Hip hop is one of my main things to listen to nowadays

If you want some lesser known (but getting there) people these are my favorite at the moment

She has crazy inventive bars and I just really like her flow

These guys are bit more alternative, they throw more than just hip hop in. So good though. My go to hype song at the moment. And they're seriously blowing up which is great.

And this trio have been around for a few years but they just released a new album this year, and it's quite great.

Pretty particular with rap, I like a lot of 90s stuff, Eminem, Kendrick, it's a really a case by case basis all-things considered.

Do you only like old Eminem rap? I never got the complaints about his newer stuff, some of it's not great but overall I still find songs to love on all of his more recent albums. Even Relapse had quite a few gems.
---

Yeah, I like all of Eminem's albums! My favorite Em album is actually Recovery.
---

Nice, Space Bound is one of my favorite Em songs. I couldn't possibly choose a favorite album.

Although his newest Bad Meets Evil album is definitely up there

Sweet, some new Alice in Chains

Parkway Drive has a new album, it's pretty good. I like their first 4 albums more because they've gone for a more arena metal sound the past few albums, which isn't up my alley as much as their old metalcore but I think you guys would dig it. This is probably the standout from the new album.

TL;DR - Some nifty arena metal recommendation

Also new BABYMETAL with a sick video that probably ties into their upcoming graphic novel.

Hi. Um, Im just wondering, have you got any kind of like sort of punky electronica kind of grime, kind of like new-wave grime, but kind of maybe like more broken beats, like kind of dubby broken beats, but a little bit kind of soulful, but kind of drum-and-bassy, but kind of more broken drum-and-bass, like kind of broken beats like break beat kind of broken drum-and-bass, kind of Do you know what I mean? No?

I haven't even heard of some of those songs. I'll have to track 'em down. Top 5 for me so far would be

Holy Mountains
Soldier Side
Atwa
Deer Dance
Prison Song

Still have a lot more to listen to. I've been slacking lately with the new music.

I've been so obsessed with this song

I've been on a real CCR and REM kick of late. Two bands I used to listen to as a kid due to my parents being fond of them that I've only really gotten back into recently
---

You have any favorite tracks by those bands? I've always loved Losing My Religion.

That's a great song, although I can't tell if it actually has anything to do with Hitchhiker's Guide.

Also I mentioned Twista before, but this here is probably(?) the smartest rap I've ever heard.

In both cases I'm kind of deliberately going with some less known stuff since I figure pretty much everyone is already familiar with songs like Orange Crush, Driver 8 and It's the End of the World as We Know It, or Bad Moon Rising and Have You Ever Seen the Rain?

Really diggin' this song by A Day To Remember

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4yawisNuf8" data-time="
---

Ah yea, one of their more chill songs. My favorite album from them is their second but it's not like the song you posted. But I like all their stuff, dope band.
---

I'll give their second album a try, I tend to like their more chill stuff though. I've always loved their track "If It Means A Lot To You"

And last night on a whim I chose to listen to this one

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQmpjFmB9yg" data-time="

Now I know where that DISRESPECT YOUR SURROUNDINGS meme comes from lmao
---

Been listening some old Peppers of late

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0kbxQSwqJ0" data-time="
---

It's always weird to me that I helped host a free Day to Remember concert in 2009 just before they became big.

I only knew them for their 'Since You Been Gone' cover at the time though lol, which of course they played that night.
---

oh hey yea I first discovered them through that cover when they had commercials for it on Fuse and MTV2 back in like....2008? Maybe it was 2009 as well.

Now they have their own festival! Well basically, Self Help Fest that they established.
---

Oh wow, there are actually videos of a few songs on youtube.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oPTkfnqYWs" data-time="

Shame they didn't pan the camera to the back of the place during this song or would have seen myself. (Another video does but I ain't standing there in that one)
---

Would you guys be able to direct me to the rest of their more chill songs?
---

alright I'll try to break it down by album

First album, And Their Name Was Treason....doesn't have any sorry. Fun ass album though.

Second album, For Those Who Have Heart:

The Price We Pay

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vYQYOEOC9A" data-time="

Monument (I'd say this one isn't QUITE chill but it's still more so than their other stuff, plus I just really like the song)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRG54c8mrxE" data-time="

Third album, Homesick

Have Faith In Me (sort of same spot as Monument, not exactly chill chill but relatively so)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WMmCtkhWi0" data-time="

If It Means A Lot To You (I feel like you'll dig this one the most, it's one of their most popular still I think)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6sYFUTDiT4" data-time="

Fourth album, What Separates Me From You....honestly also not really anything super chill. They do have a lot of mid-tempo, like more pop punk sort of things that don't have the metalcore leanings but not sure if you want those)

Fifth album, Common Courtesy (This is the album that has the song you initially liked from them)

I'm Already Gone

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egukdbH2olk" data-time="

I Surrender

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBlRQX9D0ZE" data-time="

Sixth album and most current, Bad Vibrations

Forgive and Forget

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zS_y_whKcc" data-time="
---

So yea they have a bunch of mid-tempo songs that you might really dig but I tried to keep it to the most chill ones for now

Top 5 Songs From Your Favorite Band (Or One Of Your Favorite Bands)

God fuckin' damn what I wouldn't give to see System of a Down in concert. As they are now (uhh which isn't much sadly) would be great, but it'd be even better to go back in time and see their prime. Just need a time machine.

system of a down is cool.
