What Is "Stop Sleeping"?
Basically I'm just going to reccomend artists or albums that you might not have checked out. Most of these will be Hip-Hop recommendations, as that's the genre I mostly listen to, but I'll try to keep them appealing to a broader public.
Aesop Rock, not at all associated with A$ap Rocky. Anyway, this guy is one of the most interesting artists I've heard. Most of the time, I'd swear he was just spitting out gibberish that kind of almost makes sense. Despite this, he can really tell a story, as shown on his song No Regrets. Unfortunately, he doesn't have that great of a discography, he has a few mediocre albums. But Labor Days is well produced and just a good album in general, and probably his best. Most of his other album are kind of cheap copies of Labor Days, but None Shall Pass is a good album too, as he tries to take on a more legible delivery.

So, I always thought violins were really cool instruments. The way they sounded were always relaxing to me. And I also really like ambient electronic music. Also, video games. If you're still interested, let me introduce you to Lindsey Stirling, an Electronic Violinist who remixes video games songs (as well as composing her own pieces). She always has interesting and unique and is just a fantastic violin player. She has a version of a Zelda theme called Zelda Medley and if you like, get her self titled album.

Stop Sleeping #18: Organized Konfusion

Organized Konfusion is a clustefuck of alternative old school style beats and rhythms with extremely talented MC's, Pharoahe Monch and Prince Po. They have a way of making upbeat music but still making it something you can just listen to while studying. Honestly. every one of their albums is great, but if you want some place to start, I would highly recommend Stress. It is the epitome of their sound, and a very good album. Other albums include their self titled and The Equinox.

Time Hecker is an ambient electronic artist. His beats are kind of minimalistic, but he pulls it off incredibly well. He is great to listen to if you just want to fade away for a while. His beats are just pleasant to listen to, causing constant fission. I don't even know what else to say, just listen to his albums. Harmony in Ultraviolet is a great place to start and one of my favorites.

The Weeknd is a must have for anyone who enjoys R&B. His voice is great, his voice is great, his tapes are great. He's been getting a lot more recognition lately, mostly for his work with rapper Drake. He has three tapes, House Of Balloons, Thursday, and Echoes Of Silence, and they are best listened to in that order to see his growth as an artist. Echoes of Silence is arguably his best lyrically, but I think the beats and vocals on House of Balloons make it a more enjoyable listen.

Vince Staples is best known for his works with supergroup Odd Future. Honestly, he's not that great as a rapper. Despite this, he has a great ear for beats and knows how to make them sound good. With his choice few producers, Vince Staples makes music that's only slightly reminiscent of Odd Future, with dark beats and darker themes. Check out his mixtape, Shyne Coldchain Vol. 1.
