So who is young and making smart ("conscious") hip-hop right now? Like, who is the modern equivalent of Talib Kweli, Mos Def, and that crowd? (If that's even a reasonable question)
@alisynthesis Happy to see this thread - I have recently been looking for some artists myself 🤩
Promoe is one I've found a few months back, a rapper from Sweden

Also worth checking the hip hop group Looptroop Rockers who Promoe is a part of (if you liked it)
I've also been re-listening to a lot of Akala recently

Edit: I missed the "young" part! Sorry 😅
@hejchristian I think the consensus around here is "we're old and so are cool hip-hop people" so bring on the old heads! 🤣
Can't wait to check all this out.
