Tha Liks(solo members,Tash:for me his album was great,I think the production on his solo album was very good,J-Ro:his solo shit is sometimes more underground or sometimes more G-Funk,just listen to the wolfpac mixtape,he did some good shit on that mixtape,overall Tha Liks is probably my favorite underground group,tight lyrics,beats & flows)

they arent really underground no more, well, atleast XO Experience wasn't, they're supposed to go back to their older (more underground) style tho on firewater
and yea, raplife was great, but coming from tash, i think it could have been better (just my humble opinion)
lol, how could i forget phil da ag, defari and king t lol, theyre in my fav crew and all among my fav emcees
-

Gangsta T ;D

Murs dammit! Y, cause he is my blood cousin!
J/K but if you mean underground, such as underground style, then Murs honestly is one of my favorites, because I can relate to what he says, and I have seen him grow as a rapper so I am biased. But most underground style artists don't do much for me.
As far as underground, meanin those who could be commercially succesful but just haven't got a break, Sly Boogy ras kass and crooked i are my favs.
-
Andre Nickatina aka Dre Dog cause he has very unique style/voice/flow and all his albums are tight (i got all of them)
and then crooked i + sly boogy

Most people have mentioned the dope cats.
I'll just list what I dig either way.
Aceyalone: Just peep him out, very creative and original.
2Mex: Amazing on the mic. Check Shapeshifters, Visionaries and Of Mexican Decent as well.
Busdriver: You'll probably hate his voice and flow, it's VERY goofy and odd, but listen to his lyrics. :o
Scipio: One of the best young guns on the West. Not just a mixtape rapper, he has substance.
Sly Boogy: Probably the best emcee out right now. Creative, original and an all around dope emcee.
Crooked I: Amazing flow, crazy lyrics, just sick.
Murs: Not really into the LLC but Murs is coo. He reminds me of Aceyalone.
Acid Reign: If you can get past an odd sounding voice, you'll dig them.
Hiero: Like someone said before, they're legends.
Project Blowed: Instead of naming all the members, just check the crew. The best and brightest from the Cali underground.
Voice Watson: Street savy but with dope lyrics to back him.
There's tons more.
