Cool Local Rappers & Hip Hop Artists
San Jose has hella cool rappers and hip-hop artists. Confident performers, thoughtful writers, game spitters, and real ones that create street poetry to motivate the people and speak about life here in the South Bay Area. Yes, the SF Bay has boss players in the game, but San Jose is out here grinding and representing in a major way. Besides tuning into KSJS Ground Zero Radio to catch the ’Stop, Drop & Roll Show’, ‘The Lion’s Den', or the ‘Trap Hour’ on 90.5fm, you can find most of these SJ rappers on Instagram, some cool streaming platforms, or their own website.
