I was certain I had blogged about this before, but I seem to have missed it:
Subcarpati come from Romania, are based in Bucharest, and combine folklore and hip hop sounds in a quite original fashion. The project is by Alexe Marius Andrei aka Mc Bean (member of the Blanoz collective and singer for Suie Paparude, whose album you can download for free and who have one of the best horizontal scrolling sites I know, designed by Stefan Lucut).
I highly recommend downloading for free their entire album from their website (at "descarca albumul Subcarpati").
