New Music by Old Rappers

been thinking about starting this thread for a while but there's still tons of cool stuff being released by old rappers, but it seems like hip hop people just really aren't that interested in paying attention to older artists. in any case, love to see anything else people have been checking out.

Dinco D (Leaders of the New School) flowing nice over a classic Motown sample

i remember talking about Kool Keith's "Serpent" on here with some folks, that def belongs here

budo jeru, Friday, 19 September 2025 16:49 (one month ago)

i was just going to post that one song where he talks about the 1990s Seattle Supersonics the whole time lol

Honestly, Landlord is so good, I feel like he's being semi-ironic and also I kinda just don't care overall, what difference does it make?

i liked supreme clientele 2 more than i expected to. was surprised by how old school it was (older school than the original even, lots of 80s breakbeats, “my melody” sample, etc.)

new Mobb Deep is really well done, I'm surprised how much it feels like a real record. Probably the best posthumous one I can think of since Imperious Rex by Sean Price.

Kool Keith has had a ton of stuff the last few years and a lot of it’s great, he’d totally resisted the main thing that seems to be an issue as artists age where their flows seem to stop sounding like they’re tracking out new ideas and instead just kind of follow predictable paths as if the journey has been completed and they can just hang out at the destination

I hear ppl talk about new killah priest stuff a lot as well

I’m sure I have more stuff to add here

ok (D-40), Friday, 10 October 2025 15:25 (one week ago)

Killah Priest has some WIIILD records, one a year or two or go was all about birds and nature type stuff

Serpent by Kool Keith and Real Bad Man is a career highlight
