Listen to Broken Wings.
Two things I immediately loved about that song. 1) the piano is my favorite instrument. I believe the instrument is perfect for beats and brings out the beauty of rap that is often lost with other instruments. 2) The cello in the background was also a subtle touch that i loved. My sister is a very talented cellist, and I grew up to really appreciate the sound. I think my foundation to music began with classical and dramatically expanded when I found rap.

His raps have a similar underground tone i've heard from atmosphere. but I love the story telling aspect to it as well..

That song is siick and i'll definately be listening to it plenty.. any other gems?

If you are looking for rap like that
try
Nas - Doo rags (trust me)
outkast - 13th Floor/Growing old


I think you'll enjoy it as well
