It's Not 2016 Anymore
Quit Living In The Past

TOGETHER WITH UNDERGROUND SOUND
GM!
It’s not 2016 anymore champ, instead it’s 2025 and this year we are letting go of the overdone nostalgia. Yes it was a wondrous time, but we’re never going back there and we have to look forward to push through these tumultuous times. Dave is in Chrome, K3 defended FriutSnacks, Nettspend was crying on stage and looked like Kurt Cobain, and CJ just might be our generations Sahbabii. Buckle up, we’re going for a little ride.

Dave Blunts In Chrome
Dave has the internet by the gnads anytime he does anything, but now it’s for simply wearing chrome. Wild times were living in.
1Oneam Might be better than anyone coming up in 2016/17
This run is stellar and the fan base is growing by the day. This is a bold statement but when it’s all said and done, we think we’re prolly gonna be right.
K3 Defended Friutsnacks
Women looking out for each other is great to see and tbh in a few years they’ll both be running the industry in their own ways.
Osamason speaks on goofing and the goonicide in a new interview
Don’t know why we needed to know this information. But since we found out, we figured we’d pass along the news too. Osamason is disappointed in all of us.
Our Generation’s Sahbabii
CJ is really so overlooked in the current field of rap. His melodies and punchlines should excite you and showcase how quick witted he truly is.
It’s not 2016 Anymore
I know we all love to hold onto any nostalgia we possibly can, but 9 years later it’s truly time to move on. The billboard spurred plenty of opinions across the board, but that’s the whole point.


Percaso is next up in the Underground but he’s also right now. His fan base has expanded with nearly every release and he makes the music a lot of people are scared to make or literally can’t. Authentic energy that feels unhinged, yet organized. His style pushes his peers around him to get better and be more of themselves. Percaso can really turn this into a long career with consistency and great music. Don’t sleep.

Boolymon is the best underground rapper and producer we’ve seen in a minute
