Minneapolis is like an unspoken Mecca of underground hip-hop. Home to two great underground hip-hop labels. Rhymesayers (Atmosphere, Dynospectrum, Felt, Brother Ali, Soul Position, Eyedea and Abilities, P.O.S., Musab, and MF DOOM and more) all of those artists are really skilled.... My favs of that label being Atmosphere (of course), Soul Position (Blueprint and RJD2), P.O.S. and MF DOOM (gotta love doom)

P.O.S. is also a co-founder of another great label and rap crew by the name of Doomtree (P.O.S., Cecil Otter, Sims, Mike Mictlan, Paper Tiger, Dessa, Laserbeak, Marshall Larada, and Turbo Nemesis) ... They do work as a collective crew as well as thier own individual solo work.. all of wich is really fuckin solid. I highly reccomend checking out thier False Hopes cd that showcases work by all of the artists.

Def Jux is also a great label. Aesop Rock, Mr. Lif, El-P, Sage Francis, Del all good shit.

also Atmosphere's new album "When Life Hands You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold" ... comes out tomorrow (4/22) go get that shit!
ghosty Reviewed by ghosty on . Underground HipHop Who else listens to a good amount of it? Well this year Ive fallen in love with it. Especially with the Definitive Jux label. Aesop Rock, Cage, Mr. Lif, El-P, Cool Calm Pete etc. are amazing. The lyrics are so powerful. Alot of the stuff that they talk about easily relates to so much about you and me. Its a style of poetry to a beat and its like a breath of fresh air from life for me. I can just zone out so easy. Its so sad the most amazing music is never heard and is always drowned out Rating: 5
