RHH: Stop Sleeping #7?

Disclaimer:

I will no longer post the album DL links on these Qs.

About 15 previous Qs I posted were deleted, for that reason.

If you'd like a link, join Palringo and ask me.

If you don't know how, just google "Palringo" and download it.

Sign up, and search for the group called "yahoo answers"

I'm on there quite a lot, along with a lot of other regs. =)

What Is "Stop Sleeping"?

Basically I'm just going to reccomend artists that you might not have checked out.

Artist: Qwel

For those of you who don't know, I'm Qwel's biggest(and apparently, only) fan.

In my opinion, one of the best rappers, ever.

Qwel > *Insert 99/100 typical top 10 rappers*

Here's a little background on Qwel:

He's from Chicago.

Made a group called Typical Cats, which includes the members, Qwel, Qwazaar, Denizen Kane, DJ Natural and Kid Knish.

The stars of the group are definetely Qwel and Qwazaar.

His flow has changed a lot since his early days.

It's a lot more accessable on his newer albums, with Maker.

On the Typical Cats albums, it's all about punchlines(which are mind-blowing) and showing off on the mic.

He dives into more serious topics on his solo projects.

He's worked with producers Maker, Jackson Jones, Molemen, Mike Gao, Meaty Ogre, Silence and Kip Killagain

Qwel has one of the best rhyme schemes I've ever heard, if not the best.

Dope internals and creative multi-syllables.

The albums, The Harvest(Autumn), Freezer Burner(Winter) and The New Wine(Spring) are all parts of a 4-part series Qwel is doing.

One album for each season. I don't know when the Summer one will be out.

Check out the ones with "**" 1st.

The "*" ones are for people who'd like to hear more, after hearing those with "**" on them.

I'll post links to songs to any with stars on them.

Take some time out of your day, and give these tracks a listen.

I guarantee you won't regret it.

If you like punchlines, you'll love Typical Cats.

If you like conscious hip-hop, you'll love his solo work.
