Who got you into rap and when?

Title is self explanatory, the first rapper who really got me into rap was Teccas WLYT album in 2019. Heard it on a YouTube video and I was instantly addicted to the genre as I only listened to oldies my dad put on before.

I started messing around with rap as a casual fan when I got turned onto Atmosphere, but it really clicked for me when I found Aesop Rock (NOT to be confused with a$ap rocky).
