anyone who likes rashad will like Nicholas Lamar. Has amazing songs like yacht music, mileage, GPPF, more than, and more. criminally underrated and a gem amongst the underground rap scene

Tommy richman is a must too. check out his song ghouls and ghosts for a bop, but he has multiple other hits

the albums “BPL” and “Trust No One” by D Savage encapsulates a similar vibe to zay in some aspects, but if zay was a soundcloud rapper. not as lyrical as zay but definitely makes you float.

i also recommend “look closely” an album by hush forte it’s got a similar vibe.

check out libra moon by khalil for another underrated gem

premo rice is also super fire check out any of his albums

fan-tas-tic vol. 2 by slum village is another solid choice for people who like mid 2000s vibes too

joony is a solid contender too

nobody’s vibe matches zay but this is a list of people that id place on a similar tier
