I’ll start with Saul Williams. I found out about him because he opened for NiN. He was great. I thought he was going to break through when I heard him in a Nike commerical, but nope his social conscious rap didn’t catch on.
What people or groups do you think should be more popular? Also name/link some songs.
No man is an island, but I often feel alone, so I find peace through…ooohhmmmm…

De Staat, it’s a really creative experimental rock band from The Netherlands. Bubble Gum is my favorite, but also check out the Vinticious Versions album which contains their songs in vintage style. They also have a talent for powerful album outros. The Inevitable End and Luther always give me goosebumps
He’s great. I first heard him on a Ninja Tune compilation. I got to see him in a 100 seater doing a poetry night. All snaps!
Car seat headrest. Their songwriting and music choices blend together into something timeless and un-explainable. They’re my favourite band.
The Pretty Reckless. I have become obsessed with Taylor Momsen’s voice. There’s something about it I feel is like a once in a generation quality.
Janelle Monae has had some genius and beautiful sci fi going through all their music, as well as supreme bops, yet is absolutely nowhere near the pop queen she should be
