TOGETHER WITH UNDERGROUND SOUND

GM!

The Underground never takes a week off…

And for that we thank you.

And if you’re really rocking with us, get your friends to join too. It means the world.

Let’s get it.

SPONSORED BY UNDERGROUND SOUND

Four years ago, Underground Sound started with a single goal — become the largest media company in the underground.

Three years and 175k followers later, we’ve done exactly that.

You can find us on all platforms (plus this newsletter), but make sure to follow us on Twitter for more consistent updates.

Bktherula - CRAYON

UnoTheActivist - Lil X

Killy & FourFive - Pop 2

Cayo Banks - Akamaru

Eem Triplin & Young Nudy?

Eem continues his monumental run with yet another stellar snippet. This time it’s with Nudy, an unexpected collaboration, but still this could really go up.

Underground Power Rankings

Hyperpop Daily and the hometeam have joined forces on the current power rankings of the Underground. We are the new ESPN and AP Polling system.

Rich Amiri Surpasses Destroy Lonely In Spotify Monthly Listeners

The waves of the Underground come and go, but Rich is on a real run right now. Lone will be just fine, but these once-upcoming rappers are becoming stars right before our eyes.

Is Yeat’s Rollout Better than Carti’s?

It seems as if Yeat is putting more effort into his rollout than Carti, who just let the bald guy yell a few hours before the drop. Though Carti is still ahead with his notoriety of course, Yeat is steadily becoming a household name.

Hardrock’s Single “King Tut” Has Been Banned From Streaming In Egypt

New Hardrock music is always a blessing, but the Egyptians don’t play about their history I guess, though the single is quite good.

What Table Are You Sitting At?

This actually made you think for a bit because most of these tables have at least one solid Underground project each. It’s really up to your taste and that’s the beauty of it.

SiyahXO Co-Signed By Trippie Redd?

Siyah has been running rampant on the internet, carving a real name for himself. True fans come at any level, but it looks like Trippie has been paying attention for a while too.

They Found Ken And Lone On Google Maps

Of course they’re out in front of the Balenci store, but some of these fans have too much time on their hands. Or they should be hired by national security.

Mitaya has been making a lot of noise in the underground with her diverse styling and unique wave. The music is a refreshing break in the monoity of the game, but from a woman’s perspective, we hear a different side of modern music. PluggPop might be one way to describe it, but the Atlanta influence drives through on her recent album “Falling” which dropped in 2023. This young woman is going to have a big year and will continue to make the world and industry pay attention. Do yourself a favor and peep all of the tracks below and we’ll be back with another Artist to Watch next week.

Songs To Dive Into: Bad Things , Backstab , Falling (Album)

We’ve made it through another week of tomfoolery (and it will always be in abundance in the Underground.) We sift through the nonsense so you don’t have to, and we’ll be back every single week.

As always, we welcome your feedback. We’re reading everything.

Stay warm, be safe, and make good decisions.

See you next Friday 🫡
