The Rap & Hip-Hop Recommendation Thread

[shushi_boi]

Hey guys,

If I like

Fat Jon;
Fly Away, Beyond Love, Dreamers, Kissed In Shadow

Nujabes;
Modal Soul, Tsurugi no Mai, Battlecry

Illa J- DFTF

Nomak - Force for Truth

what are some song recommendations? They don't have to be instrumental, but I usually find instrumentals to be more chill.

Hey everyone, this is my first post as I just recently became familiar with rap music. I listen to a wide variety of bands from just about any other genre out there, and would love to get to know more rap artists.

the thing is, I'm looking for artists that are interesting in terms of music and have a unique sound or a really sophisticated rhythm, and not necessarily lyrical qualities. So far I really liked Abzorbr, Eminem, Kanye West, Tyler The Creator and some of P.O.S's stuff.
If it's a mixture in between rap and another genre, even better. No matter how famous the artist, you can safely assume I've never heard him before and I would love to hear the name anyway.

I apologise in advance if I violated any forum rules that I was not aware of.

I fuel myself on stuff that may or may not count as hip hop. You might like Themselves, a collab between rapper doseone and producer JEL from anticon. They've worked with a lot of great artists and both have a ton of other projects you can explore. Check their album Crownsdown or the mixtape thefreehoudini, which may still be free to download (legally) on the interwebs. Kanye once shared this video of one of their songs on his blog a few years ago. If he's a fan, you should be too. Also, welcome.



Personal favorites:

Never heard this Karmin chick before, I'm gonna check her out after hearing this track. And Watsky goes like normal, cool track.

Edit: Aww, she's not really a hiphop artist

Karmin and Watsky - No Flex Zone

Not sure whether many people here like German rap.
Still, this is a great mixtape by Hiob and Morlockk Dilemma.
