What are hip-hop groups/artists you think are actually underrated (>100k monthly listereners) and deserve to be way more popular than they are?

For me it's probably Dälek (25K monthly listeners) probably because of how their industrial/experimental hip-hop defied mainstream commercial categorization with their industrial noise, shoegaze and ambient drone. They were also one of inspirations from artists/groups like Death Grips, JPEGMAFIA, clipping etc.. even rumored Kanye West in his Yeezus era. Rarely spoke when they might be the GOAT of industrial noise // industrial hip-hop.

Another one group is probably "Arsonists" (23.7k monthly listeners) imo they could be traditionalist purists caught in a tragic cultural transition. Arriving in late 1990s, they fiercely championed the four original elements of hip-hop (MCing, DJing, breakdancing and graffiti) at the exact moment the genre shifted toward the commercial wealth and radio-friendly pop samples of the "Shiny Suit Era". Heavily underrated in East Coast Hip-Hop.

What are your takes? I'll love to know/listen more of them
