Cuz... wtf happened to groups like Little Brother and Strange Fruit Project?

[chunky_mcdaniels]

I want a new Median album

Khrysis on the boards, boards.

That asr-x crunch.

I’ve loved LB’s music for years.

But they need to relax with the skits.

I'd add Tanya Morgan to the mix, they just put an album out last month:

 

[Motife43]

Still have their CDs that I bought from back in the day. From Divine and Soul Travelin were my shyt. I had a mix with them, HISD, Kooley High, Thyrday, LB, Kev Brown, Kenn Starr, Illmind, and a few other groups. Damn this shyt you could just listen and vibe out to.

Dawg I gotta go back and listen to those HISD projects. They were dope

SFP never got the acclaim or reached the level of LB, but they were just as talented. Like most I first saw/heard them on that Get Live joint with Badu on MTV Jams (or was BET Soul?)

Love chillin out to this joint

I don't know what has happened to them but a slept on gem from that era was H.I.S.D.'s "The District". King Midas was the star of the group as the beatmaker but that album had heat and he was the best 9th/Khrysis clone I heard back then.

 

[Motife43]

SFP x 9th

 

[Monoblock]

All The Way was my shyt.

 

[steadyrighteous]

I put People Under the Stairs in the same bracket.

Little Brother and PUTS two of my favorite groups of all time and I’ve always considered them to be east coast and west coast cousins for some reason. I throw either’s Pandora station on frequently when I’m getting ready for work in the morning

What are some other soulful, mid-2000s rap artists that don't get talked about often ?
I recognized several of these names like Kev Brown, Kenn Starr, illmind etc.
