Here’s 6 rappers who DON’T get the credit they deserve for their impact on hip-hop… do you agree? 👀

Wiz Khalifa - defined the blog era with one of the first ever viral mixtapes “Kush & Orange Juice,” also made w**d his full identity & business 🍃

Speaker Knockerz (R.I.P.) - pioneered making self-produced and autotune heavy internet hits 👨‍💻

Mexikodro - single-handedly invented plug beats which went on to define a large part of Soundcloud rap 📈

Black Kray (Sickboyrari) - one of the earliest pioneers of cloud rap with his own goth twist to it, which made one of the first Internet rap collectives “Goth Money Records” 💰

Fredo Santana - older cousin of Chief Keef, who started GBE alongside him and brought a more menacing style to Chicago drill music that wasn’t there before 😳

Curren$y - similar to Wiz Khalifa, Spitta Andretti introduced laidback lifestyle rap and built his early buzz totally independently, influencing rappers like Mac Miller, Playboi Carti and more 😮‍💨

Did you know about these rappers’ impacts? Who did we miss? 🤔
