The Glitches Keep Going
A brief addendum to the Complex piece "Gorgeous Glitches and Nightcore Melodies: The New Generation of SoundCloud Music is Here."
The other day, I published an article for Pigeons & Planes on the new faces of SoundCloud rap and hyperpop. It was a long piece — 3000+ words — and while I mentioned quite a few of my favorite artists, I didn’t get to cover everyone I wanted to. So many deserve praise. This scene goes deep — there are close to 40 promising rappers/vocalists not even counting producers. Originally, I left a list of my favorite tracks at the end of the piece, but that didn’t make print — so here’s the list.
