Diversity has always been the vision of RapIndie. We love indie rock. We love hip hop. Indie rap cherry picks the best from both worlds and we think that's what makes it so much better.
People initially divided over money and vanity. Now the division seems to be the impracticality of accepting others in real life situations. We may not have an answer for the mechanical side of hustling, but we don't need to worry about that from a laptop.
Don Toliver is a rapper/singer from Texas, US. "Octane" is an album that is very interesting. Don Toliver is a part of Travis Scott's Cactus Jack crew, he's a Rolling Loud veteran, and he is very proudly "a sketchy individual". Despite that, this album is more emotional than "Hurry Up Tomorrow" and "Swag 2". The production is emotional, but his melodies keep up with it. You just can't fake that kind of sincerity. The lyrics are very ordinary hip hop, but while there are no love songs, the vibe is borderline emo. Don't get it twisted, the album is very good, it just clashes with his image. He talks about his questionable background, the lyrics are at best about hookups, the imagery and videos target male audiences exclusively, but he really is very vulnerable on this album, and for some reason, it works.
