Aesop Rock - He's "underground", but he holds the respect of so many. He's complex, intellegent, metaphorical, etc.

Slug - Here's a line from Slug that can help describe him. "I'll never be the best word worker, instead I use the soul to take flow further."

Atmosphere - The lyricsist of the group is Slug, but a group.

CAgE - A mix between battle rhymer and gore. Basically "Hardcore", some shit like that.

Vakill - An intellegent battle rhymer with impeccable flow. Dips a little bit into some deep aspects.

Cunninlynguist - A group made up of Kno and Deacon The Villian, and SOS. Battle rhymers, and also some somewhat "deeper" songs.

Tonedeff - Battle rhymer. Has one of the best flow out there.

N-Demik - For now an internet rapper, one of my fav's. Battle rhymer, intellegent, deep. Check him out- www.soundclick.com/ndemik

Bruklor - For now, no songs out...but there will be soon hopefully. (Hey, no shame in promotion, )
