If it was a group then it would be Cunninlynguists.

But one MC then Supastition. K-Rino is dope but not on Supastition's level lyrically or by quality of discography.

I was gonna say Supastition but...

I'd have to say Kenn Starr. Besides the quality of his album his mixtape was very impressive. Kalihan is pretty tight too. Also:

Strange Fruit Project
I Self Divine
KYNfolk
Asamov
Basic Vocab
DeLoach
Young Valentine(from Chapter 13)
Ill Mind
Tree Woods

You clearly haven't heard Supastition.

"Underground" doesn't mean unknown or merely independent, it's alternative hip hop.

Little Brother are known but have an "underground" sound.

Bun B is not underground and he certainly wouldn't shit on most of these emcees.

I thought Kenn Starr was from Baltimore? Or PG County, Maryland? Rappers from Maryland/Virginia/Below the Mason-Dixon line/etc shouldn't be considered Southern rappers, because their accents and styles don't fit. Should we also be saying that the Carolinas and Florida alike are "East Coast"?
