underground

Underground hip hop is an "umbrella term" for hip hop music outside the general commercial canon. The term is almost exclusively associated with independent artists, signed to small labels or no label at all. Underground is often characterized by having more socially conscious, positive, or anti-commercial lyrics than the mainstream; however, there is no unifying or universal theme - Allmusic suggests that it has "has no sonic signifiers". "The Underground" also refers to the musicians, fans and others that support non-commercial, or independent music.
