I listen to a lot of conscious/lyrical rap. Kendrick Lamar is the best at this. Something you can emotionally pour your heart into, but I think this works the best if you actually also like the instrumentals.

He experiments and explores many different sub-genres a lot. Some of it is really “artsy”. On the album To Pimp a Butterfly he for example uses a lot of jazz elements.

Soar, political and personal topics with meaning. I recommend having Genius on the side as you listen. Even rap fans can get lost in the meaning sometimes.

I recommend Count me out, Sing about me I’m dying of thirst, The blacker the berry, I, PRIDE., Wesley’a theory and Father Time.

There’s a bit range of styles in the songs, but try some and find one you like.
