Just popping through a new album by Rapsody: God Gotta Afro & Gold Hoops. It sounds GOOD and feels GOOD. Can't wait to listen to this whole album.
So I guess the ladies are carrying this torch? That's cool.

@alisynthesis Happy to see this thread - I have recently been looking for some artists myself 🤩
Promoe is one I've found a few months back, a rapper from Sweden

Also worth checking the hip hop group Looptroop Rockers who Promoe is a part of (if you liked it)
I've also been re-listening to a lot of Akala recently
@hejchristian I think the consensus around here is "we're old and so are cool hip-hop people" so bring on the old heads! 🤣
Can't wait to check all this out.
@alisynthesis@io.waxandleather.com @dodecahedron@fwoof.space hip hop records I enjoyed immensely in recent months, in no particular order:
I can't say that all of these ☝️ artists are young or that they would all call what they do conscious hip hop—OME describes his music as art rap—but all are recent(ish) albums that may be what you're looking for or might lead you to it.
@alisynthesis@io.waxandleather.com I saw in the comments that you found and enjoyed Sa-Roc (who is, indeed, awesome). The seasoned emcee makes an appearance on VOICE OF THE REVOLUTION, and it's so good to hear her supporting the kids.

@alisynthesis Aesop Rock is an oldhead, but constantly releasing new music with a relentless vocabulary and turn of phrase.
@RowinSpeez I love him, I'll check out his new stuff!
@alisynthesis I was all ready to drop D.Lights on you and then I realised the album is ten years old already! 😅
@jamescooke umm this track is RIDICULOUS 
@alisynthesis Sooo sick and you can drop it into a set and people will never have heard it 😎
@jamescooke yeah this album is as good as it gets. Definitely putting this in my collection. What a fucking unique sound.

Stimulants II was the track that put them on my radar
