Underground LA Artists

[Rayvo the Daygo]

IM from the bay and I know of hundres and hundres of underground rap artists from sac to san jo. La is the biggest gang related city in the nation there gotta be alot of underground rappers . can anyone shoot me a list of artists cds years they dropped..thanks

 

[Rayvo the Daygo]

damn no underground artists from la ?

i've been wondering about the LA underground too for a long time.
but vamps once said that LA doesn't have this big independent underground scene the bay has because it's a company town and everybody and their momma is trying to go major on the first chance.

u got the Project Blowdians.....they have albums...but its hard to find them....cuz theyre real underground...most of their cds are misnamed and burned...and theyre not bootleggs...the artists sell them....but u can download their shit....look for project blowed, c.v.e., freestyle fellowship(they got albums out that can be found), a team, p.e.a.c.e., rifleman, eastside bastards, of mexican decent, 2 mex and so many more.....

Don't forget anything coming out of Area 51.
And LA does have a big underground scene. I think LA has one of the largets and best underground scenes in the US. ]
Project Blowed is tight in my opinion..

Check out some of these local LA underground Acts:
Outskirts, Dirty Unit, Traveling Circus, Otherwise, Triune, Phaze Roc, and don't forget... Real Skillz, MC Random, and KNVRS.

And hit up Sessions every Sunday Night at The Echo.

Tonight:

Phil Da Agony, resident DJs C-Los, GabeReal, and Mark Luv.
We've already had Pete Rock, Mykill Meirs, Talib Kweli, DJ Babu, LMNO, OMD, Burning Star, and most of the Living Legends including Scarubs record release.

thanks for tha info.
but i think most of the artists you named are hip hop underground is that true?
i know there is a large hip hop scene comin out of LA, that's all we hear of out here in germany.
but are there underground rappers coming with that street style of rap like in the bay?

 

[ManOfBeer2K2]

Project Blowed is street as fuck....theyre some gs....C.V.E./Eastside Bastards...Freestyle Fellowship theyre gd up....dl some of their shit.....

We used to have a huge underground scene here. I don't really pay attention to newer rap cuz it sucks but here's a list of some really overlooked L.A. gangsta/street rappers, some that still rap, some that don't.

Boss
C.E.B.

Every rapper/group I listed comes with heat. That's whats different between L.A. and the bay. You might have hundreds of different rappers droppin' cds every year but how many of those are actually worth listening to? Quality not quantity. I'm not saying that the bay is weak because some of my favorite cds are by rappers from the bay but the market up there is saturated with garbage.
