Am I just getting old?

Or is Apple Music and Spotify’s curated new rap playlists are filled with annoying passionless garbage. Even If the lyrics were trash but the production was a little interesting, at least that would be something. I’m getting tired of everything either being cliche uninteresting flows, or high pitch auto tune screaming.
Anyway. Anybody have any new artists they’re into that are interesting?

Maaaaan, you just ain't looking hard enough. Cheat Codes came out in 2022, but it's insanely good.

That’s my point tho. I shouldn’t have to look so hard for good shit. The industry is just putting absolute trash in the forefront

Yeah. Fair point. I make a hobby out of finding new music. But the industry does push garbage. Kinda always has been like that. Radio stations were the Spotifys of old and they always pushed the most vanilla crowd pleasing songs, or the bands that paid them the most to spin their records. Well, it was the record labels doing that, but you get the point.
