In light of the recent posts on underrated hip hop artists, here's my contribution.

Some of my favourite rappers/hip hop artists that not everyone has heard of.

Watsky

One of my all time favourite rappers. Watsky has a university degree in English, so his flow is always on point. You may recognize him from Epic Rap Battles of History. Some of my favourite songs of his:

Whoa Whoa Whoa - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVQOhIVcMj0
Moral of the Story - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0M1L15hpphQ
IDGAF - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOfIDtvfmqg
A New Kind of Sexy - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=131mogMpo5E
Kick Monday - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLSg88SRYH8

Lil Dicky

Lil Dicky is just now starting to get gain some popularity, but none the less I feel like not enough people know about him. He often makes 'joke' style rap, but switches it up and makes fire serious raps too.

Flames - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxqgcGvi-Jo
Spontaneity - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFNq9FdG5_g
Classic Male Pregame - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Je1nn2-y3cw

Kyle (SuperDuperKyle)

Kyle is a rapper from the west coast, he raps about hugs, and fruit snacks (if that tells you anything about him). That said all of his songs are amazing, and he remains one of my favourite rappers since the first time I heard his music.

Just a Picture - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAmkHypH_-A
Really? Yeah! - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=knkOOkvaceA
King Wavy - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCsWtQkiD74
Kepp it Real - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qhei5QrLihs

Spose

Spose is a rapper out of Maine who often favours acoustic instrumentals in his music. Most of his music is happy and fairly 'feel good' but some songs hit pretty hard in the feels.

Nobody - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHqiATVuxnA
Pop Song - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rqq4Mw_55SE
Knocking on Wood - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tuqR3oZjZa8

Chris Webby

Last but not least we have Chris Webby. Webby has (in my personal opinion) the best flow in the rap community, despite not quite making it to a level of fame where many people know his name yet. His studio album stuff is really good, but definitely give his older mixtapes a look too (my personal favourite is webster's laboratory).

So Eazy - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4EVt21zKCU
Bars on Me - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjATuzjBxuk
Bowser - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RYHrnk8ndY
