Progressive Hip Hop, RnB, etc.?
Asking this because I'm just not very knowledgeable about music. Does anything like this exist?
What prompted this is listening to Cardiacs - The Seaside. I was never into punk beyond a few popular examples, but loved the energy and angst. Cardiacs are a nice blend of the raw, fast, hard hitting sound of punk mixed with progressive playing and New Wave approachability.
Are there pure hip hop or RnB examples of progressive (mainly musically complex) acts? If I were to provide an example of my own, I'd say Busta Ryhmes fits the bill. Really enjoyed his arrangements, his other-worldy rapping ability (speed and flow), and unique presentation. Anderson Paak is another artist that fits that mold for me with undeniable talent as a multiinstrumentalist.
What are your suggestions? Asking to get recommendations and perspectives!
Thank you!
