    I find most trap pretty boring. Don't get much out of listening to it (with the odd exception)

    thanks for the names so far, will check out everyone in this thread who i've not yet heard.

    K.A.A.N and Mick Jenkins are pretty great. TUT's nice if you like Isaiah Rashad they're pretty similar in a lot of ways
