Okay, so I wanted to dive into the music scene in Kansas City, Missouri, specifically the rap scene. You know, see what’s popping, who’s making noise out there. So I started where anyone would these days – the internet.
Digging Around
First thing I did was hit up some music forums and websites, just browsing around, trying to get a feel for the local favorites. I stumbled upon a couple of videos claiming to highlight the “best” or “top 10” rappers in KC. They were pretty interesting, giving a glimpse into the different styles and sounds coming out of the city.
I noticed Kansas City’s got a pretty diverse scene, which is cool. It’s not just one thing. There’s some old-school hip-hop, some underground stuff, even some stuff that sounds a bit jazzy. Reminded me a bit of how St. Louis has its own unique flavor, producing big names like Nelly and SZA. It seems like KC is similar in that way.
Getting into the Details
Then, I went a bit deeper, trying to find some actual names. I found this one site that had a list of rappers from Kansas City. It wasn’t a huge list, only 11 names, but it was a start. I also found some more general info about musicians from KC, which helped me get a broader picture.
I started searching for individual artists, listening to their tracks, trying to get recommendations based on what I liked. I even looked up some hashtags on social media like #kansascity, #kcmo, #kclocal, just to see what people were posting about and who they were talking about. That’s where I found some more names like Black Walt, Skatterman, Snug Brim, and the 57th Street Rogue Dog Villians.
- Black Walt
- Skatterman
- Snug Brim
- 57th Street Rogue Dog Villians
Wrapping Up
Honestly, it felt like I was just scratching the surface. There’s probably a ton of talent out there that I haven’t even discovered yet. But this little exploration gave me a good starting point. It showed me that Kansas City’s got a vibrant and diverse rap scene, with artists bringing their own unique styles to the table. I’m definitely gonna keep digging and see what other gems I can find in the KC rap scene. It is a little bit rough but I think I have made great progress and I will keep doing that.
