Obviously the question can only be answered on a 'by the decade' premise. The 80s, The 90s, 2000s, 2010's and the 2020's all had their separate moments. It would be impossible to pull 4 out of 5 decades.

Ultramagnetic MCs, Masta Ace, Hieroglyphics, Slim Thug
Underground and independent are interchanged on my list, but I stand by it
Ultra for obvious reasons, Masta Ace and INC played a big part in the development of modern underground hip hop, Hiero never stopped after leaving Jive Records and showed that there was life and entire careers after leaving a major label, I know less about Slim but his career pushed on before, during, and after label attention.

Tone tone, but wasn't sure if the current era guys like big quis would qualify over tone tone.
I’ma say movements in no particular order:
1. Boot Camp Clik / Duck Down
2. Late 90’s Rawkus records
3. 2000’s Stonesthrow records
4. 2000’s Dilla and the Detroit scene
Honorable mentions:
2000’s Houston Chopped & Screwed era
90’s Bay Area Mob Music
