Can you give me some recommendations on up and comers to give a listen to?

In addition to Fedd the God (the best in the city rn) my favorites include:

Guapo Lennon - sort of melodic trap, not super distinctive, but a good artist

Hardo - really nice, I like his recent project with DJ Drama and Deezlee a lot

Deezlee - the other half of that Drama project. I think hardo has better bars, but Deezlee is cool

Stunna2Fly - gang rap, good stuff. Similar to Jimmy Wopo, but not quite as good for me

Blacc Cuzz - a ton of talent. Most of his music thus far has been fairly generic, but the raw material is all there. Good ear for beats, some decent bars and flows, good hooks. Just needs to put it all together

Mayhem Mal - decent street rapper

My Favorite Color - doesn't really ride for the city it seems, but he's from here. Also a different, more campy vibe than the others on this list.

Reese Young - just okay to me most of the time, but worth checking out. Occasionally hits you with a great track

Thanks for this list. The campy vibe described for My Favorite Color was something I’ve been looking for but didn’t know how to explain it. I thought it more like backpack rap but it just wasn’t right.
