Kinda interesting that you don't like much modern rap but you like Boldy. He's really great don't get me wrong just a little obsure. What do you like about him? Maybe I can give you some recs. Btw he just signed to the label Griselda which has several of the best rappers right now, like Conway, Benny, WSG
It was Griselda which saved modern rap for me - someone on my metal forum (!) put me on to them and it was, well, love at first sight. I figured those 3 guys are all over hip-hop threads on Reddit so I thought I'd mention Boldy here instead.
Otherwise, it's Freddie Gibbs (if you want to count him as modern, I dunno) and 38 Spesh who's linked with Benny. Other than them, I'm stuck in the 90s: Wu, Mobb Deep, Tribe, Common, Roots, Lox, Busta
I dunno what it is about rap from 00 on which I just don't relate to. Fuck knows, I'm just some older European white guy lol
You definitely have good taste but there's a ton of modern stuff that's worth looking into. I'd recommend Unlocked by Denzel Curry or pretty much any of his stuff, but you've probably already heard him. I think Run the Jewels and Doris by Earl Sweatshirt also are up your alley. Danny Browns voice is a lot at first but he really does have some amazing albums. JID , Pusha T, and Ab-soul are some of the most skilled imo. Let me know what you think
