The song that Big3 posted, while not bad, was just too pop-y for me. Too many artists have experimented with the same sounds and influences before, and it's just nothing new or innovative. Having said that, there are a few artists who really only came into their own in the 00's that I continually follow and really enjoy.
DL incognito (started 1998, this song from 2008 album)
YouTube - DL Incognito - Out Of The Box
Zion I (started first album in 2000)
YouTube - Zion I -"Fingerpaint"
YouTube - Zion I-Mind Blow
EDIT: youtube videos don't work when I try to embed them (I think because of the ban here). I don't have a little box to check in the advanced mode, what SHOULD be the "wrap youtube tags" box is just a question mark for me, and typing them out myself doesn't work either. |
That DL incognito song sounds pretty good! I'll have to check out some more.
I own one album by Zion I that's a collaboration they did with the Grouch. It's decent but I wasn't really blown away by it. Some of it, unfortunately, indulges in some of the worst aspects of pop-rap. Is there any other album by them that you'd recommend?
