Id like to find more that I like and idk what do other than look at similar artists.

oh Does hip hop have the same breadth as metal where I can find a list of all the subsubgenres and they sound very different? No, right?

Not sure how you would classify either. I'd be sure to have a full playlist of them if I did. Try listening to:

Sage Francis
Eyedea & Abilities
Deltron 3030 (really good one)
Busdriver (this guy is weird, but in a good way)

Indy Hip Hop is it's own genre apart from the mainstream shovel-crap Top 10 lists convince you is good (or even Hip Hop at all).

If you know of Aesop Rock, then you must have heard of Rob Sonic.

Fishbone was a great band in the 90s.

A lot of people would consider this "conscious hip-hop" or "conscious rap". You might like:

A Tribe Called Quest
Digable Planets
People Under the Stairs
Shabazz Palaces
Chimurenga Renaissance
THEESatisfaction
Immortal Technique
Kendrick Lamar

This group covers a few different subgenres of hip-hop, but the underlying connection being they all fall under the "conscious hip-hop/rap" umbrella.

Check out the album Below the Heavens by Blu and Exile. It's in the same vein as what you like and the rapper shares your name! :)

I think it's just underground hip hop. I would also recommend Aceyalone and Myka 9 who are members of Freestyle Fellowship.

Nerdcore is another related genre. I always liked MC Frontalot.

They're still a group I believe, they just take really long breaks between albums lol

Qwel is easily the most prolific of the three MCs, though

Yeah, I think the third album was their most recent release and that was years ago. I dont know if they could ever top their first though. I spoke with Qwazaar once over MySpace and he sent me a free CD because I loved their music.

I love GFE/Adam Strange, Foul-mouth Jerk, Agent 23, and Top'R too, but over the years I've made very few converts with their music. Maviss loved them though.

I like some Brother Ali, but a lot of his stuff is a little too preachy for me. I would have recommended more but most of my favorites have already been mentioned. There are a lot of good artists on Rhymesayers
