Valerie
If hip hop was all about raw talent, Raging Moses would definitely be in the spotlight many times over. Featuring solid rap skills, dope samples and beats that's incorporated with positive lyrics, it's hard not to find inspiration in his songs. Although not much is posted about the artist himself, in a way, you can take his music to speak for him.

His initial album, When Kings Go To War, is a full record that's offered for purchase on the page as well.

Black Mask: Us and Them

Valerie
It's rare to find good quality music being offered for free online but when you do find them, you're rewarded with a new artist to love and great new music to enjoy. Us and Them is an indie hip hop album that's a good find. It was recorded and released by a group of friends who call themselves Black Mask. Originally made up of Maulskull, America Smith, B-Nuggs, INfluence, Noby One, Joe Kirschner, Dean Wakerlin, Dustin Thompkins and Milton Minasko; the crew has downsized to a six piece from a nine. Despite the dwindling number, they still churn out music that's worth grazing your ears.
