I havnt been able to find much new music do to, well, being on Escapist all the time. So I decided to ask my fellow escapists for some music advice.

Who's your favorite hip-hop artist right now? Last time I checked, this guy was what's hot.

I've got 2 right now that aren't mainstream:

The first one is YONAS [http://yonasmusic.com/], a Brooklyn based guy. His website has some free singles, and his first album too for anyone interested.

And the second is Hoodie Allen [http://www.hoodieallen.com/]. His website has his first two major albums up there for free, and on his Facebook page there's his 2 EP's.

Lawwwwl:

Gang Starr / Guru gets better every time I hear him. I'm sad that I didn't know about him when he was around.

Eminem remains king, but Tech n9ne comes in a very close second. I'd also recomend getting B.o.B's mixtape "no genre" ( http://www.datpiff.com/BoB-No-Genre-mixtape.176133.html ) just to add a different artist into the mix.

 

[Limecake]

Aesop Rock (Dem Lyrics!)


Atmosphere
Jurassic 5
Binary Star
Sage Francis (Holy crap I forgot about him until you guys reminded me!)
A Tribe Called Quest

and MF Doom to name just a few


just a small selection of my favortie artists, and the songs are just a small sample of their great libraries.

 

[The Diabolical Biz]

Spoiler: Obligatory tracks from the best album of all time

On top of Nas, I like a lot of stuff that has been named here. Links:

Spoiler: Best quick flow I have ever heard.

Spoiler: Assorted old school

Spoiler: Remixes

Spoiler: Pure instrumentals.

It's pretty much my favourite genre, and this is only the briefest of glances into my love of it.

Consider this thread Biz approved!

 

[HardkorSB]

Styles of Beyond is great, too bad they broke up (still, they made a lot of good stuff):


Brother Ali does a good job as well:


Triple 7:

 

[dudycat1]

you might want to give immortal technique a listen he's fairly underground and you may not of heard of him before.


this is possible his best, and most depressing hip-hop song i have ever heard.
