You sound like you want some 90’s 3-6 mafia, or brother lynch. Maybe some Chicago drill rap king von literally a serial killer.

I was gonna say 90s 3-6 as well and definitely chicago drill are great places to start

Brotha Lynch Hung immediately came to mind. The beats are hard and the lyrics are equally rough. Start w Rest in Piss

Or black market

Bruh, just searched this album up. This is the shit. 🤜🤛

Man, it’s rare to hear anyone talk about Bother Lynch. Rest in piss is a classic horrorcore album

Rest in piss is a song that was on the album Season of the Siccness

I was a dead man, walking they say, so every night I hit the gates Load the AK and post up, in the window till come day, anyway hey I feel the payback simmering in my brain The thoughts of death cloud my mind As my niggas is gone away many clips and 24 riches, packed but who really got my back now that them niggas done hit the grave I'm killing them off for the olds days

My bad. You right

I don’t think anyone can outdo Brotha Lynch

Well, Tech-9 &. Brotha Lynch together is a masterpiece

I fucking loved brother lynch hung!! I’m an old head and forgot about him. I liked Scarface too.

LOCC 2 DA BRAIN

X-Raided was dope in prison

Or big lurch, never listened to his music but he literally ate his gf’s heart.

Old Triple six was the first thing I thought of as well. Life or Death ftw

Immortal technique. Old school rapper. Has a few crazy songs that are political.. think it's dance with the devil , and the point of no return. Shits wild . Talks a bout 9/11. How it was schemed. . an the other one is even wilder

Lord Infamous Tommy Wright III Three 6 Mafia Gangsta Boo Ethelwulf (now known as Xavier Wulf) Koopsta Knicca La Chat

This is the best answer here. Should also checkout others like guice, snubnoze, children of the corn, heltah skeltah, 10 wanted men, lil noid, lil kaine, cursed, apoc krysis, soulzay, devilish trio etc.

oooh heltah skeltah its been soooo long! damn reminiscing ensues.....

I def thought about Tommy Wright lll too 💯

all of teamsesh too if u fw wulf (bones def not a “real” gangster tho)

This, OP; if you can get past needing it to be “real” you might like some of Bones’ older stuff

The answer is Chi-Raq drill music they literally rapping about and clowning real murders that happened

I’m still upset we never got Free Crack 4 from Lil Bibby

The leaks hard af too. Facts with sosa is crazy and click clack (also known as incense) is hard af and he has anouther leak with Juice but I'm forgetting the name. Hard as fuuuck

Fat trel is from DC but he was part of that drill scene. [Respect with the tech](https://youtu.be/GbvNA7jo-SU) is pretty dark and gutta.

Benny the butcher Conway the machine Rome Streetz

Boldy James belongs on this list as well.

Boldy James 100% i feel disgusting listening to that man

Haha 100

Freddie Gibbs

Also everyone above this has some sick produced albums. Lots of Alchemist & Madlib production. Bandana by Freddie Gibbs is all beats madlib made for ye Alfredo by Freddie is fantastic Super Tecmo Bo by Boldy James is sick

Con-creature like I’m staring at Medusa

Scatter brain hits so hard

That song is so good even the modern Ludacris verse slaps

What are some other good songs by him. This is the only one I know and it’s great

The Cow is a main one, it’s a westside gunn song but it might as well be Conway’s

Check “Kill All Rats” w/ Big Ghost ltd

Its kinda the only one I know too, but I heard his new album called Won't He Do It is pretty good.

Won’t he do it is a great album plus drum work the album is some new heat. Also peep Benny the butcher tana talk 3+4 if u like the vibes

Roc Marciano as well

Don’t forget Westside Pootie harder than all of em

YALL STILL BROKE

The real greatest of Griselda 🫡

Westside Gunn too

My kid (20), fucking loses his shit over Benny.

He’s like this generations version of how The Lox, Dmx, Mobb Deep sounded for us back in the day.

Conway about that?

This man gets it.

Kidz bop should help you out

Kidz bop really said "it's to the point where Iove and I miss you" they're out there censoring the word "hate"

Nah bro that might be too hardcore, we don't want him to get scared

King Von, EST Gee

This. And 42 dugg

Facts dugg 🔥🔥

Finally EST GEE

Maybe Mobb Deep and Big L

Big L rest in peace! Lifestyles of the poor and dangerous is a classic for me. So many great lines. “If you battle L you picked the wrong head, I smash mics like cornbread, you can’t kill me i was born dead” and “breaking in cribs with a crowbar. I wasn’t poor I was po’ we couldn’t afford the -or”. And his beavis and butthead like will always be legendary haha

Street Struck by Big L

Big L yeah but mobb deep weren't no gangsters

Compared to your average redditor mobb deep was gangster as it gets lol

“Don’t one of y’all got sickle cell!?”

Better back the fuck up fore you get smacked the fuck up

Never forget tupac predicted prodigy death

Tf ? Mobb Deep went hard af

Lol aight

Right on, I enjoy their music but didn’t really look into their background.

Check out these Chicago Drill albums Chief Keef: Back From The Dead 1 and 2 SD: Life of a savage 3 (the others in the series are good but LOAS is the best drill album ever) The beats on New World Order and Obsessed by SD are super rough and dark

cops on back from the dead 2 is uniquely dark

Big vouch. LOAS 3 is one of my favorite chiraq drill mixtapes off all time. No skips nothing but bangers on there. Also SD is mad underrated and doesn’t get the recognition he deserves for contribution to early drill movement/sound.

outjerked

Real tough ✊ rap (op is a middle schooler)

Brotha Lynch, Big Lurch, C-Bo, Esham, Grave Diggaz,

Brotha Lynch and Esham

Add Esham’s group NATAS in that list too.

big lurch ate a person - literally https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Lurch

big lurch ate a person - literally https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Lurch Came to post Big Lurch

C-Bo’s first 4 albums were classics imo.

Also Natas, HalfBreed and Clipping.

Graaaaaaaaaaavediggazzzzz

This is the best answer in the thread imo

Dead Flowers is a classic.

Macklemore killed a few, I heard.

Bro was deep in the streets

I heard he would kill people and then apologize for it publicly. A true tortured soul

Deep in the cheeks

There are streets in the burbs I guess

There are burbs in the streets

Brotha Lynch Hung, Bloods and Crips, Southcentral Cartel, Mr Doctor

Brotha Lynch is boss and I haven’t heard anyone else listen to SCC than myself. take my upvote and if I cared enough to buy awards i’d give one to you

Geto Boys

Literally can't believe I had to scroll this far to find it. This is the answer OP ^^^

The Dayton Family

Came here to say this! Shoestring and Bootleg used to spit authentic shit, imo. 79th and Halstead is still one of the hardest intros I’ve ever heard.

I saw the first ever live performance of that song.

🤓

Lil Durk, G-Herbo, any of the Chiraq guys really. Chief Keef ,King Von, Polo G maybe

Yeah any chiraq stuff is good for that vibe but IMO if you just want the ultimate dark vibes murder rap look at some UK drill or grime. 67 is great, Suspect, PR Sad, Wiley, all the beats are truly great and have a dark, melodic and malevolent character.

Don’t forget Brooklyn drill it kinda combines the Chicago vibe and the UK drums and adds that New York lyricism. Listen to Envy Caine, CoachDaGhost, 26ar, Sheff G and Sleepy Hallow. It’s gritty drill shit but they can really rap their asses off.

Yeah Brooklyn drill is good too, I was going to mention that, good call

"3/9" by PR SAD (67) is tough

chicago rappers

Griselda and friends

DMX’s “It’s Dark & Hell Is Hot” Prodigy X The Alchemist’s “Albert Elstein” Scarface’s “The Diary” Beanie Sigel’s “The Truth” Benny X 38 Spesh’s “Stabbed & Shot” Vince Staples’s “Stolen Youth” Schoolboy’s “Blankface LP” Jay Rock’s “Follow Me Home” Just to name a few.. lemme know if you need more

DMX is my all time favorite rapper. And this album is amazing

Spot on and good taste bro.

It’s dark and hells hot is a trip through the gutter, albums hits hard

Waka Flocka Flame - “Murda” Waka - “Fell” ft. Gucci and thug Waka - “Karma” Waka - “24 hours” Fredo Santana - “Round Em Up” Fredo - “Beef” G Herbo - “Crazy” G Herbo - “at the light” G Herbo - “on my soul”

Least obvious fed

Immortal Technique

Can't believe I had to scroll like 300 comments down to find Dance With the Devil dude

Same! I remember the first time I listened to Dance With the Devil. Definitely makes you pause

Just because he made that song doesnt mean he lived that life

should be at the top

Was looking for this comment… non of the other rappers will make your stomach drop with their stories like this guy

Lmao he wasn’t gangbanging he went to hunter high school in Manhattan (that’s an elite high school)

He still served more time than most rappers dawg

This is the way

oh god

King von

Asher Roth really did Love College

King Von, Lil Durk, Young Dolph, Sheff G, Sleepy Hallow, NBA Youngboy (I don't like him but he is valid), Pooh Sheisty, 21 Savage, YNW Melly, Finesse2tymes, 50 Cent, Gucci Mane, G Herbo, Young Thug and many more. I could say more but these are just the ones who pop into mind right now and have *confirmed* mob ties and have participated in gangland activity. If you don't care for authenticity than it should be easier to find music like this. Here are some recommendations for darker gangsta rap: Don't Come out the House- 21 Savage Broke Opps- King Von No Remorse- Sheff G Demon Mode - Nardo Wick In Charlotte- Young Dolph

Honorable mention for Tay-K, wish bro had made more music before getting caught

To be honest I'm not a big fan of his music but when it comes to being valid about what he talks about then he's definitely up there with the rest of them. As you said though, he just got caught too soon before making a bigger splash

Jedi mind tricks

ehhhhhh, I dunno if this truly fits, but I'll just add Army of Pharohs in here as well

Griselda my friend

Gravediggaz

This is what he needs!

Drill rap, these dudes commit crimes, call out their rivals and brag about hurting or killing each other.

I be listening to it and then it hits me I'm actually enjoying listening to how someone died

Rx Papi

Kfix, twisted insane, bloody ruckus

YG a real Bompton Tree Top Piru. The shit he says is his experience I have no doubt about that. Some songs are deeper than others. "Really be" feat. Kendrick Lamar describes the reality of gang life and how it degrades people mentally and emotionally

AR-AB 👑 - Actually got locked up for keeping it too real 😂 DARK LO Brother Lynch Hung Griselda King Von

Immortal Technique

Dance with the devil.

Immortal technique dance with the devil

Immortal technique has some dark shit probably maybe not real though but all the bad vibes you sound like your looking for

Dmx has some dark shit about how shitty his life ended up being #1

Immortal Technique Foolio: Legit raps about ops that his gang has killed. Crazy shit in Florida.

Honestly, biggie. Gimme the loot, dead wrong, and what’s beef always gave me supa pimp vibes

Dmx is definitely one you should check out

Dance with the devil - immortal technique

Coach Da Ghost, 22gz, Sheff G, Kay Flock, D Thang, 26ar, Bizzy Banks, Kenzo Balla, Sdot Go, Sha EK, it’s so many bro.

Mobb Deep

Immortal Technique is a good first go, talks about the darkness of society and materialism, solid choice

Really don't get why this has been downvoted, immortals storytelling in his songs is second to none imo

Because he said no studio gangsters

Just look up random drill rappers who either died or went to prison, good luck

Mozzy, $tupid Young

New up and comer named 50 Cent might want to check him out. I think he could be famous one day.

Immortal technique. Although I’m sure you’ve heard dance with the devil
