Unlike many around him (even Drake, who seems to have developed himself off Phonte), he raps with clarity ad sings really well and talks about topics that are quite humble - his 2018 album he spoke about the death of his father, trying to lose weight and getting married.
It's sad how he hasn't blown up compared to other - less talented and versatile - rappers, but his output has been nothing short of fantastic.

Yes! No News is Good News is a classic! If you don't know Little Brother, that was a rap duo he was in some time ago and they got back together for an album last year. Check it out if you haven't!
Phonte specializes in what I call "grown man raps". He's similar to Black Thought, but with less intensity.
Speaking of Black Thought, please check out Streams of Thought vol 1 & 2, if you haven't!

I really need to try the Little Brother album. I've been listening to the Pacific Time EP quite a lot lately.

This aint about Hip Hop or Rap, but about Indie Music and I didn't want to look for a make a general music thread.....
I don't know who knows what Bandcamp is, but they apparently provide a place for the indie music producers to sell their stuff online.
Well, it appears that in the face of the COVID-19 Pandemic, they have decided to waive all fees and send all proceeds directly to said artist this Friday.

So if you have a favorite band, and you've been meaning to purchase some of their albums, now would be a good time to do so and either save a little money or have the artist get all the proceeds instead of a slice going to the distributor.

So i finally did listen to May The Lord Watch. I quite enjoyed it. But the surprise for 2020 is Lyric Jones' Closer Than They Appear. It's easily my favourite album of 2020.
It's ludicrously short at 22 minutes long for an album, but the album flows together so beautifully that you dont even realise its finished. Phonte is the exec producer and it kinda shows due to how well the tracks flow together.
It takes everything that made Little Brother good and distilled it down even further. Amazing.
