I was wondering if any of you were actually checking any of the artists we do updates on. If you never had heard of them, and seen an Update on Dubcnn about them, do you check them?

-
Rifleman
Charizma & Peanut Butter Wolf
Lyrics Born
Visionaries
Monteloco
Scipio
Lifestyle
2Mex
Jizzim
Grouch & Eligh
Project Blowed
etc.
-
I've done Lifestyle. I called FYE today to find out that their cd is only in Southern California FYEs on consignment, but it's on amazon.com for $15...too expensive for a debut.
-

You're diehard. I wouldn't go through that trouble for no album. LOL.

If you like Project Blowed, you'll like Rifleman, he's apart of the crew. Jizzim is a long time collaborater, so you'd probably like him. Grouch and Eligh, same. If you like Murs, G & E will strike you as similar, they're from the same group. 2Mex is from the Visionaries, so the styles are somewhat similar. Lyrics Born is similar to Blackalicious, so if you like that sound, you'll like Lyrics Born. Monteloco is working with Scipio. Lifestyle is Snoop's little brother's group.
Glad to see people are actually venturing out.

I don't check any of those^. I do read everything though.
-
I read everything...but it's impossible for me to "check out" (buy music) from them 'cause I don't even hope of seeing one of those albums in stores here in Belgium (the term "underground" would be an understatement, lol). If you post a song from them, I always check that out, certainly!
-
I read dubcnn pretty much everyday but there is no way I will check out every no-name artist on there. If I start seeing thier name come up more often, other sites write about them, they get good reviews and basically get a buzz, then I'll see what's crackin'.
That's what happened with artists like Little Brother and Immortal Technique for me.
I figure if they are really good, they'll get me attention.

As opposed to snoop doggs debut which is $13.99 Or Eazy-E's album which is 13.98? Suga free's debut album is 14.99...
Why is 15 bucks too much? Thats the price I usuauly pay for CD's unless I get them at best buy. then it's like 11 to 13...

Rifleman<----Only known to Underground heads, but it popular with them.
Charizma & Peanut Butter Wolf <-----PBW is a popular Underground head.
Lyrics Born <-----Just got his spot on MTV's You Hear It First.
Visionaries<------Legendary, not close to a no name.
Monteloco<----Pretty unknown.
Scipio <-----Worked with Ras Kass, but still unknown.
Lifestyle<----Snoop's brother but still unknown.
2Mex<----Legend, but still unknown, yet always popular in the Underground.
Jizzim<---See 2Mex.
Grouch & Eligh<----Living Legends crew, very popular in the Underground.
Project Blowed<----See Visionaries.
etc.
I figure, just because you never heard of them, doesn't mean they're no name. Aside from Loco, Scipio and Lifestyle, all these guys on the list have been out since the early 90s. They've established their name pretty well.
I'm not saying, go out and buy the record just off of my word, but peep it. Go Sandboxautomatic.com or Ughh.com and peep snippets. Or DL some tracks. It wouldn't hurt.

I've heard of three of them and they are still generally no-namers, all of them. Sure they have an underground following of let's say a couple of thousand but in the big picture of this rap game they are no-namers.

In case there's any doubt, No, I don't check any of them.

They are your typical West coast gangsta rap.. They are some Emcees.. If you havent checked them.. Go pick up there album called "Galleries" <<< its a classic underground album!!!
Also, Psycho Realm are tight too!!

Rifleman is an acquired taste. He's raw, IMO. But, 40 Glocc is sick. His LP "The Jakal" was tight. He's from L.A., I think South Central, but he claims, from what I hear, Colton Crips. That's in the I.E. So, that's a little weird. But, either way. The album has features from Prodeje, Spice-1 and a gang more.
