Your hosts this episode: OptimalAudio embraced Today, OptimalAudio is joined by returning fellow guest embraced to discuss, once again, the state of the Soundcloud and the artists found in it's Rap scene. With the continued rise and variations of Jerk, Lowend, and various Plugg subgenres by said artists, your hosts battle against the narrative of Rap, and Soundcloud Rap specifically, becoming stale and highlight some of their favorite (and least favorite) artists dominating their attention, and who they could see blowing up in the future. Artists discussed include Yeat, OsamaSon, Lazer Dim 700, Glokk40spaz, Ian, Xaviersobased, Nettspend, Shed Theory, Corey Lingo, and many others. Along the way the podcast also comments on the growing variations and evolution found in the Soundcloud Rap scene and how it compares to the initial older artists and scenes that broke the platform into the mainstream initially.
