Many rappers don't have strong fan bases in 2025.

While producers seem to be trying to make the world less critical, audiences seem to like most rappers equally and not very much.

RapIndie prioritizes rappers that appeal to other cultures, because we already love us.

Foster Lancaster has continually shocked audiences by recycling negative attention, navigating impersonal prejudices, and building on an unquestioned talent. "The Good Link" is his best, most polished release yet which is amazing because he has released so much music. The production is a mixture of his former sound-brand mixed with sampling and genre bending. The lyrics are targeted, reflective, fun, and mind-blowingly clever. Foster has figured out exactly what makes him relevant and served up a masterpiece of focused and effective music. If you like Foster Lancaster on any level, this is a must-listen.
Sometimes, people steal the show. However, that doesn't have to be a bad thing. In Odd Future, Earl Sweatshirt was the undisputed heavy weight of their clique. Yet, his unnecessary talent made people more interested in all the other members too. The varying degrees of talent were expected and added to the organic narrative of their formation. If every rapper was as good as Earl, the group would be boring, and unnatural. Kodak Black can fill stadiums and possibly out-sell Earl Sweatshirt because not all audiences are looking for the same things.
