    Tbh I gained an appreciation for some of my current favorite rappers today like:
    • Danny Brown: Cause of his unique style and spastic flows. Never heard anything so weird sound this catchy or good except Death Grips.
    • Open Mike Eagle: Just got into man's music and it's dope. Dark Comedy and BBKSD are in the rotation heavy.
    • MF DOOM: One of the GOATs cause of crazy lyrical ability, content, and his seamless flow is one of the things that makes him one of the best.
    • Tyler, the Creator: Always thought he was much too immature for me, but Flower Boy then turned out to be one of my favorite rap albums of 2017. Makes me want to revisit his back catalog.
    • Earl Sweatshirt: Wasn't a fan of his unenthusiastic flow and lazy delivery, but it grew on me. Dude can rap and I look forward to his new album.
    Those are the ones that come off the top of my head right now but I'm sure there's more.

    Maybe you DOOM just cliqued for you, or Pump's album won you over. Something to that affect.

    thought he was the lesser brother, but Conway has made me completely forget about Westside Gunn.
    These tracks aren't from 2017, but Conway's hole body of work has been in rotation for me.

    Not a rapper, but Japanese Breakfast finally clicked for me late into the year and I've been enamoured since.

    'Signed to the streets' is probably his most popular but I think his best is '300 days 300 nights', start with either of those

    Young Thug because he was killing all of his features and he has been for a while. Didn't care too much for his projects though.
