For me it was Kodak
He still got a great discography but Im sad about how he couldnt really turn his life around

Was there even somebody who had this much exciting potential after him?

Esdeekid
Diamond*
Fakemink

Define new?

2019-2021 rx papi

If the last rapper that caught your attention was a decade ago I don’t think anybody here is gonna have a recc that appeals to you tbh

fakemink but ngl his rapping is not what gets me excited his bars are pretty basic just the overall sound/vibe tho

Baby Keem with Melodic Blue and I look forward to whatever he drops next

seiji oda

Stove God Cooks. Then he did nothing but features for 5 years straight with no follow up after his debut

Papo2oo4 and subjxct 5 most recently

MIKE and niontay, the whole 10k wave

Veeze, Ganger was really a flawless album and proof there's still room for rappers to drop infrequently with high quality projects, but man I wish he would release a bit more often

I was pretty excited for Polo G and, yeah

Yessir Diamond*

PZ' too

nine vicious

Jaeychino, Florence Sinclair if he counts as a rapper

Kenny Mason
Mavi
Redveil
Westside Boogie
Samara Cynn

Kodak

im currently excited for Lucy Bedroque

Skaiwater. I like how he incorporates pop and singysongy elements into his style of music so seamlessly

good pull

Album was crazy fs

Veeze... When ganger dropped i genuinely think he was one of the best in the game at the moment.
