Most UnderHyped Rapper of 2012

Guidelines: Consider only their work in 2012. UnderHyped = They receive less attention than they deserve.

Side note: This is why I like categories like UnderHyped. For example, Big Boi certainly gets plenty of love, but considering he’s one of the best rappers alive and almost never gets mentioned in the “Best Rapper Alive” discussion, you could make a serious case that he’s underhyped.

Research:

Everything from Big Boi
Everything from Ab-Soul
Everything from Rapsody
Everything from Pusha T
Everything from Freddie Gibbs
