I'm going to have to second Atmosphere. He may not be as 'non-mainstream' as you're looking for, but he has some fucking sick beats.

Yeah pretty much. Theres still a difference. They're still about skills instead of girls/money/cars. You got to give them credit because there skills is what got them to be noticed.
