In all earnestness, in light of OG Maco's suicide attempt, I wanted to say that Fckemx3 had the exact fuck the world energy I needed in high school to get through the betrayal and ostracisation I dealt with.
Forever grateful to him for that.
Hope he recovers fully and finds what he was missing 🙏

I’ve loved this song ever since I heard it on Tony Hawk’s Underground 2 as a kid and was pretending to be a radio DJ playing San Andreas hearing Critical Beatdown.
It’s so classic yet sounds so clean and remains cool unlike some songs of this generation that haven’t aged so gracefully. #RapSky

I've been going through all the singles on RYM labelled as Drumless and found this really cool Brazilian track with 4 sick MCs spitting the craziest militant feminist bars! Check it out

Interdimensional is how I'd describe Swerve... by Shabazz Palaces.
An acid trip with friends is how it feels, the music just communicates primordial truth to me without knowing all the lyrics even. They sit in the music perfectly. Bittersweet like looking at galaxies in the night sky.

I go back to Flying Lotus' 2013 mixtape Duality, released under the moniker Captain Murphy, often.
Honestly creating an entire world with beats and skits in a style only upped by Madlib - who is credited on one.
Somewhat amateurish rhymes but full of entertaining character.

Rocks FOE made my favourite songs by any UK rapper.
His 2015 EP Legion is legendary and his 2017 LP Fight the Good? Fight proves his versatility—from dark bars of demonology and witchcraft to knights, holy wars, and real-life romance with intricate flows and clever wordplay.

Tribe, the new Duke Deuce & Made Men Mafia album goes so hard.
Familiar with Duke Deuce but Dugga G and Turnt LilThadd hold their own. Thadd's voice is crazy and Dugga got bars! "Monday Night serving RAW"
Not surprised often by hype rap but this really did. Like hearing Waka for the first time.

This Slaughter Rico freestyle from 2RawForTheStreets is still so legendary.
Immaculate flow, great chorus even though it's a freestyle, every verse is distinct and Rico's energy is off the charts.
I recall seeing people speculate whether he was high, weird to me but goes to show how hard he went.

Diverse is/was a Chicago rapper among the likes of Mos Def, Vast Aire, RJD2, Madlib.
Though only one full 2003 LP is available his talents stay with me. His track Certified is a display of technique I haven't seen since. Multisyllables and angular schemes for the ages. Shame he hasn't made more.

Long Run by Fly Union captures the late-night, early-morning haze and malaise of modern life with its intoxicated beat and clever lyrics - thoroughly covering the subject of dreams and sleeping in all it entails. Almost every lyric feels like it comes from myself in some way. I miss this sound.

Obviously the lyrics are shallow and ridiculous but it can be so cathartic to get residual teenage angst out.

Full Nelson's a standout for me

Hip-Hop in the loosest 'Drumless' sense - Cafe Tom Tom, Cities Aviv's newest project delivers atmosphere in spades.
With clipping and other audio debris Aviv keeps his loops from stagnating while keeping you in their morose swampland.
What differentiates ambience? Effect and effectiveness.

The Wiki song 3 Stories, with evocative production from Kaytranada remains one of the best storytelling rap songs I've ever heard.
Not for characters, plot, morals or inflated self importance like some others, but because it really places you in Wik's shoes and paints a vivid picture of NY life.

The new BigXthaPlug album is a really fun listen with unique samples, tailored instrumentation, swaggy flows, and motivational bars. His voice is built to rap, crazy that he's just 26.
Just a shame he's been hit with the 2 minute song virus.
Change Me a standout on the album for me. Check it out.

Holy shit this new Kenny Segal song is crazy good and I've never heard K-The-I??? or Jesse The Tree before.
The beat is such a unique stylistic choice for a rap song, the synths have such personality and the mix is so cozy.
Then K-The-I's word choice is so bubbly. He's like a nerdy E40, it's great

Billy Woods' latest feature on the Shabaka song Timepieces is hauntingly beautiful. I love his off-kilter flow and unmistakable writing.
The instrumentation fits his voice perfectly and gives a really specific feeling to such an interesting subject matter.

The new Maxo Kream album Personification is brutal and honest, yet self-admittedly hypocritical.
At times I felt disgusted by the anecdotes told and at times felt sorry for the people involved.
It's not the first visceral street rap album but it's one that struck me. Check it out.
