MUSIC FINDS
1) Oliver Francis - flip phone - LINK
I didn't expect 2020 would be the year I get into Soundcloud rappers as I was hatin' on them a year ago but you know, 2020 was crazy so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
The instrumental flows so well with his rap. I just can't get enough of the vibe of the track. It's really something special and I'm glad I discovered it. Fyi, I don't think it is a prerequisite to like anime to like his music. It helps to know what he's referencing to when he's spitting out anime references all the time but I honestly think anyone can enjoy his music the samples and instrumentals he uses are so easy to listen to.
2) Oliver Francis - AEOU - LINK
Abbreviated for "All Eyes On Us". Really catchy and easy to listen to tune.
3) Oliver Francis - FU2 - LINK
Really dig the chorus. Fun to listen to.
4) Oliver Francis - AAHYEAHH - LINK
His most well-received track by view count.
5) Aries - SAYONARA - Link
Aries was a breath of fresh air for me since I am extremely picky with what rap I do listen to. He was in my Youtube recommendations after my very many Oliver listens and I couldn't be happier to have found him. His recent releases have a very high production quality to them and he doesn't sound like a typical Soundcloud rapper. I know he's going to blow up in popularity even more in the near future.
6) Aries - Fool's Gold - LINK
Original fresh sound
7) Ice Cube - Ain't Got No Haters ft. Too Short - LINK
I admit I am not a fan of Ice Cube's music even though I dig his voice and know he is an established figure in the rap scene. Something about this song is very memorable and catchy and it's hard not to recommend it!
8) Kendrick Lamar - Money Trees (Feat. Jay Rock) - LINK
Admittedly not a Kendrick fan (don't hate me) but this song is too good.
9) $UICIDEBOY$ - 1000 BLUNTS
They fall under the trap genre but I'm too lazy to make another page. I listened to this song and was immediately hooked. The beat and sample are so addictive. Love the cadence in the chorus. Admittedly I don't like older stuff (I really tried to find something to like). "Sing Me a Lullaby, My Sweet Temptation" which all of these 3 songs are on was the first trap record I've listened to entirely which says a lot about the quality.
Original sounding, catchy. McDonald's menu! Southern accent lady at the end always kills me
11) $UICIDEBOY$ - IN CONSTANT SORROW
Love the angry tone for the first minute of the track. Second verse is chill but still catchy. Emo sounding
12) KREVA - Finally - LINK
One of my favourite Japanese rappers who has been in the music industry for a long time. Love the diversity in cadence in such a short track. The background instrumental/beat is perfection.
13) KREVA - タンポポ (Dandelion) feat. ZORN - LINK
So damn catchy with a memorable hook. Love ZORN's guest rap.
14) SKY-HI - Namisama feat. Boku no Lyric no Boyomi (何様 feat. ぼくのりりっくのぼうよみ) - LINK
This track is miles above anything he's ever rapped for AAA.
15) Global Dan feat. Global AzN - Dark Out - LINK
First time listening: ”i guess it’s okay” Second time listening: ”this lowkey slaps” Third time listening: ”BALENCIAGA ON ME EVERYTIME I WALK OUT!!”
This comment perfectly described my experience. Love the pitched up chorus. Emo sounding.
16) Global Dan - Poison ft. Global AzN - LINK
Catchy and melodic. AzN's vocals stand out as usual.
17) Global Dan - Toxic ft. Global Dell - LINK
He pitched his voice pretty high in this one and I'm all over it.
18) SXMPRA - COWBELL WARRIORS! feat. Ski Mask the Slump God - LINK
Probably the first phonk song I've fell in love with. Super addictive beat.
19) SXMPRA - LET'S RIDE! (Drift Phonk) - LINK
Upbeat dance beat with fiery bars. The original song that he used the sample from was generic and mediocre.
