Does anyone know any good hip-hop/ r'n'b music?

Im getting bored listening to the same music, but when I go to spotify, there's hardly any good choices, anyone know any decent ones?

Look at all the official R&B/Hip-Hop playlists made by Spotify. If not, search each one and see what other users have created.

This is my playlist anyway - most of my best songs are in there already. Will be adding more if I think of any.

Lots, but you need to be more specific. What era, for example, are you into?

Not my scene, a lot of 'current' hip hop is crap IMO. Apart from grime.

I'd add bugsy malone to that list.
I'd second Wiley. His freestyle on YT from years back with Tim Westwood is worth a listen.

Don't listen to much RnB it must be said. (I do like Jhené Aiko actually, some stuff like 'Lifestyle' - Young Thug etc - mainstream hip hop i suppose)

Maybe a couple songs by 'Nav' are ok. 'Up' being one, 'myself' being another.

Things have moved more to Grime or house varieties such as techno and stuff. (Lane 8 - Fingerprint ,if you want some techno)

That + Slew Dem, Ruff Sqwad & Neckle Camp.

OP just download the Oukast discography tbh. It's 90s-00s obviously but they were ahead of their time, just get it tbh you'll love them.

^ All of these are fantastic.

This is pretty cool too, free d/l - http://iammick.com/outkast

Other than that maybe some Run the Jewels.
Yo, thanks guys!!
Best 'Grime' Act out there is Chip IMO lol before I start any riot. If your experimenting give Dappy a try. Songs like Beautiful me and Hip Hip Hooray are bangers :biggrin:

In my opinion Chip did. Yungens Oopsy Daisy diss was fire. But apart from Chip buried him lol. Yungen shot himself in the foot after being caught running outside Nandos tbh lol :biggrin:

Lyrics wise I do think he is the best. Shame Lowkey took a break but at least he's back. Only people that come close IMO are GIggs, Skepta and Wiley. Dappys lyrics are really good but he has hit a downward slump unfortunately. :h:
