I think it still is. Soulquarians isn't a genre, if that's what you mean. More a 90s collective of some really good artists that essentially berthed a lot of the sounds we're hearing today.
[The RH Factor - Hard Groove](https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjQjuNu3vVC_2CjFxskB6JfZtwF-Ki8Qf) is a great throwback compilation that has Badu, D'angelo, Q-tip and a whole buncha others along with some funky/jazzy/r&b tracks.Ā Ā
Anything by P-Funk, really. That's what a lot of the sounds on Awaken My Love are influenced by.Ā
My personal favorites are Up for the Down Stroke and Let's Take it to the Stage.
Gonna add 2 Chainz to this too. He may be an odd character on this list, but I think he's severely underrated as an artist
Also, any of the run The Jewels albums. And with those, any solo El-P or Killer Mike cuz why TF not. Mike jus won 3 Grammys w his last album, which is his best work.
Redveil - Learn 2 Swim, the production on the whole album is š¤
Also highly recommended Isiah Rashad - The House is Burning for largely the same reason shit is š„µš„µš„µ
Okay I'm gonna suggest something a little further back in time; try Grand Puba - 2000, Brand Nubian - Foundation, People Under The Stairs - The Next Step, Roots Manuva - Run Come Save Me
Erykah Badu - Baduizm (1997)
Lil Kim - Hard Core (1996)
Thundercat - It Is What It Is (2020)
DāAngelo - Voodoo (2000)
Little Brother - May The Lord Watch (2019)
DJ Shadow - Entroducingā¦
Aesop Rock - Impossible Kid
Run the Jewels - RTJ3
Tyler the Creator - IGOR
Yves Tumor - Heaven to a Tortured Mind
e- formatting
I second the recs for Blood Orange (Negro Swan), Little Simz (Sometimes I Might Be Introvert), and Erykah Badu (Baduizm).
If you want to get into something a bit more left-field, check out FKA Twigs (LP1 great place to start, Magdalene is a masterpiece but less accessible imo).
Some specific recommendations:
Slum Village - Fan-Tas-Tic, Vol. 2
DāAngelo - Voodoo
Kaytranada - 99.9%
Common - Be
Black Milk - If Thereās A Hell Below
- Jungle's back catalogue
- Little Simzās back catalogue
- Hiatus Kaiyoteās back catalogue
- DāAngelo
- Funkadelic, āMaggot Brainā
- Sault
- Poppy Ajudhaās āWeaknessā single
- Jai Paul
- Steam Downās āFive Fruitā EP
Branching off a bit in the realm of jazz - i think you'd enjoy Kamasi Washington's Heaven and Earth and Yussef Dayes' live albums or his debut Black Classical Music
Oof these are amazing records btw but Iād recommend:
Late Registration by Kanye (you prob have this one already)
Dummy by Portishead (if you like Solangeās production, youāll love this record)
*Wildcards if you feel like deviating to different genres:
The Freewheelinā Bob Dylan (lyricism š¤š½š¤š½) think about Kendrick but making folk music instead.
The Artristry of Tal Farlow (one word: guitar)
I fuck hard with Mac Miller, Iād recommend more of him - Circles, GOOD AM, Watching Movies to start. Austin by Post Malone was good too and fits this vibe here I think. I tend to stick with older hip hop - Ice Cube, Westside Connection, Mobb Deep, Wu Tang, OutKast, Beastie Boys.
Toro Y Moi - Anything In Return
Tyler, the Creator - IGOR and Call me if You Get Lost Estate Sale
Childish Gambino - Because the Internet (Original vinyl that comes with the screenplay written for it)
If you have Spotify or Apple Music, go to the artist page and scroll down to the bottom to see āFans Also Likeā or āSimilar Artistsā. Usually good recs there to expand your view.
This doesnāt fit with what theyāre listening to, though. There are even some funky Ween songs you couldāve recommended that wouldāve fit. Freedom of ā76, Monique the freak, Sarah, maybe mutilated lips? Idk. Weird rec based on the pic.
Youād probably enjoy Sometimes I might be introvert by little simz
Itās such an experience especially the first track
For the Billie maybe youād like pang by Caroline polachek, or magdalene by fka twigs
And for the solange record, idk Ctrl
Many things rule and seem like they would like it more based on this sample. Don't get me wrong, I love ween. I'm currently trying to get their twelve country greats, but I don't think this is going to be their jam based on this.
This is one I recently picked up lately that I love that not many people have probably listened to. Fits this vibe pretty well I think.

D'Angelo. Badu. Fuck it, just Google "soulquarians"...

Yeah Luv 4 Rent is dope I need to throw it back in the rotation

Tyler
Not really hip hop, and havenāt really listened to these albums, but gotta get some Prince in there, and V V Brown (sheās a genius).
Sign O the Times if youāre looking for a specific Prince rec.
Go buy something not pressed in the last decade
Banks 'The Alter'
Dude when I first heard Oxnard I couldnāt stop laughing at the ending to headlow like I donāt think Iāve laughed that hard in my life

Iām surprised no one has said unknown mortal orchestra. Theyāre even featured on one of the albums you posted. Specifically the album Mulit love
Oof these are amazing records btw but Iād recommend: Late Registration by Kanye (you prob have this one already) Dummy by Portishead (if you like Solangeās production, youāll love this record) *Wildcards if you feel like deviating to different genres: The Freewheelinā Bob Dylan (lyricism š¤š½š¤š½) think about Kendrick but making folk music instead.

Atmosphere
Just a ten letter word
Freddie Gibbs and Mablibās PiƱata

Amnesty - Free Your Mind
[August Greene ~Black Kennedy](https://youtu.be/gnupgKrWNxI?si=5j0lBp4sZOD7Ap1r)
*An Evening with Silk Sonic* by Silk Sonic is phenomenal
Iāve been in into Ol Buger Beats and Vuyoās album āDialogueā. If youāre into Kendrick as a singer, this might work for you
Not exactly a similar style but we've got almost identical taste, you should check out I Didn't Mean To Haunt You - Quadeca
Black Moses
MIKE - Burning Desire Wiki - 14k Figaro Freddie Gibbs - PiƱata Altin GĆ¼n - AÅk

Mac Ayers, start with Juicebox and Something To Feel
thee sacred souls self titled
Kelela - Take Me Apart
Anything thatās trending on the radio tbh
Badbadnotgood and Ghostface - Sour Soul
The top row middle what kind of music is it? I almost bought that record on a impulse by shot, but they were sold out.
If you have Spotify or Apple Music, go to the artist page and scroll down to the bottom to see āFans Also Likeā or āSimilar Artistsā. Usually good recs there to expand your view.
Scum Fuck Flower Boy, Igor, and Call Me If You Get Lost by Tyler the Creator are all fucking amazing. especially SFFB bc the album flows together so nicely and itās a killer experience on vinyl. also Ctrl and SOS by Sza, SOS spans across different genres. Twopointfive by AminĆ© and USEE4YOURSELF by IDK are really fun albums too.
New schoolboy q
Scum Fuck Flower Boy - Tyler the Creator (the orange album with all the bees)
I hope that James McMurty album has Choctaw Bingo! Fucking killer tune.
Mick jenkins
was the color placement intentional to look like a checkerboard?
really cool vibe. iāll throw in Call me if you get lost by Tyler
Shocked, no one has suggested MC Chris yet.
Circles by Mac Miller! You NEED that one if you like his music
Dilla
Wolf ttc, :)
Anderson paak Malibu
The Internet

Damn, I like Solange and would listen venyl
SZA - Ctrl Frank Ocean - Blond Jermih - Late Nights Rhianna - ANTI WEEKND - Beauty and the Madness
Black Moses - Isaac Hayes
For Solange, I would recommend Cleo Sol !
erykah badu, frank ocean, sudan archives, blood orange, badbadnotgood
The Bleeding by Cannibal Corpse
We would get along quite well š¤
I liked quite a bit of the stuff in this photo. I really have been enjoying the new schoolboy q album, Blue lips.
Grateful Dead dicks pick vol 11
A lot of other good mentions, DāAngelo, Thundercat, Parliament. The newest SZA record is tight. Janelle Monae. Sharon Jones.
Youād probably enjoy Sometimes I might be introvert by little simz Itās such an experience especially the first track For the Billie maybe youād like pang by Caroline polachek, or magdalene by fka twigs And for the solange record, idk Ctrl
Busty and the bass... Both uncommon good and Eddie are great albums
The internet and kali uchis
kyle dion is so based. Daniel ceasar, dāangelo, brent fiayaz would be my recs
J Dilla - The Shining
Prolly Taylor Swift.
just turn on the radio
Ween
What about this says ween?
Ween fucking rules why does their current taste need to be so compartmented? Let them expand and grow.
Many things rule and seem like they would like it more based on this sample. Don't get me wrong, I love ween. I'm currently trying to get their twelve country greats, but I don't think this is going to be their jam based on this.
Dude I just responded to another Ween comment! Donāt get me wrong, I love Ween. But not similar to the albums in the picture at all.
This is one I recently picked up lately that I love that not many people have probably listened to. Fits this vibe pretty well I think. www.discogs.com/release/20654806-Mod-Sun-Internet-Killed-The-Rockstar
