Top 5 "Undiscovered" Bands

<p>Oh dang. Oh man. Jedi Mind Tricks are so awesome.</p>

<p>"My peeps walk the streets, holdin' stolen fire like Prometheus"</p>

<p>Vinnie Paz is so great. You know, Jus Allah just hooked back up with them- the new album will have all three members back on.</p>

<p>are you serious? that's AWESOME cause their newest album kinda sucked without the whole band, Violent by Design is definitely the best.
one of my favorite lyrics is:</p>

<p>Broke into the Vatican,
Strangled the Pope with his rosary!</p>

<p>Mindless Self Indulgence
Cunninglinguists</p>

<p>Vinnie Paz is confusing... definitely an underrated lyricist (it happens to emcees who are in groups, except for the Wu. Chali 2na is, I maintain, one of the hottest and most overlooked out there). But lyrically, he's often contradictory. He attacks Christianity for a history of violence and then...
Well, your quote happens :-P</p>

<p>He's amazing on a skills level though. You might want to cop Jus Allah's new solo LP - it's got GZA as a guest artist, he's down with Babygrande now and is gonna release a mixtape-style album soon with them.</p>

<p>yea i should have put M.S.I. on my list, they're really great, there's this good article on them in the magazine Revolver and their new album is supposed to be great, it'd be hard to top Tight though.</p>

<p>Well people, I am a production intern for a radio station. Perhaps if you live in the mid-atlantic region i.e. Philly area or maybe even as far south as B-more you may get 88.5 WXPN... Anyway, being a non commercial station, and run through support of member listeners and UPENN we play a lot of good music and a lot of new, talented artists especially singer-songwriters. Heres some of my favorites to listen to at the moment:</p>

<p>Ben Folds (get the new album Songs For Silverman I am a fan)
Rilo Kiley
South
Jamie Cullum
Belle and Sebastian (THE BEST OUT OF THE UK invest in the Books EP)
The Dandy Warhols
Mutlu (a Philly local artist, check him out <a href="http://www.mutlusounds.com%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.mutlusounds.com&lt;/a&gt;)
Floetry
Jem
Old 97s
Super Furry Animals
Tegan and Sara
Camera Obscura
The Secret Machines
Zero 7</p>
