In the monotony of modern existence, music has become a background experience for most rather than a foreground experience. Independent hip hop is no different. RapIndie has a catalog of nearly 1000 posts, but if you want to become one of them, this is what RapIndie looks for:

1. Raps that are difficult or creative.

2. Artist authenticity (rapping about their own lives).

3. Cultural significance (songs that elicit social reactions from people).

4. Empowerment (songs that break stereotypes, or songs that display stereotypes in a positive light).

Denzel Curry is a rapper from Carol City, Florida. He started with a shaky hipster following that didn't really embrace him. As a result, he flickered between sophistication and conventional presentation. This album feels like the first album where he's found himself. The music is good. The audience is clear. Denzel Curry has proven his brand, but when you aren't reinventing the wheel, the challenge is making a great song that gets recognized. G's Up is a great song featuring 2 Chainz and Mike Dimes. He didn't have the connections to make it surface, but Denzel Curry has a strong enough internet following to compensate for that. This album is worth a listen if you like hip hop.

Tyler has a clout in suburbia that is bigger than rock bands. Likewise, RapIndie was a blog that formerly but is no longer: a suburban thing. Tyler resonates in many areas that no one else does, but it's a little bit of a personal bias to overhype him because of it.

In the hipster era, we had an endless assortment of prolific artists to choose from. Although they were not always the most ethical, they were authentically talented. Running a blog means reflecting the industry, just as much as sharing my favorite music.

How many saints go viral?
