who are some new good to near great rappers?
 

chance the rapper piqued my interest in rap for a month or two but since then i've gone back to not liking any of it

i've given vic mensa a try but couldn't get into it

are there any you guys like at the minute?

Flatbush Zombies.
Deniro Farrar.
Caskey.
The Underachievers.
Bishop Nehru.

That's just off top.

I'm weird when it comes to rap, I don't listen to any mainstream artist really, Drake being the exception.

When people ask to look through my music to find songs to bump too in my truck (RIP) I usually have to have a disclaimer, "yeah you not about to find anything you like"

you're white

listen to rock or dub

Both trash

Tool isn't trash

Marty Party isn't trash

Suck a rap nigga's cum dribblets big guy

Gabbage

Isaiah Rashad
Jay Rock
Problem

definitely this dude Freddie Gibbs, idk if he's new but Piñata is dope af

Anything produced by dj mustard is a hit.

Iamsu and problem have a mixtape fyi

No one rapper is killing the game right now I just find hot singles.

From the more intelligent but not backpacker camp, Mick Jenkins:

From the more traditional mixtape scene, Jon Connor and Ransom:

From the underground scene, Ratking:

I have no idea how up you are on music but Ruste Juxx, Torae, Skyzoo, Elzhi, Roc Marciano, and Hopsin all have a deep and inspiring catalog.

Word Mick Jenkins old stuff is fire

Haven't listened to The Water[s] yet

Does Mick Jenkins have old stuff?

Trees & Truths and also YouTube singles

Value Village and Crossroads come to mind

OK, by old stuff you meant like 18 months old. I've heard Trees & Truths.

Bruh. What?

Download now. It is for the free. You can thank me later.

thanks for all the suggestions i will peep now

@Wise Ways rock is for weirdos and dubstep is trash. if you going down the dubstep route then deep house >>>

Wel yeah I meant like deep house trap trip hop glitch hop. Most dub is definitely a little too much. But aesop rock has a sick new album called music for earthworms. sick af my ninjj

i never listened to any aesop rock i will give him a shot bud. deep house/house is the biggest music scene right now here. i've been to tomorrowland it was on a different level idk if u know what it is bro look it up on YT

do not give aesop rock a shot.

wise ways has terrible taste itt

Lol

@El Pancake is pretty good hes up and coming & eminem

fabolous

f-a-b-ol-o=us ay

uhmmm

bb like jay-z he aite jigga wut nigga u

Idk, man. When Detour was revealed to have bit Vakill, nearly everybody on here had no idea who Vakill was despite him being from the legendary Molemen and just as popular as Chino XL. It wouldn't be a stretch to think folks wouldn't know ab Elzhi.

Love Ratking.

If you like stuff in that vein, check out Spit Gemz and Shaz Illyork.

That dude @Adonis and dead peezy been trying to hype is pretty dope...uhh @Adonis used his shit in one of the mags...

I did

ST two leddaz (who has block beatazz as producers. Simply put. The best out right now)

Willie the kid. (dude is lyrical but grimy)

Either of them or the only one I remember from way back was speak (just dropped a decent album. Cleaned vocal issues in previous mix tapes and is a lyrical juggernaut)

@Split

Jay rock go hard so I'll peep your list.

Rat kings Co sign

post his videos yo lol

I'm lazy and always on my phone
