but didnt

Da$h & Retch

They had their own sound, were charismatic, had connections in the industry. I dont know why they fell out but its a shame they did. Retch had a bunch of legal issues and just raps over trap beats now and I dont even know wtf Da$H is up to nowadays

Camp Lo

Dash and Retch not blowing up is a legitimate tragedy

Always thought fredo could’ve been huge but obvi that cant happen now RIP

Thought Riff Raff would be bigger

Luchini was my s*** man

Keef. He went downhill after his debut

Big K.R.I.T. is probably the biggest example imo. Catchy, introspective, and his beats ALWAYS knocked.

They had like a couple million views on this and some other songs in 2013 when that was a way bigger deal than it is now

Production was kinda like a fresh twist to boombap and the lyricism was on point imo coulda been NYs new sound but their production just got worse and they stagnated dont really know why tbh

KEY!

Came itt to say this

I think Key! in a really good spot rn tbh

Man when them, Pro Era, A$AP all coming up early 2010’s

They’re both making amazing music still but yeah. It’s a shame it never panned out as Yams intended

TJ Porter is still pretty young I think so I guess theres still time I never really listened to him like that tho

I agree with you on Jay Critch an Shy glizzy. Glizzy must be good at building relationships tho cuz he always manages to get big features on his albums but they never really do numbers like that

Jazz Cartier

I still listen to em

Riff Raff seriously influenced alot of these new guys, but nobody talks about it

i dont think any of them are unsuccessful but i think they were all expected to do bigger than they did ig

honestly i had put doja cat in that category after she fizzled out post-"so high" but then she blew up which is crazy
