10 Underrated Music Artists You Absolutely Need to Know

We kick off our list of the most underrated music artists with BabyJake, a Key West, Florida native who's had a storied career to date, and is just getting started. He makes timeless music that's nearly impossible not to love.

If you love Tame Impala, chances are you'd be a huge fan of the work of Das Kope. This creative not only makes incredible music, but he makes intricate visuals to go with it.

If you haven't had the pleasure of hearing Jordan Ward's music, it looks like today is your lucky day. You will never forget your first listen to his music. Not only is his voice amazing, he's got the lyrics to match - and more.

If you've heard the term "New Jazz" recently (or the corresponding music for the genre), you have Lunchbox to thank. This innovative New Yorker has applied his producer background to set the stage for a notably impactful career, just like some of our favorite stars to date. If you're new to him, take this chance to check out his work.

Mariah the Scientist has been coming up gracefully over the last few years, and we can't say it's a surprise. She's got an undeniably fire voice and songwriting ability. If you're new, you're gonna absolutely love her music.

We had the pleasure of seeing Greek live in concert in New York City a couple months ago, and even though we were already fans from his releases, he made us super-fans. His performance ability is just as good as his music-making ability, which is a huge compliment if you're familiar with his work.

Hailing from South East London, England, ayrtn is a recording artist and producer who has a very original type of sound - one that blends genres you wouldn't expect (like electronic and hip-hop, for instance).

Next up is Durand Jones and the Indications, a band hailing from Bloomington, Indiana. This band takes you back in time to an era of fuzzy vocals and extremely substantial lyrics - so much so that you'd never guess their music was released in the 21st century. Don't believe us? Hear it for yourself.

After recently scoring a Drake co-sign, it's safe to say Anycia has been making waves lately. It's no surprise that she's seeing success - after all, she's incredibly talented, and has the work to show for it.

At the number one spot on our list of underrated music artists, we've got Strandz. This German-born London resident arrived in the UK by way of Nigeria, and his eclectic background bleeds into his music. Any expectations you might have of the music he makes are likely incorrect: he makes nostalgic hip-hop that brings you back to the early 2000's, and it's pure magic.
