One of the greatest joys in life, at least as a music listener, is always finding new artists and especially artists that don't necessarily have the limelight because as a listener myself, it's always nice to say, well, hey, I was there from the beginning or I was able to see so in soul's evolution.

So in today's episode, guys, we're going to do something new, okay?

Because we're going to be kind of referencing artists all the way throughout this audio podcast that don't have the most light on them or are about to break

into the mainstream or that we think are going to have a massive year in 2023 and a massive career

as the years go on. So guys, if you do enjoy this audio podcast experience from NFR podcast,

smash us a five-star review, please.

It would be much appreciated.

Then follow the Spotify, Apple Podcasts,

or any other application that you guys are using, please.

It means the world to us,

But to me, I guess underground just means that the average hip hop fan or music fan doesn't

know who the artist is to begin with.

You know what I mean?

Like sort of a case where they're super unknown for the time being.

But ultimately, you have to look at the numbers, right?

Like, that's the only real way to measure it if someone's underground or not.

So, like, what's your what's your like barrier i don't know
