The Rap & Hip-Hop Recommendation Thread

adub567 · 09-22-2014, 05:15 PM

I like conscious rap but find a lot to be corny or too much of a stream of consciousness format. 2 exceptions to this statement would be Watsky(kind of corny) and MF Doom(stream of consciousness), who I do like very much. Oh, and I'm not a fan of rappers that don't have a somewhat intricate rhyme scheme, despite how lyrically meaningful their songs may be(sorry Immortal Technique and Aesop, you guys are just ok in my book). I know that's a pretty strict criteria, so don't feel that you have to work completely within the lines, but who might you guys recommend for me to listen to?

Freddie Bruno - Hold Music (Full Album)

http://illect.bandcamp.com/album/hold-music CLICK ME

Quote:

Emcee. Producer. Member of hip hop groups Phonetic Composition and Deepspace5. The many hats of Freddie Bruno lay the foundation for his 2007 sophomore solo album Hold Music. Assuming greater control over the production than on his debut album, The Ballpoint Composer, Fred B shapes Hold Music into the clearest representation yet of who he is as an artist and a person.

Take a stroll through the 15 tracks of Hold Music and you’ll find both a laid-back aura and a sense of urgency as Fred B opines on the many inspirations and struggles that make up his varied life. You’ll also come across the familiar voices of Playdough, Sivion and Sintax the Terrific.

This is f*cking dope.. just stumbled on it. Love the speed and the beat is hype as f*ck but still soothing:

Athena and Orphan - I alone remix

Gotta check out Mick Jenkins! I think he could be the next thing to come out of Chicago. Sick lyrics and bad ass beats!
