This is true but essentially none of them release music anymore besides Lofty who is incredibly hit or miss with his solo stuff. I think they were just a bit before there time to really blow up. unfortunately, being a bunch of weirdos matters much less now than it did even a few years ago. Didn’t help matters that Ruben slikk got locked up when he was by far the best rapper in the group.

I like some off loftys newer stuff, this in particular

I’d say mink rug, kushpak (1 or 2, 1 has more “”hits”” but I think 2 is a better album) and king Astroslikk (this is a solo album from one of there members). They had a lot of output at the time it’s hard to narrow it down to just 3 though.

Also, this song on repeat

Mink Rug (although it's unlike a lot of their other stuff), Kuspak 1, Shroomtard. Shroomtard is one of my fav albums of theirs and was what got me into their stuff.

Also Lofty305 has a bunch of stuff on bandcamp that's occasionally free/cheap. Dude's still making some good music (although some is extremely meh, of course with like 100 tapes out in the last 5 or so years, that's to be expected). A lot of his stuff tends more towards ambient sounds, kinda like Jet Age of Tomorrow/Pyramid Vritra type stuff only more sparse.

Lofty keeps it going but yeah they seem like they just missed their window. I'm surprised at least Lofty hasn't hooked up with some other folks since his production is still solid and his sound is basically in line with a lot of stuff that's trending now.

Also, Ski Mask's tape this year was pretty solid too. Like dude be rapping his rear end off, which isn't expected at all for someone whose in with all the soundcloud dudes.

I been sayin! He's hands down the best technical rapper from the current soundcloud crop. His flows are super diverse and he has a really goofy sense of humor that makes his stuff generally pretty fun to listen to. Like check this out:

Lmao I legit can’t believe the retards in here who think a coalition of Kanye and Pusha can best Drizzy.

Drizzy actually has flow and rhythm. The best Kanye songs are because of the backing track not created by him and literally every Pusha song is him just talking in a funny voice.

That being said Drizzy should leave Pusha alone because even choir boys could wreck Pusha so it’s not a fair fight

I was just thinking about making a Zu post this last week. Summer weather is reaaaaally hard for me to separate from Metro Zu.

As a collective, MinkRug was my intro. I still use the hook from Joggin’ as my ringtone (I also bought a few TimePeaces, shout out Kidd Lucid). Zuology was the second to last tape that they put out as a group to my knowledge and it’s full of bangers. I also like Heaven, it’s ahead of its time with like 80 tracks but there are some really good ones. Butterflies N Dolphinz, Mountain, DonkRacer.

Their last tape, Z Unit, is p good and has some of my favorite tracks including one that’s a 25 lighters tribute.

But King Astro Slikk the Magnificent is loving amazing. It’s just front to back banging. I’m gonna put it on now.

Like others have said, they were too early. If they had released now what they did in 2010-2013, we would be all singing along to Nigga Bleed Kush. Stuff like this is why I don’t gently caress w streaming. I’ll have these tapes until something catastrophic happens to me, and no one can ever take that away.
