use. Hip Hop Underground is a useful tool for the contemporary urban
producer, especially because of the quality of the extra drum
samples. The main construction kits might not provide the necessary
chart-topping hooks, but seamless looping and playback functionality
will certainly spark some creativity. Stereo Mike

Conclusion
HipHop Underground is by far the most recent loop compilation available. The producers found the latest trends and produce unheared and fresh material. The 140+ kits are a never ending source of inspiration and thanks to the Elastik engine they can be used very felxible in any environment. Especially the selected add-on samples are a good addition the the library.
