I have no idea who any of them mofos (bolded) are. put me up on something
Sha Stimuli: Been on my radar for a minute.People are just now listening to him I was listening to him since 02-03. Allhiphop use to put his music up all the time. I heard of him around the same time I heard of Gravy,and The Game.Has a lot of mixtapes out,and I mean a lot. I think he put out 7 in 2008.
Termanology

uerto Rican from Boston. Could straight spit. Go listen to "Watch How It Go Down" Produced by DJ Premiere.
Soul Khan:Grindtime, King O The Dot, URL he battles everywhere. Jewish dude. Super dope. Here is the thing he can actually make dope music too.If you visit HIPHOPDX.com they actually put up his crew Brown Bag All Star's music. He is extremely talented.
Skyzoo:Skyzoo does not really change his flow like Jadakiss. In return he has deep concepts,witty wordplay,and seems more natural on records. You could listen to any of his mixtapes,and be pleased.
Ab-Soul: I went to high school with dude. He is in Top Dog along with Jay Rock. Dude is better than Jay-Rock. You can listen to his mixtape Long Term. Vol 2 drops this month. He also has been featured on allhiphop,and hiphopdx (On a side note he said he will not do a diss record for Jadakiss because he is a legend)
Kendrick Lamar: Another Top Dog emcee. Kendrick is more than likely the most versatile emcee I have heard in the last decade. He can spit bar for bar with ANYONE. He can change his flow,and delivery any time he chooses. He is real witty.You can peep the "No Sleep Til NYC" Mixtape he did with Jay Rock (which also features Ab-Soul heavy) Kendrick is more than likely the best rapper you have never heard of if you aint heard of him. He also has been featured heavily on ALLHIPHOP, and HIPHOPDX
Kida: I just heard of this dude. I been listening to his music. He is from Inglewood California. He is down with Aftermath Producer Focus. Dude is a throwback to lyricism. He gives me a vibe of an authentic artist who can adapt to modern times. If he does not blow up I will be surprised. HE was HIPHOPDX next artist recently.
Taje: Dude from Hawthrone California. I got put on to him through Bishop Lamont Music. Dude is raw.
Bad Lucc: He is from Watts California.More people know him from the group Western Union with Damani. First time I heard dude rap it was on a hood DVD floating around the LA area. After I saw that I started listening to his music. Dude is raw,his delivery is perfect,and he is a real humble dude.
Roscoe Umali: Filipino dude. I heard him on Sway and Tech. His flow is honestly one of the best I ever heard.What lead me to hearing him on Sway and Tech was back in 07 on Myspace they had one of his songs as a song on their page. I never heard of dude. I went to his myspace saw he was Filipino it was crazy. (on a side note Roscoe Umali,Jay Rock,and myself all smashed the same chick I think The Game might have smashed her too)
Bambu: Filipino dude from Watts. First time I heard of him I wa sin High School,and a friend had his cd. I was like Filipino's can not rap. He was the first Filipino I heard who could get off.He is extremely conscious but nothing about his style is backpacker. Imagine Busta Rhymes rhyming about how the government is fucked up. He also had some ill ass concepts on that album. Dude is straight amazing. Can also tone down his aggression to deliver melodic songs. One of the best I ever heard period.
Dumbfoundead: Grindtime,WRC,King Of The Dot yeah another dude who battles. Dude is from Korea Town,and is WELL KNOWN THERE. He tours a lot on the underground scene. Actually has a chance to blow because he is Korean,and can out rap most emcee's Period. Everyone cares what other rappers think so Jay Electronica endorses dude. The Alchemist thinks his battles are amazing. Dumb's songs are also crazy as well.Him being Korean does not matter. I use to run into Dumb everywhere in LA. Back in 05 he was at EVERY LOCAL SHOW I WENT TO. He is a genuine HIP-HOP Head who could spit.
Sly Boogy: Wow you can look up "Rediculous" Ft Saigon...that will tell you everything you need to know
Dirty Birdie: Sly Boogy Cousin. Dude could spit just as dope as him. I could post up what he did on the Wake Up Show if I can find it.
Locksmith: One of the best Bay Area artist out there. He disliked Hyphy as much as the rest of the nation. Lyrically he is just ten times better than Jada.
Kid Vishis: Royce Da 5'9 little brother. Go listen to any song they did together. It will be enough said.
Vakill: Best wordplay I have heard in a while. I heard of dude because someone told me he killed Ras Kass,and Royce Da 5'9 on separate songs. I listened,and he did.
Marvwon: Any one who has the Eight Mile DVD with the extras know who he is. HE battled Eminem when Em mic was not working. He is on a couple songs with heavy Detroit Spitters. He is well known there. Says he gets checks from being on that 8 mile dvd every month. Really dope spitter. Was battling in Proof's league while he ran it. Does battle in Grindtime was in WRC back in 07.
Sonny Bamboo: Battled in a lot of leagues. Grindtime midwest president. His music is super dope. His delivery is amazing.
Quest McCody: Another Detroit spitter. Was Marvwon partner in the WRC in 07. His music is A LOT better than I thought. Go listen to "The Light Project" or "Ctrl,Alt,Del" there is a vol 1 an d2 for that
Ness Lee: Rapper/Producer. He is an internet head. I am surprised he is not signed up to this forum. Basically he battles on Grindtime now,and revealed that Universal is on the table. Only reason they did not sign him earlier was they wanted to know if he had developed his own fan base. They see he is on Grindtime,and threw him a deal. His music is amazing. Lyrically he is better than a lot of dudes who rap,and produce. I hope he gets his shot.
Maybe this will dismiss the I am just putting names because I could break down all 103 dudes like this BY THE WAY. I could have went more into detail but these guys are really worth checking out.
