Indie Hip-Hop Recommendations

[adman29]

Hi all,

Does anyone have some newer indie Rap that's any good?

I love MF Doom & most of his work, along with Aesop, Mos Def, etc. but I've been noticing they've not put out anything recently. Any ideas based off of that?

@Crunchy Dragon this is probably more your thing.

Check out Halifax Hip Hop group the Caravan. I found their record in a dusty old shop in Dartmouth. It’s one of my fav’s. Make it smooth is such a fun track.

I'm not good with genres, but I can give a short list of rappers that I really like on request.

K.Flay (although she's taken on a more poppy sound lately.  You may find the older stuff more interesting)

Dual Core

 

Both are labeled as hip hop, but are nowhere near the same style as the artists you mentioned.

I saw them open for Mother Mother. They were OK. But Mother Mother stole the show. There was no contest. 

 

Anyways, I trust any band who plays alongside Mother Mother. They’re the gold standard as far as live shows go. Said the Whale also opened for Mother Mother. And they’re great.
