Looking for "alternative" MCs...

Hey all
My music's gradually moving towards sth. like hip hop/trip hop (though some wd disagree) and now I'd like to collaborate with rappers. Problem is, I don't know much about rap/hip hop circles and so don't know where to go to propose collaborations. Anybody's got tips?
I only like "alternative" hip hop. When I say "alternative" I mean I'm interested in some UK rap (what I know of it at least) like Just Jack, The Streets, some US rappers like G. Love and Special Sauce (alt. hip hop at its best, to me), The Beastie Boys, even De La Soul... that's about it, like I said I don't know much about rap, but I know I like clever, tongue-in-cheeks MCs, who distance themselves from the usual, boring gangsta posture (although I must admit I like Snoop Dog's flow, to my shame...)
Thanks

Jaes 1 is a cool alt hip hop act I work with. But it is also an acquired taste, as it is more bizarre than alternative.
I love The Streets, as well.
