A Change In Music

Over recent years, there has been a prominent rise in White rappers. Now in 2011, it has become less of a joke or uncommon to see one. These artists are also gaining their respect based solely off of their skill, rather than the fact that they are White. As a lover of different sounds and genres of music, it's very pleasing to see artists getting the respect they deserve because they make great music and less because of the color of their skin.
As many of you may have heard of these artists, you should actually take the time out to listen to their music. Yelawolf, who just dropped his first album "Radioactive" under Shady Records; Rittz, who has a dope mixtape out by the name of "White Jesus"; Mac Miller, who so far has the number one album in the country "Blue Slide Park"; Asher Roth, who has a number of mixtapes under his belt as well as an album "Asleep In The Bread Aisle"; and Action Bronson, who's most recent work is his collaborated album with Statik Selektah "Well Done".
I'd like to especially take the time out to tell you about Action Bronson. I'll keep it short and simple for you, though: Dope Rapper. He has a very nice flow, from Queens, New York. He doesn't fall into the common styles of rapping you often hear today, and even has a line in his song Miss Fordham Road (86 87 88) joking about just that. The production on his latest album Well Done was perfect. I got an old school hip hop feel from it, that just puts you in a feel good place. I definitely recommend giving him a few listens and grabbing up his music, you won't be disappointed.
I decided to do this post and highlight some of these artists for the simple fact that some people ignore great music just because of the appearance of these artists. If you've checked out the site before or know me and the team, you know we won't steer you wrong with good music. So open your minds and give these artists a few good listens before passing judgement. Enjoy.
