I’ll start off with those that are just starting to grab some major media attention, (shame on you if you haven’t heard of them yet!) and as for those who’re on the ball with hip hop, as you scroll down impatiently, you may notice a few artists you havent heard of yet! I provide links to youtube or mixtape download sites, but when possible, hit up some torrent or file sharing sites to search for their full projects. I do not claim to know all the great underground artists of course, so thats where you come in, I want to hear as many new names as possible. Delving into underground Hip Hip is extremely exciting, I hope you enjoy the following reccomendations!

Unsigned Hype
