What is it going to take for The Underachievers to blow up?

[reserved_one]

I feel like these guys don't get enough attention or recognition for being one of the better duo's this decade. I been rocking with them since Indigoism and they haven't put out a wack project yet. I don't live in NY but I don't understand how the hip-hop stations out there aren't showing them love. Its not like they're making "outdated" 90s hip-hop music, they're making music young teens/adults are gravitating torwards. They're on that spiritual, meditation, new age type of wave, so it might not be for everybody. But I feel like they should be bigger than they're are. The Underachievers have an interesting, refreshing style.

They need to slow down their flows and get catchier hooks

Lots of things:
a) they need a cosign. 99% of modern hip hop fans are followers and need someone who can tell them what's hot

b) They're wild inconsistent, especially their production. I think they shine best when they're making shyt like "TADED" and "Root of All Evil", but then they make other shyt with weaker production which has me like What exactly is their sound? Maybe they're worried they sound too similar to ASAP Rocky on Indigoism.

c) most importantly, they don't have the right image at this time. Interscope spends millions making sure Kendrick looks as baby-faced as possible, while pretending he's a new wave of artistry that the old generation loves. Who exactly are Underachievers trying to be?

Good luck. I made a thread on them more than a year ago that went absolute wood.

edit: By the way, that second verse on Root of All Evil is better than anything I've heard Cole/Duck spit. Issa Dash has one of the better voices of the entire new school.

They're flows are what make them so good imo, but they can work on they're hooks though. I don't think their terrible

I dont understand why new york do not support these dope ass rappers

 

[Metal Face]

Man there so underrated bruh. I loved that Indigoism project that dropped in 2013.

 

[Farrinto]

Expect a group called the Underachievers to blow

 

[kingdizzy01]

they are already pretty successful, what do u mean blow up? ariana grande feature?

 

[New Username]

NY mainstream want guns and violent music instead of backing this new New York psychedelic music

 

[FreedMind]

Rap game doesn't work that way. Labels got to give you a green light for you to make it onto the radio nowadays, very few make it big independently.

 

[MikeyC]

A name change.

 

[BigMan]

They are underground and want to stay that way

And if u listen to their music it's pretty obvious why they haven't "blown" up
