You want some sick beats? Just look up anything J Dilla (Jay Dee) has produced, especially his solo album Welcome 2 Detroit. He's one of the best beatmakers in history without a doubt, plus he represented Seven Mile and McDougall.
Underground rap is just like most of the other stuff out there, the only difference is the guys are either without a record deal, or aren't that good, that's why they aren't making records. If they are any good, they would have out records and shit.
Then just look for anything inner-city hardcore, it's not even that much Midwest style even though they are from Detroit, they sould New Yorkish to me.
