Yo! I’m putting together my first mixtape and looking for MCs who want to make actual hip-hop, particularly boom-bap, lyrical underground hip-hop, and more experimental or alternative stuff.
Some of my inspirations include MF DOOM, Nas, Kendrick Lamar, Tyler, the Creator, early Kanye West, and Kid Cudi.
The production blends dusty boom-bap drums, live guitar and bass, psychedelic melodies, atmosphere, and occasionally heavier or more experimental sounds. Think classic hip-hop foundations with room to get creative.
Who I’m looking for:
-MCs with strong flows, distinct voices, and personality.
-Lyricists who can tell stories, paint pictures, or bring clever wordplay.
-Artists comfortable over boom-bap and sample-based production.
-People willing to experiment a little. You don’t have to be a traditional backpack rapper; a little Tyler-style weirdness, humor, character, or unpredictability is welcome.
-Artists who genuinely want to collaborate and make something good, rather than just exchange links.
Not really looking for trap artists or people whose entire style revolves around modern trap flows and 808-heavy production. This project is centered on MCing and hip-hop, though the beats will have some alternative influences.
I’m open to different voices and approaches as long as they fit the music. Follower count doesn’t matter to me nearly as much as the actual artistry.
If you’re interested, drop a SoundCloud, YouTube, or other link to your music in the comments, preferably a song that best represents your writing and delivery. Tell me a little about your style, too.
Let’s make something real. No need to be established—just bring your own identity and be serious about the craft.
