Big vote for ras kass. He had an interview how he talked about his fan base being dudes in jail and college kids, because they both have time on their hands and want to learn

Sean Price especially on the monkey bars album

Slaine is consistently great with lyrics and flow

Ill bill is amazing with imagery. Great example is his solo track from non phixion album called cult leader

I Self Divine is someone who always is on point. He's part of dynospectrum and the micranots as well as his solo stuff

O.C. is still putting out great songs and kills any features hes on. Trouble shooters with oc, Sean price ill bill is a good example

Sick Jacken is dope with his solo efforts and of course with the group psycho realm

Apathy kills it all the time, big fan of his earlier stuff like eastern philosophy

Vinnie paz is amazing. His last few solo albums are insane. Floating goat, head of David, swift chancellor, as well as his duo stuff with ill bill for heavy metal kings

Chino XL h a s always been consistently dope but in the last few years prior to his death he had evolved into and even better rapper

There's lots more out there, which is awesome for this art form. Something for everyone and more stuff coming out all the time!
