Also,
@sterkrazzy fantastic taste in music. Love the Language Arts Crew.
Might I suggest some Doppelgangaz:
Or, L'Orange (this particular song is instrumental) if you're in a jazzy mood:
The L'Orange song was pretty chill, I like that.
I gotta give credit to a couple friends for getting me into Doomtree and Tech N9ne and completely changing the music I listen to. For a while I was only listening to rock and eventually I was so tired of it that music was just boring to me. Once I got introduced into Doomtree and Tech N9ne though that was all I listened to for probably a solid couple years. After that I started branching out more. These days I don't listen to Tech as much. The new CDs he's been spitting out for the last 5 years or so haven't been anything I could get in to. I still listen to Doomtree though and I feel like the majority of what I listen to is because of them. There's not an artist on their label I don't like. Lazerbeak and Paper Tiger got the awesome beats, Dessa has an amazing voice, Cecil Otter, POS, and Mike Mictlan are all awesome rappers. Sims has some good stuff too, but his newer stuff has been kinda weird. There's a bunch of minnesota hip hop artists I discovered because of Doomtree though, and then after listening to those other artists I started picking up on more artists that are similar. I found Rhymesayers because of Doomtree and I still listen to a ton of Atmosphere.
The search for new artists to listen to never ends either and finding someone you really like that you've never heard before is one of the best feelings.
