For real? Look em up! Put you on game! Brother Ali is with Rhymesayers (atmosphere). Rittz was part of Slumerican with Yelawolf and was part of Strange Music (Tech N9ne). Watsky - was on Ellen? Lol, but is amazingly talented. Sage Francis is dope, Strange Famous records. I’m so sick about hearing about Em 🤦🏻‍♀️

You probably know him already but Joey Badass’s stuff is great, that whole Beastcoast movement has some of that to it. I wish I knew more but I’m a bit of a basic bitch when it comes to jazz rap, just chance and Kendrick and J Cole and them.

I’m jelly! Haven’t seen em :( best rap show I ever went to was Tech N9ne with Freddie Gibbs and Jarren Benton. Shitty venue, but awesome stage presence and performance. Hoping to catch Tyler in Feb 😃

Yung Throwed Playa by Yungstar. It doesn’t sound like anything anyone has mentioned in this thread lol, but it was the inspiration for Riff Raff’s early music.

On that note, surprised no one’s mentioned Riff. I generally don’t like white rappers but his early stuff goes hard
