and dunno if u can count him as part of the "network" but Cities Aviv - Man Plays the Horn has been growing on me p incredible album tbh, def one of the most interesting experimental hip hop albums this year and arguably part of this "sound" too I think.

feels like most ppl in the scene took a breather this year tbh? there's been an insane amount of drops 2019-2021, now they seem to get a bit more calculated about releases
