Hey @nathaniel1123

Unfortunately, if an artist has removed their music from Spotify, there is no way to listen to it on Spotify going forward unless they add it to Spotify again in the future.

The availability of music on Spotify all depends on permissions from rights holders, and they can update the rights they give to music services from time to time.
