I know nothing and wanna fix that.

sorry i only know white people whining about wokeism

Tom MacDon-ahaha I can't even finish that sorry

Danny Brown - starting with his most recent might be the best, uknowhatimsayin. His album before that, Atrocity Exhibition, is what I got into him with but it's a bit more out there. But extremely worth it. His breakout tape, XXX, definitely satisfies the interesting commentaries and stories angle and is phenomenal, but it can be a bit crude for some people.

Denzel Curry - I'd say Ta13oo is a good starting point and working forward from there. His album from last year might be a good introduction too though, and his in-between album ZUU is great for a more classic hip hop sound.

Vince Staples - probably Summertime 06 to start with, but Big Fish Theory is my favorite project from him and has amazing production and electronic influences. His two most recent albums are more somber and introspective which is really neat as well.

Pusha T - Daytona, extremely tight and concise with great production and flow. After that, pretty much any album from him works.

Little Simz - A UK rapper that definitely has everything you'd want, Grey Area to Sometimes I Might Be Introvert to No Thank You is such a run.

JID - probably my most recent favorite, his album from last year The Forever Story is legitimately world class. He's really on another level with his bars and style.

I have more but that's probably a good starting point, of course there's more obvious ones like Kendrick Lamar that go without saying but I thought I'd focus on some somewhat lesser known ones.

Ghais Guevara for the polar opposite of white people whining about wokism (black people yelling about communism)

I have a weird fascination with Illogics' album Celestial Clockwork

I really like his wordplay, you might too

Rapsody. Her album Eve is a celebration of black women and is interesting musically and lyrically. She's got a number of really clever bars.

Deltron 3030 if you're a fucking nerd
