gil scott heron - revolution not televised:

underground rap more categorised either raw, deep , heavy beats or experimentation. focuses on lyrical finesse , can range low-key gangster rap political topics:

ras kass - sonset:

canibus - poet laureate ii:

there subgenre known alternative rap. enormally entails conscious lyrics , anti-violence stances , musically close jazz , r&b. organic in production , utilises live instrumentation:
