Answer 1

Brother Ali
Immortal Technique

Answer 2

Mad Skillz

Remember when I said that 1996 was hip-hop's year of the sleepers? Well, Mad Skillz' Album "From Where???" proves my point. Who is Mad Skillz? He's a Virginia MC that's got punchlines up the as*s. Think of Skillz as the Virginia version of Big L. Not only does he punchline rap like L, he almost sounds like him too. Since I even compared Skillz to L, Skillz is obviously tight on the mic. The producers on From Where??? is the underground dream team. There are tracks here by Beatnuts, J Dilla, DJ Clark Kent, Buckwild, Large Professor, Shawn J Period, etc. There's really not much else for me to say about this album. Tight rhymes plus tight beats equals a tight album. From Where??? doesn't try to change the world or anything, but it's just great hip-hop that you can bump to again and again and again. I'm probably the only person that will give it a perfect score, but I did so because I love every song on this album. Anybody that loves hip-hop needs to check this album out.

Answer 3

Murs
Brother Ali
One Be Lo(my Fav)
Panacea and Restoring Poetry in Music(Raw Poetic is the mc)
Atmosphere/Slug
Bumpy Knuckles, also known as Freddie Foxxx, Premo produces a lot for him.
Pumpkinhead, has a cd completely produced by Marco Polo.
J-Live, rediculous lyricist
Binary Star, One Be Lo is in this Duo
Blackalicious/ Gift of Gab

Felt(Murs and Slug)
Immortal Technique


That sounds like a good start.
