Now these kids diss me and act like some big sissies
Oh, he just did some shit with Missy
So now he thinks he's too big to do some shit with MC Get Busy"

Can You Make A Living As An Underground Hip Hop Artist?

Yes. There are a number of underground hip hop artists who make a living from their craft. Masta Ace, Canibus, and Talib Kweli to name a few. Their revenue usually comes from record sales, merchandise, and getting booked for shows.

However, for every artist that is able to live comfortably from doing what they love most, there are many more who can’t. Most underground artists (even some with record deals) are forced to have some sort of part-time job to make ends meet. As of 2008 the underground music scene for all genres has been steadily expanding due to the continuous growth of the internet. This is great news for aspiring musicians the world over.
