Noname Gypsy-Hold Me Up

The only reason I found out about this song is because Chance posted about it on his Twitter because Noname Gypsy is also from Chicago and was in one of his songs. I heard this song and began to look into some of her stuff and recommend you to do. Noname gypsy is definitely one of the stronger rappers of the scarce amount female MC's.

True 2 Life Music-We Go


True 2 Life Music is a Brooklyn rap group that I honestly don't know much about, but their mixtape Black Gods Never Die was unexpectedly impressive.

B.o.B.-So So

B.o.B. gets a lot of crap in the rap game, including a death threat from Tyler, the Creator. I don't think he's an elite rapper just because he's not the best lyricist, but he lost a lot of respect when he started making pop songs with Hayley Williams. This summer, I checked out his mixtapes No Genre and B.o.B. Vs Bobby Ray and for the most part I wasn't too impressed. However, there was one song that stood out thanks to Jim Jonsin's producing.

Mickey Factz-Paradise

The Bronx rapper probably reached his peak when he appeared in XXL's Freshman class of 2009, but he's got some good music.

Despot

Despot is a Queens rapper who has gained fame from his collaborations with El-P, but has hardly released any music of his own. He has yet to release an mixtape and there is currently no estimated date for the album drop. It's pretty pointless to even post this since there really isn't much Despot music to find, but he's an interesting MC to follow.

The Underachievers-The Proclamation

The Underachievers are a rap group from Flatbush, Brooklyn who hit mainstream success with their incredible mixtape, Indigioism. The Entreproducers also contribute to the project with their slow, mellow beats. The Underachievers have proven themselves to be one of the frontrunners in the Beast Coast movement as Dash and AK work more dynamically together than any other rap duo right now.

Run The Jewels

Run The Jewels are a rap duo made up of Killer Mike and El-P and together they released the 2nd best mixtape of the year (Acid Rap GOAT). It's not the strongest lyrically and the it's only half an hour, but El-P's beats and both of the rappers flows make the album what it is.
