Recommend me some 94-99 Underground Hip-Hop

Post by Bongloid »

I thought I knew hip hop having collected it from back in 1991 but lost interest round about the times of the last Biggie album and Neptune’s early stuff. So I guess 1997 ish

But randomly clicking on you tube videos I came across these



Street Smartz - Problemz




Shadez Of Brooklyn - Change



Thrust - Do You Understand (SCAM Remix)



Innersoul - Its The Right Time



Can anyone recommend or even upload a folder of this underground jazzy type stuff. :cheers: :upload:

Nice one bad-cop will check em out.


And Big ups on these London

the `Bushwackas - Caught Up in the Game` is just what I`m after

I gotta lot of the rest already. I was after the more unknown type of groups or mcs.

I don’t know if its labelled independent hiphop or backpacker hiphop.

I probably should go through the stretch and bobito show from those years.

Thanks again

Unsure if you're after "backpacker" type songs or underground rap in general...but here's some stuff I've been jamming lately:

Illa Ghee drops science over Havoc production...#RARE



Dope Wu-related shit from an underrated album.



Couple of West Coast joints from the turn of the 'aughts:





Some hip hop from Nashville:



:iceedit: Just saw your post Bongloid. Nevertheless give some of this stuff a shot, maybe you'll dig...

I feel the best bet would be to just start checking mixes from those years your curious about, then use discogs and Spotify to research and compile more info on each artist. Depending on which content network you use, each artist you find will lead you to another in the same vein/era.

Some name that come immediately to mind are

Adagio!
N.O.T.S. Click
Rawkus Records
Shabaam Sadeeq
DJ Spinna
Polyrhymaddicts
J-Live
D.I.T.C.
Duck Down Records
Groove Merchantz
Ghetto Pros.
