Can we talk about the state of Houston Rap for goodness sake?

Not enough K-rino love in this thread. He has been one of the best and constantly puts out new material.

Some of the best conceptual/creative hip-hop songs come from him and not too many people know about them.

I haven't kept up with many artists since the 2005 H-town rap explosion...seemed like all of those guys just petered out after 1 or 2 mainstream records.

 

Post some links/videos/etc

Rocket River

 

amazing k-rino album:

Lecrae's album Anomaly dropped yesterday. I really recommend it. It's worth at least one listen if you like Houston rap.

Didn't know he released a new album, thanks. Feels like he releases an album every 5 or 6 months, but they're still great and don't feel rushed.

 

A couple people who went to school in my area. I know Mr. 16.

Surprised at the lack of love for Fat Tony in this thread:

Official release from Billboard: http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/6251697/lecrae-earns-first-no-1-album-on-billboard-200?facebook_20140917

 

Production also counts for something. It ain't all about the rapper, etc.

 

Lecrae: Christian Rappers, Christian Rap, and the No. 1 Album in the Country

Lecrae is the best rapper from Houston right now, and it's not even close.

 

Crazy that he went #1, love it. Finally in the spotlight.

 

This is great! Thanks!
