Lecrae Names eLZhi The Most Underrated Rapper In The Game

Gospel rapper, Lecrae has named Slum Village rapper, elLZhi the most underrated rapper in the game. I'm sure half my readers don't even know who elLZhi is. If you don't, you need to check that dude out if you like substance, and not just gimmick rap. You really need to check the guy out. He made a tribute to Nas's Illmatic album, and titled the mixtape Elmatic...the ish is FIRE! From beginning to end. But as I said, if you like substance and some creativity with the rap music you listen to, then you should check him out. If not, don't bother, you wont understand the dude.

Off the top, I'm picking eLZhi from Slum Village for SOHH Underrated.

I think he's, for me, bar for bar, line for line, he's one of the best emcees that I've ever heard. I think cats don't even recognize or realize it. If you listen to a little eLZhi, you'll be blown away by his lyrical gymnastics.

Even before he was a part of Slum Village, Slum Village was just kind of featuring all kinds of Detroit cats and so you would just catch him featured on all kinds of stuff. You'd hear him on stuff with other guys from Detroit and you'd say, "Yo, who 'is' this cat? He's murdering it!" (sohh.com)
