I'm not sure if you guys have been keeping up with new/ underground hip-hop artists but
it's time you let me put you on! I've been in need, desperately of new music, but not just any
music, I wanted music that really touched me. I wanted chills on my arms when I heard that
beat drop, frequencies that make my imagination run wild, I need that spiritual stuff.
This need for change in the kind of music I listened to happened after I accidentally
discovered the rap duo Oshun which was inspired by Afro-spiritualism. They had one song
“Blessings on Blessings” that I had on repeat for months. This song is actually how I started
my journey into learning more about afro-spiritualism, the practices of my people.
So hunting for this same kind of vibe, I decided to use TikTok. When you really want to find
something especially in a certain subcategory, searching TikTok hashtags is literally golden.
Instagram, which has the same feature but isn't as good, and of course, youtube, While on my
search I came across a few new/ underground artists that really captured the vibe I was
searching for. That ethereal, spiritual dreamy vibe.
Iniko was one of the first that I came across. They are a non-binary artist who makes the
most magical music I have ever heard. Their style is impeccable but nothing compares to their
voice and the way they put harmonies together to create this tenuous vibe. I'm talking, pack a
bowl put them on repeat, and just CHILL. I definitely recommend checking out their tracks
“Motion” and “Caught a Body” are both on Spotify and Youtube for streaming. They also
post covers/ reimagined versions of songs where they change the entire vibe making it so
amazingly dreamy. Definitely check them out.
I also discovered an artist called Zilo through one of her songs “On a Wave”. It captures that
high energy, high vibrational vibe. I definitely associate it with just feeling uplifted and in a
dream-like state of being. She is an artist from London who just loves poetry and painting. She
is honestly so sweet and I definitely recommend following her Instagram and youtube channel.
She is one of those artists that you can listen to with no skips.
One of the last artists that I really wanted to talk about is Nemisye. They are a queer, non-
binary lofi artist with a jazz vibe that really GIVES what needs to be GAVE. The first song I
heard by them was called the Interlude when they were using their artist name EzzytheNinja.
This song BOPS! If you're looking for that feeling like you're in love, not with anyone or
anything in particular, just life, that song is it! The song they currently have out “I am
Nemisye” is equally a bop. It definitely makes me want to roll up a blunt and chill out for the
rest of my day.
These are just some of the artists I found who I actually listen to consistently. They just give
the spiritual, ethereal, dreamy vibe that my soul craves and really makes me feel higher in
vibration the more I listen to them and artists that capture that vibe. I hope you guys do decide
to check them out, follow, and leave your support! Thank me later. Byeeeeee.
