I've been looking for the Memphis equivalent of SpaceGhostPurrp for 2 years — finally found something close
Most trap production pulls from one of two lineages: the ASAP/cloud rap era or
the Brazilian phonk wave that blew up on TikTok. But there's a weird third lane
that almost nobody talks about anymore — that raw Memphis underground production
(Three 6 Mafia, DJ Squeeky, early Project Pat era) mixed with lo-fi textures
and early 2010s swag attitude. Not the drift phonk. The other thing.
Been digging through SoundCloud and small Spotify labels for months and found a
handful of producers actually working in that space. Put together a playlist:

(Artists: Towa, Zwe1hvndxr, lykia, cloudz, prodz.Otosan)
Who else is making this? Drop names or SoundCloud links — I'm trying to
understand if this is actually a genre or if I'm just obsessed with one very
specific sound.
