The ULTIMATE Underground Rap Iceberg Explained 2

foreign ERS who you may know and some who you may not today we're going to be taking a look at artists who have not hit that mainstream wave yet and who they are this is part two of the underground rap Iceberg so if you missed the last one the link will be in the description so you can catch up and if you like this type of content I'm gonna use the suburb right now and like the video if I miss somebody you think needs to be in this Iceberg let me know down below so I can add them all right let's jump in [Music] as usual I'm always going to start out with my absolute favorite from each tier and it took me a minute to figure out who that would be and it ended up being a very close tie between David Shawty and jpeg Mafia David Shawty is from Seattle and was Raising around music as his dad played a few instruments and he learned how to play guitar when he was just seven years old he started rapping in high school not taking the two serious until he started getting into music as it was pretty prevalent and in its earlier days on Soundcloud so he began making his own listening to his newer music the contrast between that and his music from just three years ago is basically night and day his older music consisted of a much lazier delivery with a lot of production from Nila World members and a song that brought a lies on him Honda which is known as a closet today I would say his music is most definitely not for everyone as he does insane vocal chops pitching up and lowering his voice and the most experimental type songs you've ever heard to where you wouldn't even consider it music David can literally do just about anything and make anything sound good and he's extremely talented and versatile truly understand what I mean you kind of just have to listen to it for yourself but like I said it's not for everyone either way I'm a huge fan of it and I love all of it Space Ghost purp introduced me to slime Sito back in 2017 when he reposted one of his songs on Soundcloud and with tomfoolery had with thousand being funny slime seedo is just so important to so many artists careers that it's not even like funny he was Raising Prince George County Maryland then he moved to Georgia at just 13 he was kind of already in the streets so it's pretty prevalent in his music his first song he ever dropped solo was called yo no say back in 2016 and it genuinely isn't that bad for a first song for years slime see that has been combining the roots of the DMV with that Georgia sound and it makes him a pretty unique artist where most people just kind of enjoy how well it flows together after his first mixtape slime bz dropped he had eyes on him already because it was amazing for the time it dropped and it was in 2017. he worked with iconic producers on that tape such as Eddie Gianni a Mexico drone um reading on Reddit some people say he's like repetitive but I don't know me personally I enjoy his music and I love how gritty it is this man has been locked up more times than you can count them so I kind of just hope he stays at Jill and just keeps making music black cray AKA Sig boy Rory from Richmond Virginia AKA flexico is as usual a huge inspiration to so many artists and so many trims were set by him specifically he says he knew he was different when he was younger because he couldn't match clothes in school and he just quote unquote weird he started making music and dropping on MySpace which I tried to find on the way back machine but it was all gone pretty much he started terrorist Posse in 2011 with him and his friend which eventually turned into what we all know is goth Money Records he's collaborated with blade Space Ghost perp choppo and working on dime members I would honestly just say that if you listen to Black Craig you kind of have a really good understanding that music is more of an art form than just a listening tool as in most of his music if you want to know what he's saying you're gonna have to use genius overall he's still going strong to this day shouts out the flexco still struggling still shining he's a goat hey doing research on jpeg Mafia I just found out this Man's real name is Barrington like Barrington that's crazy jpeg Mafia began producing while in the military and formed a group called ghost pop while he was in Japan after he was honorably discharged in 2015 he moved to Baltimore and began using the name jpeg Mafia for his solo releases I seriously wish I could go into a lot of detail but it's just an iceberg he puts a lot of his political views in his music like with his lyrics but if you listen to his production and what he's really saying in his wordplay it's honestly insane he's definitely a very experimental artist and I kind of hate to say this because he's gone on record and said he hates being compared to them but he's on the same level as like Death Grips when it comes to experimentation who will also get into all in all he's amazing he's still going strong to this day and I wish he would just drop more music I understand that he probably just kind of has to Perfect The Craft before he drops it so his sound is way too refreshing and he's a legend Lil be the base God is undoubtedly a huge Legend throughout his whole career he's just been himself he came up in 2004 in the group known as the pack dropping songs that you would honestly think came out today he's pretty much the first real YouTube rapper as he was uploading his songs all the way back in 2007. sorry claims Casino worked with him back then as well and just Honestly made songs that were just ahead of its time he's mostly just known now for how unapologetically himself he is he literally recorded over 3 000 songs I am not lying I promise you look it up I'm leaving out a lot of stuff but just understand anytime little B is mentioned Legend has to be a part of that conversation thank you base God Diego money is an artist from Glendale Texas where he was raised by his mother and his grandmother inspired by the Migos and Chief Keef he began rapping in 2013 and since then he's been a staple for the scene in underground rap He was rapping on plug type beats way before most people were and to this day he still does collaborating with producers like Mexico Dro stupid cool and Polo Bush Audi just to name a few he stamped on Soundcloud as one of the artists that was ahead of it when he moved to LA he says after three shows he already had his wave probably what most people know him for is his feature on TK song got a blast even though I'm pretty sure that's his song I don't know shouts out to him though he's amazing icy [ __ ] is one of the most influential producers and rappers of Our Generation oh my God being a part of the whole Divine Council wave early on is a huge part of who I am to this day these guys made the smoothest music icy trout is from Chicago and he began making beats when he was just 14 years old his music is what I would classify as futuristic but it still has like Melodies and flows that kind of remind you of the 90s in the early 2000s he's worked with artists such as ASAP Rocky cardi and even Tyler the Creator there's not too much information on who he is as a person but with his drops over the years and his producer credits he's made himself a legend silk money is an artist from Richmond Virginia who was also a part of the Divine Council and had been since 2013 and is on the same line with icy Chua because he has that refreshing but classic delivery on most of his songs he sold stuff in Richmond up until he met the rest of the Divine Council and from that point on it was just history he was actually signed the Epic Records and actually received in advance for an undisclosed amount of money but they weren't able to recuperate it and ended up leaving the label his son my partner them took off on Tick Tock seemingly out of nowhere and to this day he will not sign in any labels that reach out to him because of his past experience with Epic Records he says he's heavily inspired by Jill Scott and he continues to make music to this day I really want to see more from him Lucifer is an artist from uh okay not too much is known about him as a person as he's done zero interviews so I just scrounged up what information I could kind of find most I can say about him without getting into all the weird stuff is that he made sigil Corps digital core is credited by fans and Reddit on Urban Dictionary as a sub genre of rap which is associated with the devil sigils and resonates with dark magic and Voodoo hex type music or as Tick Tock comments call it Roblox music it's closely along the lines of that weird like mix of hyper pop and dark trap I would personally say that Space Ghost purple is one of the ones who really originated the sound but I digress Lucifer has had many of his songs go viral on Tick Tock including body parts and cursed emeralds which has been sampled into the ground just to name a few his music is like many others on this Iceberg not for everybody and as in some songs he's literally putting a curse on you quote unquote and just Whispers over this weird satanic ass beat but I'm not gonna lie I'm a fan of it overall he drops a lot of music and if you want to get into a fair warning it's weird but it's good Wi-Fi guard is an artist from Washington DC who started rapping back in 2012 when he was a part of portal boys he says the music scene in DC was ahead of its time and he was a part of that wave he started out trying to get his music Push by going to colleges and throwing shows and performing his songs but he said he never really got too much love in his own City in the beginning of his career Earl's sweatshirt actually told him he listened to one of his earlier albums literally every day and he actually brought him out of the show back in 2019 in Baltimore since we know about Central Court now I can kind of say that he has elements of that sub genre and mixed it with like Cloud trap he's worked with black crate Oogie Mane and most of reptilian Club boys which we'll get into later he still makes music to this day and it's ahead of its turn time ghost Mane is known as one of the most popular alternative rappers but he hasn't really been a rapper for too long I would say as he's past the point of being a rapper because he's mostly on like a metal standpoint now as he used to be in a hardcore band back in 2014 he was early on that metal rap sub genre trap metal oh my God I hate using that terminology the type of BT raps on is like otherworldly like have you ever watched the anime Devilman crybaby remember those last couple of episodes where the world was pretty much ending ghost means music will like be the background music for all of that as most of the time elements behind this production are more industrial Than Rap related he was a part of the now defunct rap group schema Posse and it was an interesting art but with his style of music I kind of figured that wouldn't last too long I would also just like to say as far as Talent goes his delivery is insane like he's up there with like Ruby from SB Eminem trust me he raps really fast and has like insane word Play Don't Let the knockoff Marilyn Manson look fool you this [ __ ] can rap like better than most mainstream artists Echo 2K is a British Swedish singer and model and member of dragon gang his music is very experimental and it's like a mix of pop and rap he used to go by the name Malcolm six and it took him a while to drop his own project that everyone now knows is e the project was known amongst gen Z as a classic and granted I would kind of agree it's an okay project he has a cold-like fan base and as most of y'all know I'm not really the biggest fan of dragon stuff so you know moving on Joey is a rapper from Massachusetts who I definitely feel like I should have moved it's here lower because he's not super well known yet but he's on his way and he's ahead of the curb for sure like everyone is going to start copying this man two years from now watch if you guys remember Trill Funk back in 2016 he started uploading his music and videos there and had a sound that kind of reminded me of hella sketchy rest in peace and it was refreshing but not really too original at the time it definitely took him a few years to make his own wave of about 2020 I would say he was definitely there is song garbanzo blew up on Tick Tock because DJ Smokey has this insane producer tag that a lot of kids found entertaining and intriguing [Music] what most people who heard that sound didn't know is that the whole song itself is actually amazing Joey mostly raps about his extremely heavy drug use and combines his armors that extend Way Beyond just rap as in his song muskrat there's horror elements and honestly it isn't even just rapping like the production and the sound design gives it a more of an art form feeling than just a song especially with the music video being creepy as ill Joey is what I would consider future music as he never really tries too hard when he makes a song and yet it's better than a lot of new wave underground artists because it's actually original Isaiah TG is an artist from Ohio who creates an atmosphere when you listen to him like I'm not even sure how I would explain it you just kind of get this Transcendent feeling when you listen to Isaiah kind of like if you've ever thought about astral projecting I feel like that's the feeling his music conveys he was a member of sleigh world at one point and not even getting into every single beef this man has had overall the music itself is otherworldly and definitely futuristic he was a pioneer of that Echo Reverb delay effect on vocals that everyone thinks Summer started on RNs but Isaiah was doing it first most of his songs are punching freestyles as he says he's never wrote a song a day in his life when he left sleigh world he mainly said it's because they're internet personas would be completely different from how they were in real life he's taking many breaks for making music and says he would quit multiple times but overall Isaiah is amazing and I'm just excited to hear more from him so there isn't a lot of information about slay with me AKA sousy uh because they haven't done too many interviews so I just kind of went straight to them and asked them a couple of questions and he was actually kind enough to answer them slay with me is an artist from Chicago that would be in that dark pop hyper pop trap category oh my God if this [ __ ] is so cringy to talk about he got into making beats at first and the Beats were a little different since no one was hopping on them he actually just decided to hop on them so he had a song go extremely viral on Tick Tock name masquerade where most of the comments I found about the song people think it's a female because he just has a really soft voice but I think the virus reality of that song really just came from how hard the beat was and the lyrics 2023 of the Year y'all gonna hear and learn more about me this transcend just music I'm trying to speak to people's hearts we finna start a whole community and I hope to see more from them I really like him now van Pleak is insane I mean really really insane van pleek is an artist from Atlanta Georgia who yes we're not going a lot takes a bit of inspiration from cardi that's undeniable but they are from the same place so we can't really leave that out also he puts his own original spin on his music taking music series since 2020 he's grown exponentially sound wise and he's got a lot of tapes and albums that can't really be found unless you do some like traveler Ross type of research he's one of those artists where you can immediately tell his roots are from Atlanta and he has that gritty dark like nighttime sound with the whole vampire aesthetic behind him which I'm not knocking the kids like it I kind of like it it is what it is to be completely honest I'm not sure why he hasn't hit that mainstream wave yet because I feel like he has a song for everyone but also he said he wouldn't want to sign because he just wants to make the music that he wants to make and leave it at that shout out to him because I've been listening to him for about three years now and he's actually grown I asked him a couple of questions and here with was his response some [ __ ] that [ __ ] don't really know about me for real for real like as far as my interest and [ __ ] uh I'm really into Like Comics and [ __ ] like that real real like nerdy [ __ ] for real real lucky and nerd outside of music and [ __ ] the music I got into [ __ ] I got into the type of music that I'm making now like when I was like 14 15 I used to listen to like pop [ __ ] before then mostly pop [ __ ] for real and then I got like a like an iPod and then I got like some Chief Keef on that [ __ ] somebody somebody in school put me onto that [ __ ] and then I started listening like heavy Chief Keef for like damn near four or five years straight that was really all I was listening to and then I started getting into like thug and then I started getting into like future also I mean of course I listen to like Wayne and like Drake and [ __ ] way way back in the day but like not not through my own like you know [ __ ] it was like on the radio type [ __ ] yeah started off with just listening to Chief Keef high school and [ __ ] [ __ ] I realized how much bigger I got in Forever when I started traveling other states and [ __ ] and [ __ ] was like oh [ __ ] like you that leaf whatever whatever of course I don't go by that no more but yeah [ __ ] be like oh you found Bleak and [ __ ] like that's crazy I heard about you goddamn from this or from that like hella [ __ ] just be like I heard about you type [ __ ] so that's really how [ __ ] if I wasn't making music bro I'd probably be designing video games making clothes full time yeah that's another thing that I'm really into I'm really into uh fashion and [ __ ] [Music] because [Music] [Laughter] so an intro for sale Charlotte Waterboys really is not that necessary I mean honestly they solidified themselves as the most likely like ahead of time influential groups of all time I don't care what anybody says the influence on the Underground with these guys is insane as these guys pretty much inspired everyone literally I see the glazing comments coming down and you know what I am glazing I really am I don't care set shallow Waterboys is a group that formed back in 2013 consisting of Eddie Baker bones Xavier wolf and Chris Travis these guys combined their groups into one huge Powerhouse and they were Unstoppable for a minute sesh being a group of designers producers and artists were linked together with water Boys by Chris Travis healthy Boys by Eddie Baker and Hollow Squad by Xavier Woolf they collaborated on a lot of music together and to truly understand why they're so legendary it's just something you have to be there for or what makes even more sense is when Xavier said this it's gotten so like like deep now that there's Underground Music listeners out there now that don't like know us type [ __ ] but they they they know underground like they they they were you know they got pulled into it by some other random artist but it's like a it's like connecting the dots it started with us then they went here with these kids and then here with these kids and then here with these kids and by the time these kids started listening they only know these two kids like these two groups and they don't know where like started type [ __ ] so it's like but then some like more often than not like they'll be that one person to come along like oh you know who started all this [ __ ] right you know who you know who the [ __ ] unfortunately because of issues between Chris Travis and Xavier wolf it's unlikely this group will ever fully rekindle but at the time these guys were Unstoppable and their Mark is made Glock 45s or gl4 is I'll call in for this video is an artist from Decatur Georgia whose delivery is the carrying factor in this Artistry along with the beat selection by ATL Sensei I think that's his name like he's insane every V he makes is so catchy he's pretty new to the underground but he's made his way up very very fast thanks to tick tock and a rumor that he signed with opium but we definitely don't even know that we just have this tweet he began dropping music on SoundCloud as a kid and says when he first started he used heavy auto tune as D Savage used it frequently and he says D Savage is the reason he even started rapping okay like really the [ __ ] who really made me want to start rapping gotten on D7 be Savage yeah and I heard him some of his songs sounds like he literally recorded them like with Apple headphones but I feel like there's a beauty in the rawness of that he's been on the ride still and I believe him and his Associates at EBG records have a very bright future ahead of them his ass just need to stay out of jail [Music] Raider Clan is a collective started by Space Ghost purp that originated all the way back in 2010. absolutely would say this was the start of what we now know as the new age underground I know some of you nerds in the comments are going to disagree and that's fine just remember this is my opinion I don't care what you have to say radio Clinton originated in Florida and just about anyone you can think of that's been rapping since 2009 as an underground originator is a former member or tied with this group since Space Ghost purpose on this Iceberg I want too much focus on who he is as a person we'll just kind of get into that later space goes purple go on to draw Blackland radio 666 and with eyes on him he accumulated members such as ASAP Rocky Denzel Curry Xavier wolf Chris Travis young Simmy J green Eddie Baker lofty 305 and much more Raider Clan had a dark aesthetic about them that was just kind of intriguing to like the alternative youth at the time as around this time what most people were accustomed to was pretty Guerrero type wave that was making moves across America while these guys wore black barely seem to smile and had just gritty Dark lyrics that ranged across each other discography and collaborations with other members now the group as a whole didn't really last too long becoming defunct in 2013 after only three years of being active but they still solidified themselves as pretty much almost the most legendary underground rap Collective of all time yeah I said almost these guys got popular when social media was honestly at its peak Tumblr Vine early Instagram and early YouTuber key factors Tumblr probably playing the biggest role that's by this point on the internet Tumblr was a place for just heavy mood boarding which in short terms is just for the aesthetic and people appreciated their independence the downfall of raider Clan is by almost all accounts at the fault of SGP as he beefed with many or different artists even his own co-members as ASAP Rocky Denzel Curry and people who even weren't a part of it such as X puya and Ronnie J God lots of Florida going on here overall these guys influence ranges across mainstream music media down to somebody on Soundcloud which is zero followers these guys are legends and it's undeniable another legendary Collective but not as well known is Midnight Society my God I was so excited to talk about these guys originally starting with just kamiata and the amazing producer the virus and antidote these guys form what is probably my my favorite Collective of the underground Midnight Society with members such as rare Kuma [ __ ] it young Bambi trippy the kid KP young zela original God kale Killuminati the list just goes on these guys as a collective were a real deal Powerhouse starting back in 2015. these guys are like a spider web to most of the underground as the virus produced for bones on rest in peace X Chris Travis and siber AKA syringe rarakuma even worked with SB back in 2014. I mean these guys were everywhere these guys flows worked very well together and they actually did a link up and dropped one of my favorite Vlogs of all time dead in La without getting into the beefs just understand these guys were so amazing together and the time they had was just awesome I wouldn't necessarily say they're defunct as most of the artists still made music to this day but some artists have either gone their separate ways or from the group or just don't even make music anymore overall the time these guys had when they were on top was just something you really had to be there for I truly missed these days reptilian Club boys was an interesting Collective that can be credited as the true start of sigil Corps but that's debatable this group consisted of diamonds on my meat high C Cartier guard little shine lazy guy Marcy Mane list goes on as usual these guys were weird in a good way though I mean these guys sampled old video games like Castlevania as their prod tags they used really uplifting Melodies all the way to extremely demonic type beats and most of the artists across this roster there is always a sense of laziness and heavy Space Ghost influence in the vocals and the production but they still have their own sense of style that they added to it that even New Gen artists do to this day that these guys were doing all the way back in 2016. Unfortunately they are now defunct which is a common theme amongst these rap collectives as pretty much the head of the group diamonds on my knee has very very weird allegations and is definitely a confirmed like scammer I mean this man would drop merch and then people would buy it and he would just not ship it beside that's all that though the music that they made was amazing they all sort of still made music to this day low but RCB is just definitely not a thing anymore side note high C is literally one of the most talented artists of this generation he does not get the love he deserves y'all need to listen to that man weigh it more I9 Bonsai is a very very private person who doesn't really share too much information about himself on the internet either way his music is beautiful he pitches his voice up extremely high and most of his songs are wraps over New Age Cloud rap type beats and also makes what most people would be considered hyper pop but not the bad kind the good kind he has a song for pretty much every mood and his music isn't for everyone so don't go into it expecting something you've ever heard before since beginning in 2018 he's amassed over 20 000 followers on Soundcloud and he's still dropping music to this day and he's a very original artist and he's very versatile hopefully one day we'll learn more about him as a person but for now we just have his music and the story that it tells us Hook's fine ass is a rapper from California who started rapping in 2016. she calls herself hook because her stepsisters and her were in the r b group that they created and she would write the hook for most of the songs therefore coining the name hook she's extremely versatile and she's wrapped over a plethora of different type beats her rise has been slow but still a rise nonetheless she's worked with a little house phone BK to ruler and booty chain that name always makes me laugh just to name a few and her style of delivery is very original to say at the least she's still going strong to this day and still drops pretty versatile music and damn she's bad moving on Gizmo is one of the biggest trap metal-esque artists on this Iceberg and that's not to put him in a box as his biggest song is more of a soft slower song than he actually has with Lil peep but it would be unreasonable to not include the fact that he's a huge Pioneer in the earlier days of SoundCloud trap metal from Jamestown Rhode Island Gizmo was searching for ways to upload his music for free and stumble across SoundCloud weirdly enough he says the reason he started rapping more aggressively was because of Waka Flocka and honestly I can see that character was obviously Gizmo because he listened to mainstream rap and heavy metal he ended up combining the two in his delivery and when he moved to LA the rest was pretty much history he was tied in with Midnight Society doing mini collabs with members from that Collective and he's been rising ever since he doesn't drop too much as he likes to perfect his craft but either way he's golden Oliver Francis has had a very interesting rise and is stamped as a legend but not for the reason you may think see when I first discovered all of her Francis he was just making beats on Soundcloud and wasn't putting any vocals behind anything it was actually when I first made a SoundCloud his beat was the first thing I ever heard which was over nine years ago he had an interview on no jumper that is absolutely terrible and does him zero Justice to his work and his history so I'll try and get into it as a janitor he realized he wanted a way to make it out of his current situation at the time and he began to rap back in 2014 making beats have first he brought up a name for him still and after he started to rap on those beats he gained a lot of traction especially after he dropped music videos for his songs that would be considered the earlier days of cloud rap as he rapped about lean babe things of that nature his music video is actually racked up like millions of views and he became a legend in the early days of cloud realm to this day he still makes music and he's definitely switched up his style so I don't really too much listen to him now but his evolution is pretty cool and he's been at it for like years now shouts out to him Dev Stacks is a producer and rapper from Springfield Massachusetts and he says he never really related to the music scene from where he's from because Springfield and that whole music scene they're on like a whole they're more like on like NBA young boy like Hood music type [ __ ] so I feel like I'm really like a Pioneer like making my own lane he began producing at first for people like Summers and Autumn but as people didn't really get on his Beach as much as he wanted to he just began to hop on them himself inspired by Pierre born he keeps his delivery simplistic in his style of sound is kind of that Transcendent feeling that I was telling you about earlier as most of his songs are uplifting with the melody but it's mixed with like his drowsy flows you get a sense through his music that he doesn't really try too hard but his music is still great nonetheless he's been steadily Rising for about a few years and after his biggest song where he'll swag he got way more eyes on him after it blew up on Tick Tock and he's been Making Waves so there's an artist ever since and I'm excited to see what else he has funeral is an artist from North Carolina who is literally extremely slept on this guy has literally never been brought up in too many talks about the underground which is understandable because it's the underground but in my honest opinion he's like top 10 for most versatile artists in the true underground scene right now as he's done Punk hyper pop Indie music and dark trap music not too much is known about him as he's only done one interview that I was able to pull some information from he got inspiration from XXYYXX if you all know about that yo allergies flying Lotus and that's how he got more so in the hip-hop type beats and actually started rapping he actually started out making dubstep but he said it was terrible so that's why he moved towards hip-hop his originality in a sea of underground artists all basically copying each other really just needs to be discussed here because his Beats are otherworldly as they have such a gritty but uplifting sound about them he has a very high pitched voice that he takes advantage of which kind of allows him to really pull from different genres of music and apply it to his own he's got almost 150 songs at the time of me recording this and he's amassed almost 30 000 followers on Soundcloud since he started and he's still going up and going strong shouts out the funeral I love this man Rodeo glow is an artist from Virginia who was in the whole Central core scene not too much is known about who he is as a person but after listening to a couple songs it's kind of obvious to see why his name comes up as much as it does in the sigil scene as it can be kind of hard to be too original in that scene since everyone bites off of the same person for inspiration but he kind of has his own original spin on him he produces his own beats and they're really good and I just want to hear more from them these guys now this is cheating because Jazz Butler is literally a little Tracy which I already talked about but she kind of needs to be a nerd to know about this so I'm gonna put you on if you didn't already know Jazz Butler is Tracy's actual government name and one of his earlier personas that he went by before the whole Soldier witch and yumbra era at this point he was more of a boom bap conscious rapper taking huge inspiration from nas A Tribe Called Quest and many other lyrical rappers Jazz Butler as an era wouldn't last super long as this was just a stage for the many Evolutions that Tracy would go through as an artist but there are about 200 songs you can find on the YouTube playlist if you want to hear what I'm explaining Metro Zoo is a trio consisting of lofty 305 Reuben slick and Freebase these guys were really early Pioneers in the beginning of trap underground for like Florida dating all the way back to 2007. they wrapped over a cloud rap type beats before it was even labeled Cloud rap and they made songs that were ahead of the time they are now defunct as they did separate in 2015 and they were basically just kind of like a subset of raider Clans I worked with most of the members of that Collective I feel like some songs they made had to have been jokes because listen to this [Music] drugs [Music] like there's no way either way these guys were still golden for the kind of music they made at the time they were making it and I think the group honestly disbanded because everyone moved on from music that was initially a part of the group overall this was an amazing area for Florida and I missed these days J storm is a rapper and producer from North Carolina whose story is kind of interesting because of where he ended up and how he got there J storm started making beats on FL all the way back in middle school inspired by Speaker Knockerz and Soldier Boy and after he started getting better he dropped his Beats on SoundClick and got recognized by King Louie who was a Chicago Legend off of that one song he got with King Louis the G herbo hopped on that song as well the rest was history as many Chicago artists from that point wanted him to send them beats as well when he started rapping on his own beats he got connected with Kevin Gates in a plethora of other rappers he's made his way through the underground and solidified himself as someone who can do both extremely well he's garnered millions of plays on Soundcloud that he's produced and wrapped on so we say he is a legend in the underground scene consisting of young Mojo Alvin Abyss 5G and morgue five finger Posse is super slept on these guys are overlooked by mainstream hip-hop and it's not even funny they've worked with talents such as Forza filthy Wi-Fi guy DP beats Lil Tracy and a lot more these guys are the people who your favorite New Gen artists probably get inspiration from without even realizing it is they made waves all the way back in 2014 doing things that people are doing today each member carries the group in their own way and they're actually still going strong to this day my favorite project from anything related to these guys is 5G is freezer burn these guys are legends for sure and they were pretty early on the chopped and soft wave that most kids used today without even knowing where it came from these guys are amazing so shouts out the five finger Posse definitely give them a listen hard rock is a 18 year
