"This post is dedicated to Hip Hop's prolific weirdos"


  

          

In the spirit of Kool Keith, right now there are a lot of under-the-radar fringe rappers cranking out dozens of projects. Who are your favorites, currently, or in the past? I'll add a couple I always check for. Not every experiment is successful, but I can always count on something interesting. I'd list Moka Only, but compared to the others I'm listing, his content might as well be Top 40.

Ten-headed Skeleton (Michael Nhat)
https://tenheadedskeleton.bandcamp.com/

Grape God
https://grapegod.bandcamp.com/music
https://timetravel444.com/music

Beans (did you know he's released like a half dozen albums in the last year or two?)
https://beansiswack.bandcamp.com/

Coin Locker Kid
2/3 of what he does is unlistenable, the other third is fantastic and makes me think he needs to be cast in some Hamilton-type theatrical rap project:

https://coinlockerkid.bandcamp.com/

Add on! Or else I'll just have to keep going.

I want to add her to the list, however I don't get the sense she is cranking out music. She has singles, but I would love to see more full lengths.



Not sure if I would put Moka Only this list... he does crank out albums... but to your point... he is fairly conservative compared to some of the artists you listed. I've been a fan of his since 2001.

He's more a case of having amassed a big body of work over a long period of time, but his stuff is very well crafted and shouldn't be as sub-sub-underground as it is. Think he works as a school teacher.

Generally, I tend to like the more recent stuff best. Some of the production on the early-mid 2000s stuff isn't my favorite.

Every release has a few songs I think sound great (I like noisy, messy rap half-songs) but most of their stuff doesn't work for me... yet. I think they'll get there.

Another case where you have to sift through it all to find the gems. Others may be more weird, but not sure if any are more prolific.

Probably not quite as prolific as he was in like 2018, but he’s still good for two or three projects a year. And has the best song titles in the game.

Puts out a few projects a year, but they're all over the place as far as labels and platforms.

But this is one place for some of his more recent stuff. Love the "To the Max" album.

but I notice it less as I spin the album more. Its up on Spotify now. I'd encourage you to spend more time with it.

Right. If it wasn't for you I wouldn't know Spote Breeze existed, and that was one of my favorite records from last year. Just spinned it the other day.

I think I stumbled on a uhuru noir video on youtube or some shit.

Experimental rap that gets downright ambient at times. He's part of a larger experimental hip hop (mostly) collective that is almost always worth checking out to me:

I wanted to hate Mr. Touchdown, but he won me over. He's got that Lil B surprisingly positive weirdo sincerity.

37. "I made a post of Lil B's "Good" songs a little while ago"

At one point Lil B was THE rapping-est dude alive

Not that he was particularly GREAT at it, he just rapped more often than anybody else.

He reminds me of Kool Keith in that Quality control is neither one's strong point.

Both have put out some music that was outright unlistenable, although Keith's Hit to Miss Ratio is WAY better.
