So for this post I just wanted to shout-out a couple of my buds outside of Steemit who need just a little bit more love. I feel like Rap in general on Steemit is growing; the amount of undiscovered and newly discovered talent on Steemit is insane and everyone is always giving their all on this site (not saying you can't give your all on Soundcloud but since Steemit is quite tight-knit, there's a much bigger sense of community here).
So here's my list, check em out if you wish and tell em poorkid sent ya ^^
STRANGE (or STRVNGE): https://soundcloud.com/strvnge_wav
I've worked with STRANGE since day one. STRANGE and me met since he was the first person to ever buy my music. STRANGE makes a variety of rap with a tasteful amount of auto-tune. STRANGE has been around for quite some time and he can go from full out harsh trap rap to incredibly meaningful vocal pieces. He's honestly a jack-of-all-trades and he works fucking fast.
My favorite song of his is 'wake up' from his upcoming project LIL VIVALDI I which is dropping 9th February. Check it out here and give him some love

rich money:https://soundcloud.com/richmoney1
rich money is a fucking god too and a frequent collaborator with STRANGE. We've been connected since our song 'all the time'. He's been going for not long but he's always bringing his A-game on really clubby, wavy and electronic beats. However that doesn't mean he ain't versatile, as shown in our track 'all the time': https://soundcloud.com/p00rkid/all-the-time-ft-rich-money
If you wanna hear my favorite song of his, listen to Whatchu Gonna Do here: https://soundcloud.com/richmoney1/whatchu-gonna-do-prove-em-wrong-prod-lucid-soundz
itspete:https://soundcloud.com/itspete
Itspete can rap over fucking anything and bring some of the most unique wordplay of any rapper i've ever seen. He's quite monotone but his voice is like butter even when he's talking about fucking triceratops and other insane shit. He's really supportive and was one of the very first people. A pleasurable and unique sound everytime from pete.
If you wanna get into itspete, listen to planetarium and you'll see how chilled he is: https://soundcloud.com/itspete/planetarium-prod-spooki-scari
namelessmcp:https://soundcloud.com/namelessmcp
Nameless is 100% talented. His versatility throughout all the projects we've made together is insane. He can be emotional in every way, whether he's spitting about drugs, suicide, nature and fucking anything. He can get funky, grimy and atmospheric whenever he feels like it. 3 songs which have gotta be my favorite is 'keep that smile on your face', 'side effects' and 'emotions'. Check it out if you want the most underrated guy on soundcloud:

daryl salad:https://soundcloud.com/darylsalad
Daryl is unbelievable in his vocal talent and how varied is tonality can be. First things first, he is a reliable collaborator. When my tape was about to drop, his work ethic kicked in hard and he sent me 3 of my favorite songs i've ever had the courtesy to produce for. He's about to drop a nutty project on 2nd of February and hope the Steemit community can give it a decent listen. No Drama, the single off his upcoming album 'we aren't the same as b4' is a banger for sure https://soundcloud.com/darylsalad/no-drama
finley:https://soundcloud.com/fingriffin
If you wanna hear some of the highest quality, highly original lofi hip hop on soundcloud, then finley is your man. Despite how young he is, finley produces like he's been producing from the womb. His soundscapes he creates from his flipped samples are absolutely divine. Everything finley does is so crisp and wavy. Listen to this shit if you are in a bad mood, chillin, smokin, doing whatever the fuck that's stressful and this shit will literally take you to another planet. His latest song 'shootouts' goes hard and soft at the same time and overall, he spends so much time making sure what you're listening to is his best. Listen to shooutouts here: https://soundcloud.com/fingriffin/shootouts
IN CONCLUSION
Please share some love if you wanna try and listen to something completely new and unique. Without all these guys I doubt i'd be anywhere close to where I am now. If any steemians need inspiration for their latest beat or latest set of bars, i'd highly recommend listening to these legends. <3
Thanks for your time and hopefully you enjoy some of these referalls!
