The Rap & Hip-Hop Recommendation Thread

[Goliath59nph]

Hey, I'm a big hip hop enthusiast and I've been having trouble finding good new music. Obviously hip-hop is a massive genre, but I wouldn't mind some suggestions. If you guys could list some artists/groups you think are worth checking out that would be fantastic. I enjoy hip-hop from any time period, so feel free to recommend old school stuff too.

Here is a list of artists/groups I listen to regularly, so you know what I've heard and incase you're also looking to expand your library. There are quite a few artists in my library missing from this list, but not ones I listen to often. Thanks!
