Pretty much all of Griselda and the dozen or so artists under their umbrella. Billy Woods & the rest of the Backwoodz Studios group are incredibly boom-bap inspired, not to mention all the "lofi" artists rn who are pretty much just old school rap. Turn off the radio and stop listening to algorithm-created Playlists and you'll realize that there are still active artists in pretty much any subgenre of music you can think of
Also wanted to add that I keep lo-fi on at my house constantly at a low volume just to set the mood
Also there aren't only American artists, listen to artists from different countries and you'll find a lot of great stuff, some of them even rap in English. I'm biased towards the French scene myself but there's loads.
That's true. French hip hop in general is really good, Gasoline's album A Journey into Abstract Hip-Hop is one of my favorite instrumental albums of all time
Griselda is top tier boom bap👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 The Butcher Comin!
