I feel global political oppression or global wars usually produce great music but Macklemore might be the peak.

Nothing against him, some of his songs are good, but I expected real rage inducing stuff with everything going on. Or is this just the state of music as a whole?

Grandson’s new album seems to be shaping up to have those tones. First released tracks hit them pretty pointedly. He’s not as refined as some of the artists you mentioned, though.

didn't he do a collab with the rage against the machine guy? if it follows that general line its probably nice.

I actually just discovered that song by accident today lol. It was for a Venom movie? Weird collab but he’s always had a bit of the social commentary piece to him. This album just seems to be leaning more on the heavier sound.

Edit: OH! Hold the Line! I forgot about that one.

Those are the artist I am talking about. Not everyone will have a massive first album. Look at System of a down. Their second album is the start of their pure rage.
