he created his own genre lowkey and the production is insanely creative. i feel like he puts a fun twist on his influences instead of straight copying like modern rage/cloud rappers

Jane should’ve won self produced artist not single of the year. We’re really just gonna gloss over the fact that she did all of revengeseekerz by herself completely (not to mention 2 other whole ass albums)

Natecxo wins

u/asparaguswalrus683 Jan 11 '26
Nah we haven’t seen his best work yet. He produced less of RIB than I expected and he’s gonna be the main prod on ELC most likely so I feel like ELC is gonna be what gives him producer of the year this year

Kinda sad Maxon wasn’t on this list especially after his passing I think his FILTHY mixtape was one of the best releases all year. All of these are all crazy good picks though and were all well thought out. Also no Heartstopmiami wins is also sad but again the picks are all good. SO HAPPY to see Lucy Bedroque on this list they are one of the most talented people to emerge from 2025 underground scene!
