I'm a shut in loser who hasn't kept up with rap music in years. What are the scenes and genres and artists like nowadays? What is "underground" anyways?
off the top of my head you've got the following subgenres
>plugg
>pluggnB
>Tread(kinda dead)
>Surge(also kinda dead)
>Rage(oversaturated)
>TDF/perc40 type beats, associate artists
>Dark Plugg
>each city has it's own drill scene with each drill scene having a pretty distinct sound
