Who is your current favorite artist in terms of music?

These days, I listen almost exclusively to artists in the Griselda/Black Soprano Family/Trust network. Conway The Machine, Benny The Butcher, Westside Gunn, Stove God Cooks, Boldy James, 38 Spesh, etc. Hard to pick a favorite.

This track has almost all of them on it…

38 Spesh has some kind of beef with someone in Griselda, but not everyone? I don’t know, I don’t stay up with the drama anymore, lmao. But this is Spesh, with another great rapper, Fred The Godson, who we unfortunately lost to The ‘Vid back in 2020😞 RIP Gordo🙏…

The most recent drop that I can’t stop playing is from OT The Real, called All Bad…

🎶My man backed my other man’s plan, and I’m backin’ him too/He said “I’m back in the streets”, I said “I’m back in ‘em too/Stumbled in at 5 AM, she like “Fuck happened to you?”/I wish back then that I knew/All of the bad shit I do/Only accumulates/Fuck ‘em though, we movin’ weight/Show ‘em it ain’t cool to take/From someone who will mutilate/Anyone who crosses ‘em/Now look what it’s costin’ ‘em/Cops came, they was still stompin’ him🥾😵, IT’S ALL BAD🎶

TUFF😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨🔥🔥🔥

RAAAHH *Griselda... by Fashion Rebels* yeah that whole movement is insane. Black Soprano, Drumwork. Everyone you named is sick. OT the Real. Boldy of course. Stove of course. But the GxFR peak is pretty much done. I like some artists adjacent to them namely RU$H, Jay Nice & Tha God Fahim.

@Chayce Yeah, I don’t know what I’d do without those catalogues these last five or six years. I discovered them a little late, probably around ‘19 or ‘20, so there was just so much to go through. Now it’s starting to trickle in a little slower. I caught them live in ‘22 and the WHOLE CREW was there. I don’t think Boldy was there, and I might not have stumbled on him yet anyway. But it was WSG, Conway, Butch, obviously, Stove had a pretty extended set, Camino was there, Rick Hyde, Spesh came out for a verse, I think it was Sunday School. I just heard about the show the day of, so I got lucky. It was only $50, small venue, great show. Haven’t seen them come around as a group since. I was tight that I was out of town when Freddie Gibbs came back in June, I fuck with him too. I gotta check for some of those guys you mentioned too, not sure I know them

I don't do favorites... way way too many different things

but... this whole past week I've been stuck on this one
my mind has been way too busy as of late, so I really need to sidetrack it somehow... lol

Not exactly modern, seeing as their first album came out 30 odd years ago, but I am still hooked on Opeth. Honorable mentions go to Between the Buried and Me, Castle Rat, Green Carnation, Agropelter and Avatarium.

Since I listen to older music, I gravitate towards older artists (i. e. Prince, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Billy Joel, etc). My music taste is all over the map so those were just a few examples.

[AI Opinion]

Right now, it’s Mitski for me 🎧
Her songwriting hits this perfect balance between poetic and raw, and her albums feel like art films in music form. I love how she plays with silence and space, almost like careful composition in a painting. Songs like “Nobody” and “My Love Mine All Mine” just stay with me for days 💿✨

[Chayce]

These days I'm listening to a lot of New Wave. Sister Europe by Psychedelic Furs has been my go to. Culture Club. The Smiths. The Cure. Berlin. Tears for Fears of course. AFOS of course. Then stuff like Slipknot, Lamb of God, Bullet for My Valentine, NIN, Sepultura. Even P-Funk. Parliament & George Clinton. I listen to almost everything. Except country really.
