The LA-based visual artist and designer Adam Jay Weissman produces music under the name Real Bad Man, and he built himself up as a prolific force within underground rap, making full-length collaborations with people like Boldy James, Kool Keith, and Pink Siifu. This year, Real Bad Man has been especially productive. Since 2025 began, he’s released four collaborative albums: Dear Psilocybin with ZelooperZ, Midnight with Willie The Kid, Conversational Pieces with Boldy James, and Everything Is Under Control with Knower’s Genevieve Artadi. All of those records are well worth your time, and I’d especially recommend Dear Psilocybin, one of my favorite rap records of the year. Now, there’s yet another Real Bad Man collaboration on the way.
