I'll try to mention things that haven't been in this thread so far.

Binary Star - For sure check them out if you like more upbeat NY style, they don't rap about your normal shit, but their good. I think I posted this sound in the "Rate the Song Above You" thread, but, he it is again anyways: Masters of the Universe it has a Wu-Tang (I think it's Meth, haven't listed to Wu-Tang much recently) in there, so I think everyone will like it.

Ghettosocks - Pretty good, I like him. Can't really point you to any songs, but check him out.

Scroobius Pip

I'll look on my i-Pod later today, but that's off the top of my head and I'm on a public computer.

hell yea conejo has some good shit to listen to when your on another level get me haha
 
cant believe tht theres a kid asking for hype raw shit and not one person has said cassidy or ar-ab. check em out man they go hard as shit
 
@law, i mean he had commercial success at one point in his career but now hes purely a mixtape rapper, to the OP download apply pressure 1 and 2 and ull be blown away. also the term "underground" is really played out, "underground" is simply a title created by artists to create hype around themselves
 
all im saying is tht anyone could label their shit "underground" its a pretty meaningless term really, i mean if it isnt meaningless then i'd like to hear someone define what it means...
 
Idk if he's still around, but back when I was into the underground hip hop, and rap DZK was tight as fuck.
 
Who likes underground hip-hop?

Rhyme Asylum are unsigned in London, I discovered them recently and they have fast become my favourite hip hop group of all time, and Possessed is the best MC I think I've ever heard. All their music is for free on youtube, uploaded by the band itself but here's a good place to start.

One of the most incredible story telling hip hop tracks ever.
 
do you live in London? if so, Dizzee Rascal is one of my favorite UK rappers, although I don't think he is considered underground no more. he has some sweet and unique beats, with that unique UK style and accent. he's collaborated with some artists who are rather out-of-the-box, like one of my fave bands the Arctic Monkeys
