Hip Hop in non 4/4 time signatures. Does it exist ?

Hip Hop is traditionally 4/4 time for obvious reasons, but im wondering if there are any good examples of mcs/producers writing hip hop in different time signatures. There are probably some examples of 6/8 being used as it's probably the next most suitable time signature for hip hop but outside of that i cant say i've ever encountered other time signatures being used in 30 odd years of listening to the genre.

Hi r/hiphopheads -- longtime occasional reader, first time poster. Figured this would be of interest for the community, sorry if the self-promo is annoying. Thanks!

it seems that the list of the source five mic albums, which has been circulating online for years, needs to be expanded from 45 to 46: “edutainment” by bdp was simply forgotten at some point.
