Im trying to expand y'all minds and horizons, so I want the vets/mods and everyone to drop names with songs and record titles if possible aswell of artists who maybe people haven't heard of as much as the usual suspects. It's not really a "underrated" or "underground" thread because there's plenty of underground cats who get love eg. Ras Kass, Pharoahe Monch etc.. even though it's no enough :-(.
K-Os, here we go I recommed that anyone who likes emcee's spanning from dead prez to Ras Kass, to give Canada's best kept secret K-Os a go. His got a new record out and it's really impressive, not as good as his debut though.
Icarus, straight from Brooklyn this cats got flow. His recent mixtape "Tha City Iz Mine" was pure flames. Dude's got mad potential, picture Redman crossed Jigga with abit of own flava added. Not as good as the previous emcee's from BKLN (eg. Biggie, Kane, Jigga) but his got alot going for him and a big stamp of approval already from some of the heavyweights.
Papoose, people saying his the 2nd coming of 'Bis. His unique in his own right. Could be big, but his shit might pass over alot of cats heads. Can someone drop some songs names? I actually need to hear more from him myself, im fiending.
Bumpy J, people are calling him the best thing from Chi since Twista and Kanye West. Ive personally not heard a single song from him, but have heard various verses. His got game.
Old school emcee's to check;
Kwame The Boy Genius. Dude dropped a classic back in the day, beefed slightly with Biggie and I never heard of him again. However his worth a listening to. You might be pleasantly surprised.
peace.
