I’ll start with Saul Williams. I found out about him because he opened for NiN. He was great. I thought he was going to break through when I heard him in a Nike commerical, but nope his social conscious rap didn’t catch on.

What people or groups do you think should be more popular? Also name/link some songs.

No man is an island, but I often feel alone, so I find peace through…ooohhmmmm…

    Saul Williams is a favorite for me. I think he wrote Black Stacey when he was a teenager. Good stuff!

    Pretty sure everyone’s heard of every band I enjoy, but I think Andy Shauf, Damien Jurado (especially Brothers and Sisters of the Eternal Son), and Doomtree should be more widely enjoyed.
