It is a formula, one with a few basic ingredients: rhythm, attitude, melody, volume and an undying belief in freedom through a few well-chosen chords. Why make it any more complicated than that?
The Black Keys are serious about this, and on their seventh record, “El Camino,” prove it with 11 songs about love, lust, greed, desire, helplessness, heartbreak, or some combination thereof. They will never be a band whose gigs can irrevocably change you inside, but the Black Keys are really good and a lot of fun.

Bravery
As I am on the bus riding down to college station for our playoff game all I want to do is nap hard. So who do I turn to, uh duh the bravery. Great band, I love there music. It's very soothing and relaxed, perfect for napping haha. They might be like the typical alternative band but I mean the one word I think of when I think of them is bad ass. Prove me wrong I dare you.
Stevie wonder
After listening to Stevie wonder it makes me appreciate how talented this man really was. He can put together a piece of amazing music with a blink of an eye. He has a feel for muac and really has a passion for it. I honestly like his music for that very reason. I think he has rediculous vocals and is a great musician.

Frank ocean
R&B singer Ocean, an Odd Future member who has worked with Beyonce, Kanye West and Jay-Z. He is a very artist and I think his music is very good. He uses many different styles of music and incorporates them in his r&b/ rap music. He is one of my favorites and I enjoy listening to his music.

david bowie
David Bowie is widely regarded as one of the most influential writers of pop music. Born David Jones, he changed his name to Bowie in the 1960s. I enjoyed the music personally, at least what you showed us. Hes a very good lyricist and knows how to make his audience attentive. I like his music and think hes a very good musician.
rick ross god forgives, I dont
Although much of what he raps about seems to be a fabricated, fanciful lifestyle, it's clear that Ross has raw, undeniable talent; and enough confidence to show us how "bawse" he is, or claims to be. After dropping his mixtape, Rich Forever, which some regard as the best rap of the year, he's back this summer with the highly anticipated album God Forgives, I Don't. This album was one of his best, I think. He has some big hits in this album and usually rick ross wouldnt be one of my favorite rappers but he really did something good with this album.

2 chainz
The first things to know about the Atlanta rapper 2 Chainz are that he’s not a very good lyricist, his flow is a little clumsy and his phrasing is monotonous. A purveyor of a hip-hop subgenre known as trap music, which is typified by sparse but hard beats, synth clusters and frantic high-hat rhythms, 2 Chainz has a distinctive style that values bounce over brains, is created for clubs and not hipsters, and conveys its message simply and unapologetically. But you still have to give credit to him for being such a big icon in the rap industry.
