These aren&#8217;t necessarily world-changing records, but they each represent a specific corner of the underground that deserves a mention.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Daz Dillinger &#038; JT the Bigga Figga \u2013 Long Beach 2 Fillmoe<\/strong>  25 years ago today, in 2001, we got this collaboration between Long Beach and San Francisco. Daz Dillinger and JT the Bigga Figga delivered exactly what you\u2019d expect on &#8220;Long Beach 2 Fillmoe&#8221;: raw West Coast sound without the polish. It didn&#8217;t reinvent the wheel, but it showcased solid chemistry between G-Funk and the Bay Area mobb scene. Tracks like &#8220;Game to Be Sold&#8221; remain decent examples of that era&#8217;s grit.<\/p>\n<p><iframe width=\"100%\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/videoseries?si=40ZIhp8nmgMxmOyB&amp;list=PLSLLxjH3CErl6_vjD1AsI5A9IYuAcTXB6\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Kool Keith \u2013 The Commi$$ioner<\/strong> Back in 2006, Kool Keith was in a hyper-productive state, and &#8220;The Comi$$ioner&#8221; was one of the results. Interestingly, you won&#8217;t find this album on most official Wikipedia lists, largely due to Keith&#8217;s chaotic habit of dropping projects on small independent labels. However, for those who follow his work, it\u2019s a solid &#8220;street album&#8221; filled with his signature abstract humor. It\u2019s not for everyone, but it\u2019s an essential piece of his massive discography.<\/p>\n<p><iframe width=\"100%\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/y0cHQETC1m0?si=y88_oOG7mnpl-CZK\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Solomon Childs \u2013 The Wake<\/strong> Also in 2006, Wu-Tang affiliate Solomon Childs released &#8220;The Wake&#8221;. Solomon has always been a consistent presence around the Clan, and this project carries that familiar Staten Island intensity. It\u2019s dark, lyrically dense, and strictly for the hard-core underground fans. &#8220;The Wake&#8221; doesn&#8217;t try to be anything it isn&#8217;t, serving as a reminder of how deep the Wu-Tang scene ran in the mid-2000s.<\/p>\n<p><iframe width=\"100%\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/videoseries?si=SMPgH3T5gU2tiOez&amp;list=OLAK5uy_mwoSOP4bkkbbBdUNuoOEfh2JE37O13i8E\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>If you have some time today, give them a spin.
