[steadyrighteous]

Posting so I come back to this thread.

Dont sleep on Navy Blue btw, he dropped a crazy album at the end of last year

I'm 7 tracks in right now and I fukk wit it. He's definitely talented

His music it's like billy woods mixed with Blu to me. It's only right that he has a Billy feature on the album

we kinda had a thread for this, tho it doesn't get upped anymore. but it was capturing people like yall posted in here, folks making dope music that aint necessarily topping the chart/radio/streams

https://www.thecoli.com/threads/spi...ard-by-the-masses-top-40-radio.521139/page-16

You think we should merge them both or should I just try to spice this thread up so its not too similar?

Aight bet I just have to think of a better title and take time to plan out how I'll conduct the thread moving forward



I have a few other Coli thread ideas in my notes app too

This is a revolution

This is for anyone who thinks J.I.D. is simply a watered down Kendrick. Listen to this song and watch the video all the way through



You'll see why he's special and one of the greats this generation has to offer

I'm still planning the framework of this thread going forward ( @Ya' Cousin Cleon I was inspired by what you said earlier in the thread. Thinking about naming it some variation of "The New Blog Era" but it's not final yet)

The main focus will be on exposing each other to artists pushing the culture forward and sharing quality recently released music in hip hop

A weekly spotlight will likely be in play too. Album of the week, artist of the week, song of the week, categories like that to encourage poster engagement

In the meantime here's a throwback to 10 years ago that just came on shuffle on my spotify



Dee 1 one of the hardest Christian rappers of all time

The Hip Hop Is Alive Thread




This is a space where listeners young and old can put each other on to great music and talented artists in hip hop today. Whether if it's conscious, music to smoke to, melodic, or whatever else, nothing is off limits in here

I'll post newly released songs and albums in here at least once every week. I strongly encourage everyone to do the same. Don't be afraid to post what you like and feel proves the genre is still striving

Songs of the week YouTube playlists will be posted every Sunday and songs of the month playlists will be posted at the beginning of every month for the previous month

There will be artist/song/album of the month polls with collective input from yall on who and what should be voted on. Year end polls and discussions of all the categories will be had too

This is also a place where we can have general discussion about what's going on in the culture. Trends, up and coming producers, overlooked unsigned rappers, so on and so forth

Let's keep this thread positive. You can criticize but don't overdo it while adding nothing of value. We're changing the narrative of The Booth in here, enlightening each other and spreading our love for the music

Let's open our minds and appreciate all of the artistry within the culture today

 

[A Pimp Named Slickback]

Youtube playlists will be made. I'd love to hear any other suggestions yall have in adding to this thread too. We peaking

Im contributing later on.. Good thread

i like goldlink a lot. makes a lot of party records but they have that jungle brothers vibe

Nottz set the table for Rapsody, Rah Digga, Nikki Grier, and Ke Turner to collaborate and make an excellent song in tribute to black women across the globe. It's off The Future is Female project that I assume will be releasing sometime soon


Nas and Jay came together for this DJ Khaled track Sorry Not Sorry. The song is a vibe and another reason why these legends still deserve their flowers




Alchemist dropped an EP called This Thing of Ours. 8 tracks. 4 with rappers on them and 4 without. He adds another solid offering under his belt with features from Earl Sweatshirt, Boldy James, Navy Blue, Sideshow (dope up and coming MC under Alc's wing. fun fact: he went to my high school ) Pink Siifu and Maxo






One of the overlooked rappers of the Blog Era, XV dropped a new EP called Roots. He dropped 2 other EPs in the last two weeks named Soil and Seeds. It's looking like he's back from his hiatus and here to stay



Morray, an artist who utilizes soulful melodies with conviction, dropped his Street Sermons album. I haven't heard the whole thing yet but these songs stood out from what I did hear. He's someone making major waves in the mainstream that has authentic music you can feel




Ross collabs with singer Cruel Youth for the Godfather of Harlem TV series soundtrack. The track is short but it's really good for what it is



Feel free to post other songs and projects if there's any other notable releases that came out today
