Found this one by coincidence, and fell in love instantly. Any tracks you know that are similar? I'd love some recommendations. There could even be some hiphop producers that have a sound like this, I think?
Some of Sorrow's other work is a bit similar (like this one), but he also has a lot of grime stuff (which I at least think is grime, since it's labeled as such), which I don't enjoy that much.
A Google search on Hip Ambient brings little good results. In Last.fm I found Trentemøller under Hip Ambient artists, but it really wasn't what I was looking for.
So, any similar recommendations are welcome! Thanks in advance.
PS. Sorry for the vague topic / genre name. I don't know what else this sound is called. Hip Ambient is the genre that is given for Art Is Dead in Sorrow's SoundCloud. I think the bassline and overall atmosphere is what I'm looking for. In the end, Hip Ambient could be far from what I'm really looking for. I just don't know what this music is called.

Hmm, I listen to your youtube sound and off the top of my head I think of Flako, Take, and Super Smoky Soul.
Beats.
J Dilla and Slum Village...

I recently purchased an album on bandcamp by The Northern Lights called "Journey Through Your Mind's Eye" which is rated ambient hip hop but I haven't had a chance to listen, yet. I'll try to remember to pop back in here and let you know what I think.

You'll not get very far searching for "hip ambient" or "ambient hip-hop". Generally this sound would be referred to as simply "downtempo" or possibly trip-hop. A lot of the stuff being made in this area is a little more dubstep-influenced rhythmically than classic hip-hop breaks from a few years ago, such as that other Sorrow track you linked to.
There are literally thousands of artists making downtempo/trip-hoppy stuff, so I could fill this entire thread with Youtube links, but how do these ones fit the vibe you're after?

Oh, sorry, I thought you had typed hip hop ambient so I was imagining some smooth and sexy beats, more calming than bouncy. When I listen to your youtube, it does kind of remind me of fLako, though.

Chillstep is slightly different - it's the horrendous shit you get when brostep kids try to sound deep. There's never really been an official label for the post-Burial trend of home listening dubstep. We've always called it "atmospheric dubstep" round these parts. That whole movement ended up merging with the downtempo/trip-hop movement so you get albums that blur the lines.
