The Rap & Hip-Hop Recommendation Thread

I'd like to request something similar to Diggy-Mo'! He has alot of great music, most of it is an upbeat Jazzy Pop/ Hiphop style mixed with Hiphop vocals or Rap; the most notable at the moment is: Heartache Jive, Voodoo Kindgom, Bakusou Yume Uta (easier to find as Soul Eater Ending #3), Juves, Unchained and Challenger. The Roots are also worth mentioning, since Diggy-Mo' takes inspiration from them! The most important thing is that this is upbeat Hiphop, with tempo or rhythm changes, without the type of beats that I find boring.

An artist with a similar style are The Gorillaz, and their lead MC Deltron from 3030 and other sources. Their album The Singles Collection 2001 - 2011 on Youtube fits what I like about them. Tomorrow Comes Today, Clint Eastwood, and 19/2000 are all amazing! I don't like their slow atmospheric stuff as much.

I would post links but I need another two posts to do so. Most of this is findable on Youtube, and I can upload anything that isn't for the most part! I really want anything similar to these guys, because I have looked everywhere for a few years and I've gotten nothing!

The lead MC from Deltron 3030 and Gorilla'z "Clint Eastwood" track is Del Tha Funky Homosapien, not sure if he fits your category but he is a legend in his own right. If you wanna check out some of his solo stuff I'd Reccomend.

- If You Must
- Dr. Bombay
- Catch A Bad One
- Mistadobalina
- Pissin' On Your Steps
- Ahonetwo, Ahonetwo

salute.

Yeah I love Del, but I was already aware that he had multiple aliases. Maybe my "Deltron from 3030 and others" was a vague way of saying that. Thanks for the suggestions but do you know of anyone else that raps like Del or Diggy-Mo'? I usually don't like Rap, but I really love these two, and haven't ever heard of anyone else that sounds like they do. Although The Roots are pretty close.

Souls of Mischief and any of the Heiroglyphics crew, A-plus especially.
