hey there is a huge alternative hip hop scene since the end of the 8O'
have a look at "Compagnie flow" for exemple, beat made by E.LP (a genius)
check labels like Much records, def jux,big dada...
check artist like: Subtitle,Lab wast,MF doom,Daleck, K-The I ???, radioinactive, 2mex, The Shapeshifters, Cannibal OX, E-LP, Big Juss, Hyenas...etc...
for on artist signed on a major, you can be sure to find a hundred totally indy!!!

I have to add my votes for Rhymesayers as well.
P.O.S. Audition is amazing. He does a lot of the instrument playing himself. I consider it a cross of a noise rock afficionado with a kid well versed in everything good about Hip hop.

I have listened to most of this stuff at some point, and I am still not sold.
I do like a lot of stuff that the
Bomb Hip Hop label issued, though.
