Your Old Droog
could've sworn Droog made the cut in one of the last couple of classes. apparently i was wrong. total oversight on XXL's part because I can't think of a rapper more deserving of the buzz that he's still getting to this day. while he came up on the back of sounding like that Nas-era of NY hip-hop, his ear for great production has allowed him to branch out into his own territory and define himself with a unique sound. a real embodiment of old school meets new school, Droog was fairly prolific in 2017 releasing (imo) his best solo record so far in
Packs and a very strong collaborative effort with RATKING's Wiki.
Strange U
if you're a Doom fan, check him out. that's all i've got.
Joyner Lucas
alright. here's where i admit i was wrong. a few years ago i first heard of Joyner Lucas, it was through his song Ross Capicchioni, a conceptual masterpiece that very quickly went viral due to the spectacular true story and brilliant first person video that accompanied it. after that, however, I felt Joyner failed to wow me again. it was like he said, "alright there, i'm a good rapper" and resorted back to relying on gimmicks like simply rapping fast or relying on his production. however, after finally getting around listening to his latest record
508-507-2209, i'll say,
I was wrong. everything i thought the guy was capable of, he puts onto this record. i'm just going to let the songs do the rest of the talking.
