The music portion of SXSW features so many established, up-and-coming and unknown rappers, that it’s often times difficult to decide who to see. We here at RESPECT. created a compatibility test to assist you in your rapper choices. (And even if you are not attending SXSW this test may help you discover new artists!)
If you say the following two words at least two to three times a day: “Turn up” and “Ratchet,”
then…
Chief Keef, GBE Squad, Katie Got Bandz and Louie V Mob are for you.
If you like witty wordsmiths who can also probably beat you in a game of “S.K.A.T.E.”,
then…
Joey Bada$$ and Pro Era, Hopsin and Earl Sweatshirt are for you.
If you’re looking for a Texas rap fix,
then…
Bun B, A.Dd+, Killa Kyleon, Kydd, League of Extraordinary G’z, Scarface and Trae tha Truth are for you.
If you’re looking for a New York rap fix,
then…
A$AP Ferg, Flatbush Zombies, The Underachievers, Joey Bada$$ and Pro Era, Ghostface Killah, Mykki Blanco, RZA, Roc Marciano, U-GOD and Zebra Katz are for you.
If you’ve ever had a song listed as “Tumblr rap,”
then…
Kitty Pryde, Lil Debbie and RiFF RaFF are for you.
If you like your rhymes half conscious rap-y, half party rap-y,
then…
ScHoolboy Q, Danny Brown and Kendrick Lamar are for you.
