I’m adding people that believe in communism/socialism and reflect this in their lyrics in at least several songs, i.e. they’ve made it their career to sing about socialism.
Please contribute more! I’m putting them in categories because there are many languages and different beliefs, but feel free to suggest your own categories!
Full commie:
- Vizzion [German rapper]
- Tactikka [German rapper]
- The Coup [US rap group]
- Immortal Technique [US latino rapper]
- Moscow Death Brigade [Russian-&english-language rap group]
- Xiangyu [Chinese language rapper]
Radleft but otherwise unsure:
- Manu Chao [French-Spanish rumba]

- Mano Negra [French-Spanish, Manu Chao’s ex project]

I can try to help but there are so many! Particularly punk (and its subgenres) bands
There are so many radleft punk bands that it would probably be easier to make a whole website just for them lol. I found this: https://rateyourmusic.com/list/Aurochz/socialist-and-communist-bands-and-artists/, not sure how accurate it is.

IDLES feel a bit leftist. Their albums Brutalism and Joy As an Act of Resistance are both pretty good.
Add the Korean People’s Army State Merited Chorus to “official AES bands”. They sing many lyrics about socialist construction and some about the fight for communism. And maybe the Moranbong Band fits in that category too, they have lyrics like this: invidious.snopyta.org/watch?v=Nzb3dqRaN_8
