So glad Lil B and SesHolloWaterBoyz has a spot in this video. They are crazy influential. Haven't looked back to mainstream music since 2013.

[@hivemindclips151]

i love you by lil B is unironically one of my favourite songs ever

[@memoriesmuseum2824]

Lil b had to be on here. It would be disrespectful to NOT include him

[@texanarchy666]

You should checkout a little bit of the mainstream now and then. Usually there's not too much to be excited about but it's not all bad

[@cozyweatherfilms]

You are actually covering lots of fantastic underground artists that no one ever talks about. I can't wait for another part.

[@harvarduniversity7683]

So happy to see that Hi-C got mentioned in this vid skins 222 is literally the best psychedelic song ever better than anything on pizza and Codeine and cartis location (I am a meat rider)

[@Tripn]

why even compare the 3 when all 3 are amazing in their own ways

[@Tripn]

(location, pizza and codeine, and skins222)

[@o044k]

[@mariofrlan]

Wow, this video was put together EXTREMELY well. Cannot wait for the next part to come out!

[@TheRoseBoy11]

Nothing gets me more GOATed than Underground Hip Hop. One of my personal favorite subgenres filled to the brim with underrated talent. Hyped to see this series continue

[@dizziblaine1]

[@yeetyeetonthestreet-colinm1186]

[@popolmengompol]

Surf Gang are the future for sure. and let me bringing names now Boys Nights Out (/hinoni) for those who like DG. Jimi Ono for those who likes GBC. Thestand4rd for those who missing the best time of our underground gen. shit i can't specified anymore but Helix Tears, Sillyteam, Haunted Mound (well known), and whatever group that blxty and mentals in. plus punkinloveee for those who likes hyperpop of underground because of sick of mainstream and overcommercialized hyperpop. thanks.

[@kolbyhaynes9065]

Crazy to me how many of my favorites you mentioned. A lot of ‘‘em never heard much about especially circle 5 Listen to them almost everyday still

[@mikeypolo12]

His ZOTiYAC not a part of Midnight Society? YAC has to be by far my favorite underground artists I've been listening to him for the past 4 years hez maturing well n is great with the way he switches genres and stays putting out a ton of music to keep his fans fed n interested, he jus needs to do more interviews, even tho i love him being under the radar, keepin him to myself no homo, but he def deserves the stardom n mainstream attention if im gunna be an unselfish fan

[@Dawgshit214]

Cyrax and silk money and wifigawd defined my music taste in my early years, absolutely ahead of their time, dmvs finest

[@Dawgshit214]

Shoutout to syringe too, I forgot about him holy fuck

[@popolmengompol]

love Sy and anti life

[@7atinz]

Crazy cuz I just finished the 1st one 6 minutes ago 💀 perfect timing 🙏🏾

[@noreverie]

hoped to see yabujin on the iceberg

[@linci5580]

I know that most likely there are many artists that were left out of the iceberg, but I know an artist that should definitely be on this list, his name is RiverKinn, he is the brother of another better known artist called Killstation, and RiverKinn arrived to meet several other artists present and mentioned in this iceberg, such as Ghostemane, Lil Peep and Gizmo. RiverKinn produces all of his music himself, whether instrumental or vocal. The small fanbase he has is very affectionate with him calling him a fox, as he uses a lot of references to nintendo games in his songs, especially Star Fox and Zelda Ocarina of Time. Anyway, ever since I met him I've always considered him a hidden gem not only in rap but in alternative music as a whole.

[@bandwayb]

fun fact: fukkit used to be in members only before leaving in early 2016 due to not liking X and joined midnight society which caused x to beef with the entirety of the group. Kamiyada and original god both had verses on imsippinteainyohood that were later scrapped because the beef, and x stopped using virus beats as a result edit: dats also the reason y theres like 2 mins of empty space after x verse on imsippinteainyohood

[@tyjutsukun7948]

Tbf OG and Kamiyada verses were kinda mid. Fuck with em bof heavy (same with Midnight) but dem shits were not it

[@popolmengompol]

good riddance🎉🎉

lil b pack and soulja ocean gang tho, real ones know

[@vedza5448]

Finally somebody mentioned midnight society🙏

[@tjtookind1888]

Some honorable mentions imo who I think are coming up are artist like, redveil, Kenny Mason, davidthetragic, mavi, Ovrkast, wakai, and so many others with this kind of style. Though it’s not the same sound as the SoundCloud era and eras prior or after, I think they have the same feel as the underground scene and should definitely get some recognition for their versatility!

[@yeetyeetonthestreet-colinm1186]

red veil is so good man

[@S1XXET]

Icytwat makes such good music

[@yung404error8]

Olivers revenge is a return to form for him

Original sounds that people took off and ran with. Slimesito, Goonew, Wintertime Zi, SGP, Thouxanbanfauni, Black Kray, Lil B, Hi-C, Yung Lean, $ilkmoney, Duwap Kaine and XXXTENTACION. Izaya Tiji? Can you count Izaya Tiji as an originator or did he branch off from the Duwap Kaine tree ?
