ARE WE SCARED OF ORIGINAL LYRICISTS?

We all can almost say that, since rappers like Mode 9, Rugged Man, 2 Shortz amongst others left the spotlight, so did good rap with good lyrics leave. The fact is there are actually artists with good lyrics and flow but it’s either we don’t listen to them or they don’t have enough exposure, like the other artists, so we do not know them.

One of the reasons is because most people are reluctant to explore and listen to something new. We are used to the sound we hear so it’s kind of hard to try to listen to new people, so we stick to the “already blown” artists not knowing there are some good gems we’re missing out on.

Artists like Poe, Odunsi, Show Dem Camp, Ozzy B, Ozone, Phenom, Tesh Carter, Postly TD, Jesse Jagz, Fresh L, Eva, Pryce and a lot more have deep and intelligent lyrics and sounds but they aren’t getting enough attention. And another major reason for this is that they are not like the regular commercial rappers, they are major lyricists. They are the “new school” wave and artist.

Some well-known lyricists are Falz, Vector, Ycee and M.I, to mention but a few, but they have been able to add the commercial vibe and it is working well for them.

This just proves that majority of us are more interested in the commercial wave other than the major waves and lyrics. I think it’s time to start vibing to real lyricists who add the rhythm to music.
