Best unsigned / underground rap voices

I'm working with a well respected producer on a new song and I'm looking for a very unique rap voice. Can somebody name me some unique voices underground / unsigned don't matter. I also don't care about the age. I think a lot of old men got crazy voices to rap with but I can't come up with names right now. I don't like Whiz Khalifa and ASAP Rocky I think their voices are very very boring to listen to and not breath taking at all. I want some personality.
My favorite rap voices are :

- Tupac
- DMX
- Snoop Dogg
- Nate Dogg
- Ol Dirty Bastard
- Kid Cudi
- Spectacular
- Lloyd Banks
- Jay Z
- Notorious BIG

These are all rappers with their very own unique sound. I know there is a massive amount of people rapping and putting it on YouTube so I'm sure a lot of you guys are experienced enough to direct me to great voices.
thanks a lot

OK, two words :

MIKE KNOX



Mike Knox - "On My Own" - ThisIs50.com

Can't get more unique than that... not my cup of tea exactly, but first name that came to mind.

Asap rocky boring ? wow ok... to each his own... rocky is like one of the best things to happen to rap this decade... but hey my opinion only

I think I hit a gem myself. My partner has the vocals to really push it in the industry. Only issue is always trying to find a way to get in. Anyway Check him out Future Freshman Classick MC is the artist.

I like the old guy reference ala Billy Zane from M.O.P.. Dude still has a great rapping voice. On the underground side I like this guy's voice. He is Everton Nicholas. On his page there are several examples.

K Rino easily underrated like none other second would be Klondike Kat. Brother Ali third, and then Vinnie Paz.

All these dudes are the coldest dudes on the microphone and lyrically, I don't listen to any rap outside these artists hardly and I've listened to plenty of hip hop in my day. Do not sleep.

Since we get to vote twice apparently... U-God, Rakim, and Sadat X destroys this entire thread.
