10 of my favorite current rappers, and what aspects of their music I like most: A THREAD
I’ll start this off by clarifying a couple things.
- This isn’t my top 10. Just 10 of my favorites
- I didn’t include artists like Kanye, Kendrick, Cole, etc. because they’re obvious and I wanted to include others
- This list is not in order or ranked at all

Lou From Paradise ( @paradisemadman)
Favorite Project-Painkiller Paradise
What stands out most in Lou’s rhymes is his passion. You can feel how important every line is to him, especially on PKP. Lou is a talented MC with a sharp pen game, impressive flow and an original style.

Rapsody ( @rapsody)
Favorite Project-Laila’s Wisdom
What makes Rapsody so great is her substance. Rapsody will drop sharp, slick bars while connecting a powerful message throughout. Rapsody is a top 3 female MC ever imo and can hold her own (and often outrap) just about anyone.

Conway The Machine ( @WHOISCONWAY)
Favorite Project-No One Mourns The Wicked
Conway’s music features gritty, hard hitting lyrics centered around cocaine. Conway consistently drops quality projects, and has an underrated flow as well as he has shown he can ride a beat smoothly.

Roddy Ricch ( @RoddyRicch)
Favorite Project-Please Excuse Me For Being Antisocial
Roddy is one of the most replayable artists in all of rap right now. While he’s in a crowded lane stylistically, he is able to pave his own lane and I see Roddy being around for a very long time.

What I love most about Aminé is his ability to convey his personality through every line. Aminé typically fills his songs with witty and playful lyrics. He’s able to make fun, catchy songs, as well as more introspective cuts.

Denzel’s eccentric flows and lyrics are what stand out most. He typically delivers a lot of energy on his tracks, and backs it with solid lyricism. Denzel is a very consistent artist with no real misses in his discography.

Ab-Soul ( @abdashsoul)
Favorite Project-Control System
Ab-Soul’s ability to constantly flip double and even triple entendres with his smart, intricate wordplay is very impressive. He typically has a relaxed flow, relying solely on his bars, and due to his sharp pen game, he can.
