Nebraska Rappers, Part 2: Who I Missed

Version one of the Nebraska rappers guide had 14 artists in it. I said when I posted it that I knew I forgot people. I did. A couple of them came back to me before the post was even cold, and more came in through my DMs, which is what I asked for.

So the guide has been updated. Ten more names are in it, twenty-four total, and the full entries live there now. This post is the short version, the record of who got added, with a link to each one.

These lists are subjective, obviously. Music taste is subjective, and every list like this gets its pushback. And really, who am I? I am not an A&R. I am not some big shot at a massive record label. I am just one dude listening to music, writing about a scene I love. It was not kind to me in the beginning. We worked our way in. Some of these people I have shared the stage with. Some I have only heard about. Some I have never met. A lot of them do real work for the culture and for their community, and that is part of why they are on here. Technical ability matters too, and it plays a big part in who made this list. If you are not on it, that does not mean you are not good. If I have not heard your music, or have not heard of you, that does not mean you are not skilled. It just means I have not heard you yet.

EDDIE North is Omaha, out of the Culxr House collective with Marcey and J. Crum. His album Hell of a Life got nominated for Album of the Year at the Omaha Entertainment and Arts Awards.

Gdot Savo is South Omaha. Start with The Soul EP and Pain Song. In October he dropped Vyvanse, and the hook on it is catchy. I like that one.

Griff is Lincoln. He started at 15, co-founded InnerAbyss, and his music lives on YouTube right now. He is a homie and I forgot him, same as the rest.

Jxhnny Bliss is Lincoln, born and raised here, fifteen years and six albums in. He played the Bourbon Theatre the night of the King Iso show, May 10, 2025, on the same bill as Anthony, the Cones, and me. Start with Painted Smiles. Crucified is the one I really like.

Paintboy KD is Lincoln. A national blog called him the voice of Lincoln back in 2020, and he put out FDB (First Day Back) this year.

Remody is Omaha. He sings and raps, somewhere in the Lil Peep lane. I have mixed some of his songs, mastered his most recent ones, and produced a track for him.

Snake Lucci is Omaha, building since before most of this list started. He started Snakehouse Records in 2004 and executive produced King Iso's debut.

Static Soul is out of White Cloud, on the Iowa Reservation. He is Ioway and Choctaw, an MC and a producer, and he is my homie. His debut solo record is Souliloquy, and he played the Music Box here in Lincoln in October.

Steezthepilot is Lincoln. He works with me, and he is Jxhnny Bliss's homeboy. He kicked off the Lincoln Exposed hip-hop set at Duffy's in February and held his own.

Taebo tha Truth is Omaha. Plenty of people know him as Boogeyman Bo. He just spent October on the road with King Iso. Start with Take It Personal. My favorite of his is I Aint Trippin.

The guide is the list now. It started at fourteen, it stands at twenty-four tonight, and it will keep growing in that one place.

If I missed you again, say it in the comments. I will keep building it. That was always the deal.
