Looking for some more socially conscious hip hop artists

Looking to add to my library and asking to find out what I’ve missed. Some examples of what I’ve got as is:

Krs-one, public enemy, immortal technique, sabac red, brother Ali, etc.

Preferably the majority of the tracks have a solid message, to quote tech, β€œif you’re message ain’t shit, fuck the records you sold.

Thanks

Edit: to streamline things I’ll list what I have that hasn’t been mentioned. Akir, the coup, dead prez, Ill bill, Jedi mind tricks, lowkey, non-phixion, R.A. The rugged man, rebel Diaz and RTJ

Conscious hip hop progamming for KOCF

Hey folks, I'm developing programming for a vibrant new community rooted sound on Fern Ridge Community Radio. If you're part of the hip-hop scene in the Eugene-Springfied area, have access to a decent range of FCC compliant tracks with a conscious vibe, and would like to program for community radio, please DM me. This could be a full-fledged show, or even just a weekly 1-2 hour mix without the trouble of voice breaks. Thanks!

UK conscious hip-hop - download codes

Hey guys,

I go by Zenrei, and I recently released a new single called "Mysterious Ways" about my mum's cancer diagnosis and treatment. It's had a good amount of support and was even on the radio, and I've been really happy with how it been received. Wanted to share it with other people doing Bandcamp and share some love, so I attached some codes :-)

On the song:

β€œThis track was made around April 2021, not long after my mum was diagnosed with cancer

eight years on from my dad’s diagnosis and death. Becoming acutely aware of death’s

presence again in my life has been an incredibly difficult and lonely experience, and it can be

really difficult to make sense of why things like this happen. This song is about navigating

that maze of feelings and fears, from the doubts that clutch at your heart to the blessings and

teachings that you can take in the darkest times.”

Vaush Musical Odysee: Conscious Hip Hop is the best and leftiest music that there is

>Conscious hip hop, or socially conscious hip-hop, is a subgenre of hip hop that challenges the dominant cultural, political, philosophical, and economic consensus,[4] and/or comments on social issues and conflicts... Themes of conscious hip hop include Afrocentricity, religion, aversion to crime and violence, culture, the economy, or depictions of the struggles of ordinary people

Conscious Hip Hop is in stark contrast to what we see in the mainstream today, but is arguably one of the original tendencies in the genre. It tends to make a virtue of intelligence and strength of moral character.

Mos Def - Mathematics - absolute classic in the genre "You wanna know how to rhyme you better learn how to add It's mathematics"

Immortal Technique - Industrial Revolution - a literal call for seizure of the means of production. Immortal Technique's is known for his brutal delivery and is the definition of counter-culture. He never signed a record deal so that nobody could dilute his message and is very critical of the music industry generally - check the Malcolm X reference in the first verse. Also 4th Branch, where he calls the media the 4th branch of the government - very hard hitting outro. I think Vaush would love his overall message as it's often him expressing his wish that the global south would unite in socialist revolution.

MF DOOM - Strange Ways - Although not ordinarily conscious hiphop, this one is short and sweet and a hardhitting discussion of policing and also of conflict in the Middle East. RIP to one of the GOATs

Aesop Rock - None Shall Pass - Aesops lyrics are often really hard to parse but are full of incredible metaphors and wordplay. This one seems to be a reference to that monty python sketch where the black knight keeps fighting even though he has no hope and all his limbs are cut off. It's Aesop calling for this same attitude
