There are some lesser known artists that do deserve some recognition.
As we know, modern Hip Hop evolved from the old Gospel melodies that arrived in the US of A from the African continent and spread as a technique of distributing not only religious messages and to build up enthusiasm or hope for work or freedom but it became also used for transmitting messages of a current kind – like news or a discussion of opinions. So, here are some few examples of amazing music that has not yet been recognized to the full amount.
Chilly Gonzales – Never Stop
This song was actually even used by Apple Inc. in a commercial for the iPod touch in Europe in a slightly customized version without lyrics but has never really made it into the charts. Although a bit more into the pop direction, this still is a cool hip hop or rap song that I think you probably like.
Freddie Gibbs – The Ghetto
Singing about naivity and his school career in a more or less abandoned or hopeless district of a city in tough economic times. Pretty close to what we are seeing today in some parts of metropolis’.
Rey Resurreccion – Trainwreck
Although his name is a bit tough to write, which I hope I got right, this song is a clear masterpiece in terms of hip hop as the rhythm is simple and the text is creative and sticks in your brain – in mine at least.
Nappy Roots – Ride
I saw this video personally once on MTVU but it was not featured anywhere else which I think should happen as this song is quite cool – a nice traveler song with equally cool lyrics.
Thanks for checking out these few artists and I hope you enjoyed it.
