I'll start with Saul Williams. I found out about him because he opened for NiN. He was great. I thought he was going to break through when I heard him in a Nike commerical, but nope his social conscious rap didn't catch on.

What people or groups do you think should be more popular? Also name/link some songs.

No man is an island, but I often feel alone, so I find peace through.....ooohhmmmm....

A band that is slept on hard and legit my favorite active punk band is Get Dead. Their album Dancing With The Curse is unreal cover to cover. It's just 32 minutes long, but it's a god damn classic! My favorites on it are Stickup and Confrontation. The signer was a hiphop lyricist originally, which you can kind of hear at times, but I'd say he was meant for punk rock!

This group is great. I will add them to my playlist. They remind of Whole Wheat Bread. https://youtu.be/vq_MzFgMwxA

I haven't heard that name is a hot minute, I dug Whole Wheat Bread tough in the early 2000's! But I'm glad you dig Get Dead, they have a handful of solid albums, I also really like Honesty Lives Elsewhere.
