Hey guys, why not post some hip hop/rap made by musicians from your country? there are always people who aren't as recognized as they should be out there so let's give em a shot! I'm from Australia and here are some
This guy comes from my province of British Columbia
Even the hardest songs dont have to contain swear words. "Tapping on my Fender like a slow car collision."
Too sick. There are also lots of people that freestyle on the streets where Im from. That inspired me to freestyle more often and its so much fun once you get better at it
I don't know of any. Actually I bought a CD from a guy on the street once and I really liked it. but I have since forgotten every detail about him or his music.
I have a real local guy who just graduated high school last year, he's actually pretty good for his age. I know the singer on the hook far better, though.
Of course, if you look at the tags on that video, you'll see that I'm from Chicago. So, Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco, Common, and Twista.
There's a few rappers from Maryland I can think of, but Substantial is the first that come to mind. He is just kills it each and every time he touches a mic. Fun fact: also has quite a decent fan base in Japan thanks to Nujabes (favorite producer of all time R.I.P.).
There are no good local rappers.. There are also no good Danish rappers or Hip Hop artists... Unless of course you're 10 and have no clue what "good" means..
I'm from Houston, which is (was?) a hip-hop hotbed of sorts, but I can't really think of any dudes from here I really liked. I'm not really into southern rappers, though, except for maybe some Ludacris or Outkast. And Outkast barely fits that label.
I'm from Toronto, and Drake is a point of contention, allot of people like him, allot of people hate him. He has made plenty of shit music lately but I think this is a pretty good track, mainly due to phonte being on the track and 9th wonder with the production, but still good I believe.
Im not really very tuned in to the underground or local rap scene so I apologize for not representing looked over artists. But I do believe this to be an overlooked song.
Don't normally listen to rap / hip hop, but been getting into Tempz after this song. Really he's grime but rap is basically dead in the UK anyway. (Sure that'll get me a load of flak.)
Check out his channel, he's got good stuff but is forced to spam other videos comments to get more subs. He has skill but lives in a part of Canada where hip hop isn't that popular.
Well I live in Minnesota so there's Rhymesayers Entertainment and they're probably my favorite rap record label they have people like Atmosphere and Brother Ali
Slaine is one of the better local rappers from Boston. It pains me to see the guy struggle to even get a single record out while college rappers like Mac Miller continue to sell. The market just doesn't want hardcore, lyrical hip-hop anymore I guess...
@jorojoserojas: How is it that OutKast barely fits that label? They're first album is called SouthenPlayalistic. If you listen to any of there albums pre-Stankonia its about as southern as it gets. What makes Outkast great is that they brought a southern perspective to hip hop at a time when there really wasn't one. Kast is a foundation of southern hiphop, not a "barely southern".
There is no rap or hip hop in the UK tbh, it's all bellends MCing over bad dance beats and 'HEVY BASSLINES DAWG'.
There is this guy though.
Holy fuck.
Him basing a 'rap' focussed around a line from a 1979 Sister Sledge track is more hilarious than you posting a video of a mentally handicapped gentleman. No rap in UK? Pffft.
@AlexW00d "There is no rap or hip hop in the UK tbh", you're missing out. Lowkey was already posted in the thread, The Streets were exceptional and although he may fall into your "bellends MCing over bad dance beats" category Scroobius Pip, with or without dan le sac, is producing some good stuff.
