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.
