Kendrick - Only project he had was KL EP
Carti - Late 2014, YUNGXANHOE made me a fan
Youngboy - 2016, at the time 38 Baby was his biggest song
Kodak - Skrilla was his biggest song at the time
Uzi - Discovered him in 2014 but became a real fan when Super Saiyan Trunks dropped
21 Savage - Been tapped in since he dropped Picky in 2014
Cudi - AKNC made me a fan
Sosa - BFTD made me fam
Odd Future - Before Yonkers, hot ass beat clap vid was the first thing I saw lmao thought it was funny and peeped the YouTube. Rest is history
Curren$y - My cousin got a 504 Boyz album for his bday and he kept talking about Curren$y the Hot Spitta (thought he was saying hospital lol). That was back in 02. Was tapped in during the YM era but wasn’t a huge fan. I listened to Life At 30,000 Feet when it was out and liked some songs. He dropped Reagan Era in Jan 08 and I’ve been a big fan since then

hip hop/ r&b artists?
Ye (the man that truly got me into hip hop when I was in like 3rd grade in 04. made me actually listen to music and expand my palette bc I remember iTunes used to do "artists playlist" before AM back in the day and Kanye's playlist was diverse af...ye actually put me onto the white stripes from his playlist no lie lmao)
Drake (ransom which is still my favorite drake & wayne verses, comback season, I'm still fly, etc.)
Cudi (downloading aknc on datpiff in like 7th grade and then hearing day n nite on heavy radio rotation)
Keem (honestly ktt put me on early af so y'all get the credit)
Rocky (seeing Live love on datpiff with barely any downloads)
Carti (awful, in abundance, etc.)
Keef (wathing videos from back from the dead in the library w the homies lol)
Frank (OF, notalgia ultra, tumblr post, etc.)
Abel (seeing HOB on datpiff with like <10,000 downloads and him being mysterious as s*** bc there weren't a lot of pictures of him)
Isaiah Rashad (before Cilvia the "welcome to the game" compilation with F*** love on it, gusto, etc.)
Kendrick (k dot youtube freestyles)
Travis (Up with Casey veggies, owl pharaoh ect.)
Tyler/OF (bastard, of tapes, the stupid youtube videos)
YG (she a model, early jerk type songs he used to make)
Thug (literally remember when the man was hated and I think people started coming around when Old English with ferg and gibbs dropped)
Probably missing a few but I specifically remember being hip to these dudes early. I'd put wayne in here but I didn't come around until tha carter and he was already in the game when it dropped
