What are some underrated/ underground artists for me to check out (for r&b/soul/ hip hop)

You can list as many as possible...just as long as it's not any mainstream artists (Usher, 50 Cent, Bruno Mars, etc)

They can be old/ new school

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton
