Rap is one of the most listened to genres of music and storytelling was a way for rappers mostly in the 90s to express their feelings with their songs. They found a way to paint a literal picture to we the listeners.
Music storytelling in the 2000s isn’t what it used to be in the 90s but artist like J Cole, Cordae, Dave, Kendrick Lamar all brought the art of music storytelling to us in a pure form.
Here are a compilation of my story telling playlist, I hope you enjoy!!
