He's got a ton of songs, like...a lot so it's sometimes discouraging depending if you got time. I watched him evolve from the days he was randomly on SpaceGhostPurrps mixtapes to whatever the wave is right now. Here's a few favorites you might mess with

^Updated it with proper links! Like I said, skim through and discover what you might like since he's pretty hit or miss imo. His album Imperial was sort of cool

My senior year of high school there was this lil Filipino kid who did a presentation on rap for our English class. He said that he doesn’t listen to trash like Lil Wayne and Drake and said everything you’d already seen on a YouTube comment bout Drake, specifically that “Drake makes songs that only simpleminded tools listen to”. Pulled out his little presentation book that had pics of his favorite albums, s--- was mostly Wu-Tang and Em album covers and the one that stood out to me was the cover of Tyler the Creator’s “Goblin”.
This is the same guy who shares “if you like me DM me and let’s see where this goes” posts on FB, only to repost the same thing hrs later with a new caption that says “haha guess nobody likes me”
Years later I still think of this kid everytime I see a post like this.

His latest EP is like 6 tracks. Would be a good intro.


Here's his latest single for an upcoming project as well.

suppose its just depends on the extent of how you categorise certain sub-genres. I dislike these boxed-in categorisations because people tend to lump very different artists under the same label (and often tend to write off that entire label, e.g. mumble rap). Sure there are similarities between Chief Keef and Future, but their music is completely different. I mean we can lump, lets say, Schoolboy Q and YG under the 'gangsta rap' umbrella, but thats also not really fair, they're completely different artists.

Genres are just convenient ways to organize music. It makes sense to do that with similarities between artists/styles rather than their differences. Of course, it all breaks down once you reach a certain level of nuance. These aren't natural laws.

I don't take them that seriously, but they are helpful when talking about the music in an analytical way. As such, they should have clear, concise criteria even if the music they apply to fit those criteria to varying degrees. You could characterize a great deal of rap music today as "trap music" but most of that is a very far cry from what that term meant 10 years ago. Still, you can point to lyrical themes and production elements both employ. It's just short hand really.
