Like Lupe?

You heard Little Simz album that came out this year? Lot of orchestral instrumentation

some combination of adult contemporary over trap beats, like ballads that have more of a slower build to its peak

I think that goes against the elements of trap tho

Obongjayar
Sault

Hmm I guess I was more so thinking Down on my Luck or I know there’s gonna be good times by Jaime XX and thug

like imagine carti spazzing over a repetitive or progressive house beat with some nasty drums

Yeah, one of my favorite from the year

Just rapping over samples/loops with no drums

jay elec and mach hommy

i know

it needs to be more widespread

whatever jai paul was doing with his leaked album

🌌🤘🏾

New New Jack Swing

I was going to say trap dums over boom bap samples

imagine knxwledge or dilla making trap beats

@disneyfrozen You might like A.R. Kane, they are touted as the first shoegaze group and had some soul undertones.

Pop trap rappers over actual interesting beats is enough for me

I wish there were more post-punk and hip hop mixtures, there were a few acts in NY with the no wave scene, but it's like really outdated disco rap mixed with dissonant post punk guitars and it doesn't really sound good. Lil Peep flipped a few post-punk guitars on his eps before he died and it sounded pretty cool.

Need boy band revival too

Reminds me that we need more goth-tinged R&B like Spooky Black and Kiss Land era Weeknd
