midwest underground hip-hop

[outspoken 10+ year member]

o.k., so i have been listening to binary star, and one be lo since 2001-2002... got to see binary at a show, (can't remember who else played), and saw one be lo a year later at a muslims for hip hop show... i have recently gotten back into the one man army heavily, and was wondering if anyone knew of any other undergrounders from the midwest i might check out along those lines... i already know about the obvious midwest cats like blueprint, brother ali, slug, etc... throw out some of the more obscure stuff if you know of any... for the rest of you i'll start a racist country western thread so yall' don't feel left out //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

I gave up rap, but my fav underground artist(s) come out of the Justice League. Little brother is STRAIGHT HOTTNESS and I hear skyzoo is gaining momentum as well.

i got all of that stuff in my collection allready, doesn't have to be midwest, i guess, i'm just really liking that sound right now that only one be lo has... i guess i'm looking for stuff outside of cali that only local to your area heads would know about. btw, if tribe called quest is underground, i'm getting too old...
