1. - Ab-Liva of Re-Up Gang
Philly rapper Ab-Liva is most known for his placements on Clipse songs and being part of the affiliated Re-Up Gang and has been on and off records since the early 2000s to most recently 2015, though he was obviously on the Re-Up Gang album and mixtapes, he has never dropped a solo album, which is frustrating because his gritty yet swift n smart style of rhyming which fit those Neptunes beats perfectly and he always delivered with dope metaphors and swag - if you wanna read a bit more and about fun fact such as the fact he got writing credits on All Day peep this DJBooth article -
Heres my fav Ab-Liva verses

Buk of Psychodrama
If you know your Chicago history you definitely know of Psychodrama, the group Buk was part of, they did songs with Do or Die and were locally known but underground to the rest of the country back in the 90s. Buk, formerly YoungBuk, however shined the best on the few features he was on as a solo artist, his way of rhyming is to this day completely unique, from the way he orders his syllables n rhyme scheme to his evil and deep delivery in which he spits dark n graphic street tales. He technically has an album to his name you can find somewhere on youtube but its extremely low budget which you can hear mostly from the beats and it doesnt come close to touching what he showed he can do on features

Jay Electronica
Not gonna say much bout Jay Elect, hes probably the greatest rapper of all time to never drop a real album, and its never gonna happen either and thats a tragedy to Hip Hop... yall know all the songs already
