Just to name a few Y’all don’t know who any of these nikkas are though (except Earl) so you’re probably not actively searching for them


The current underground is basically split in 2 factions. The Opium/Carti influence side is by far more popular than the Slums/Earl influence side

Went down an Apple Music rabbit hole and found these guys. I like a lot of them. Mike is super dope

They exist but the labels have zero interest in spending marketing dollars on them.

Exactly

Mavi was the headliner on Jack Harlow’s tour when he was HOT, and bro got zero press

 

[OnlyOneBoss]

Ovrkast and Demahjiae, pretty sure they both born in 98

Kast produced on Drake’s album too

I don’t even know who that is but I know who baby drill is. Dudes saying you’re not looking for them, I’m not looking for none of these little nikkas. They get paid promo on hip hop social media. They aren’t spending money on these other artists.

 

[ISO]

No.

Joey Badass and Cordae are probably the biggest.

Nah I’m agreeing with you breh. If you’re headlining the #1 artist in the world the industry SHOULD be putting money behind you but we know why they won’t put bread behind dudes like them

Oh I agree too , just adding on. It’s sad to see and 100% intentional.
