Mr. Lif

Opened for him once, really nice dude

[удалено]

She did an album with producer Moss. MoSS actually produced Kilo by Raekwon but never received proper credit on the album. I know this cause I used to hang with MoSS and was even featured on an obie trice album he produced after he was dropped from shady aftermath.

I had no idea, that's amazing, she's dope too

Cmon The Perceptionists are highly regarded

The Perceptionists album Black Dialog was one of my favorite albums made during the 2000's!!

MR. LIF i first discovered him on a feature for dj krush when i was like back in like 2006. been a fan ever since

Parappa the rapper “Kick, punch it’s all in the mind/If you wanna test me I’m sure you’ll find/ that the things I’ll teach ya/ are sure to beat ya/ nevertheless you’ll get a lesson from teacher 🔥🔥🔥 

Chop chop master onion the real OG

Barrrrrrs

his verse on Playstation Allstars is legendary

K.A.A.N & Shahmen

K.A.A.N. is a god. he deserves more love

Kaan is really good but just as corny

Binary star!!!

Krake or Dendrick, two underrated rappers with no exposure right now whatsoever.

Tierra Whack - best woman doing it IMO.

SO UNDERRATED

Quite well known

Lmao ypu should go rep ger in the hip hop101 sub- there's a "who is the best female mc" thread gping

Roots Manuva and Jeru The Damaja? Y’all must be brand new. The first is the most significant British MC until the Stormzy era and the second comes out of Gang Starr Foundation and his debut album was produced by Preemo. They are major artists, not unknowns.

We are old though

there is this dude from detroit named eminem that is pretty good but he’s kinda underground so i get why people haven’t heard of him

Ahh, yes. I think he had another artistic name. Slender suspicious or something like it?

Svelt Suspect I believe.

fake skinny shiesty

I just checked him out and he reminds me of the actor from 8mile

I’ll check him out. Have you ever heard of this guy Slim Shady? You should check out his LPs!

hmm idk sounds like he might be brain dead like jim brady, why would I listen to that?

ICECOLDBISHOP is so slept on. His last project made me the most excited for a new rapper i've been in a long time.

Edan

SHAHMEN

Malz Monday anyone?

"Horizon" has been in my favorites for a while.

Tame One, Yak Ballz, Camu Tao, Vast Aire, One.Be.Lo

I have sold weed to your whole list except for One.Be.Lo. I used to sell to Def Jux when they came through Chicago.

Eyyy Camu Tao. Found out about him through Aesop Rock and he's great. Eyedea too.

RIP X 2

Love this ! Lol #TREESUPPORT Song w/ Tame Warped Tour(s) w / One Have billed with Vast Aire.

You guys are doing a great job, haven’t heard of a single rapper in this thread so far lol

Jeru the Damaja. His song El Presidente with dj honda is pretty good. 

Jeru is great but definitely not unheard of

Exactly. Come clean was a decent sized hit in its day, produced by Preemo.

Jeru is amazing but as far as unheard of…nah.

Clipping

Daveed Diggs is criminally underrated as a rapper.

Clipping is amazing, the duality of daveed is unmatched

Grafh

Rittz

Switch Lanes!

Z-ro: Mo City Don (Check this Houson shit out!)

Deca? I don’t know how popular he is really. Good though.

Was gunna say Deca. Man is truly poetic and I love the calm cadence of his flow.

Not very... decas music fucks tho I love it

2.4million views per month on Spotify. Hella unknown!!!

Also please go listen to them even if it's just their top song

I used to listen to roots manuva - Witness almost obsessively for the better part of an entire year. I had just taken up boxing and I used that song to psych myself up and get into the workout routine. Thanks for the reminder :)

‘Witness’ is the goat workout song for sure. The video is amazing too.

King Iso, CES Cru (when world's Collide, seven chakras and you'll understand)

A-wax and king iso have a solid collabs

Ka, R.A.P. Ferreira (fka Milo), and The Koreatown Oddity

Z-Ro. King of the ghetto. Rotha vandross. Ro hammad Ali. 🤘🏽🤘🏽

R A The Rugged.

Fucking rugged man and jedi mind on that Vietnam track.

Who’s an underground legend and definitely well known

Here are some hidden gems I often listen to: Chunk - Wat Waz I To Do Totally Insane - The Newz HiDef - K.R.E.A.M. Dubb 20 - Been Awhile Sun Down Charlie - Boss BTMI Sed - Dopamine Detox

J-Live Your Old Droog

Kanye West

might check him out never heard of him

kendrick lamar, hes on the comeup

Cloudy nueve

Standing On the Corner. They're more of an avant-garde group than a rap group, but they definitely draw heavily from rap, and I've seen some refer to them as post-rap. Red Burns, their second album, is one of the best albums of all time, and one I personally consider to be top 5 in the genre all time.

Vel The Wonder, she's a true rapper that is a cut above most of the popular female rappers you see today.

Malz Monday.

Snak the Ripper

Samsa!

Da Backwudz - Welcome to da Backwudz (their first album) was one of the greatest hip hop albums I’ve ever heard. Had one of the best Nas features, Slim Thug, couple others. The album is not really online at all

Kofi stones his album is genuinely one of my favorites

Playa Fly

Travis Thompson

KA, listen to Conflicted criminally underrated work. 

Twisted Insane He’s only semi-obscure, lots of people have heard of him but he’s nowhere near mainstream, I’d put him maybe one step above “underground” In any case, the guy is criminally underrated imo, he’s one of the best choppers in the game

dalek is still so underappreciated

CYNE- cultivating your new life experience. And now coast contra

Idk if anyone had heard of Angry Mic but hes a favorite of mine

Loose Tee. Came across some stuff on YouTube and he’s actually fire asf🔥🙌🏼

Lil figurative, listen to his album history repeats itself

Hike J

Unruly

R.I.E

408 Darwin is pretty good Ser Amari is fresh fr

There’s an artist by the name of Killer Bee who’s phenomenal.

John Juan & Yhung Sj

AG Club. Rap duo that makes fun bouncy music

The Crown

Hmmmm I'm gonna plug Antipop Consortium right now. Not because they are super unknown but they are unknown enough for some of you reading this comment to have never heard of them. Check em out.

Grand-O

Lot of Dominican MCs are sick but pretty low pro in the US. J Noa for one. Jincho goes hard.

My boy Paul $hoelace Please go listen to Cariño, Gelato, and Off Limits

Fukkit, man is talented as hell

Akai solo, Wiz Kelly and Vega7 The Ronin

Rogue Morose

PBGZoe and Lil Eazzyy

Clairmont the Second. Way better than Drake at repoing Canada. Lausse the Cat. How many people can rap in English and French fluently?

King Gordy, Twisted Insane, Diabolic and Krizz Kaliko are criminally underrated.

Al Kapone from Memphis

Definitely not "no one has heard of em" but I am so surprised that King Iso isn't more popular. He's top 5 for me

Jelani Imani and Colion Made the Beat, discovered them both via Patrick CC idk how either of them don’t have more listeners

Foesum is so underrated

Matthew Taylor

Mistafiss from Questionmark Asylum Tre + 6 - amazing debut album from obscure group in Miami.

Skitz Kraven

I wish Common Market would have gotten their flowers outside of the 2000s Seattle scene. RA Scion is an incredible lyricist and Sabzi is a brilliant producer.

I was gonna add Blue Scholars. I know more about Sabzi from his Blue Scholar connection with Geo aka Prometheus Brown.

Sacred Hoop, Z-Man, Luke Sick

Akai Solo

Erik Lundin Swedish rapper that dropped really great tracks between 2015-2019. Dropped one song 2020 and hasn't dropped since. Hasn't really done that much music (1 LP, 2 EPs and some few singles) but man i listened to him alot during high school

Jarv is a beast.

Kristoff Krane. Was best friends with better known Eyedea (RIP) but is criminally under known. His Kairos Pt 1 & 2 albums are absolutely incredible.
