Instrumental Hip Hop (Synth-Based)

Can somebody please recommend me some good Instrumental Hip Hop that isnt Jazz oriented?

I prefer hiphop beats with synths, but there seems to be a lack of it.

I've already got "DJ Shadow" and "Dr. Octagon - Instrumentalyst".

any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Try to find...
Company Flow - "Little Johnny From the Hospital" album. Not sure if it's available from itunes or anything like that. It came out around 2000, independent, underground, instrumental album.

I only mentioned shadow so that nobody would.

He seems to get mentioned alot when I ask about instrumental hiphop.

I wouldn't consider Ratatat to be hip hop.

close enough, especially their remixes of ghostface, dizzee rascal, and jay-z.

but yeah, they aren't necessarily hip hop
