Well, what exactly make an artist underground? Lack of a label? Lack of mainstream exposure? In everyone's opinion what makes an artist underground?

I always thought it meant unsigned, but I guess anything without mainstream exposure would work.

Would you say Aesop or Immortal Tech are underground?

I'd say that being an underground artist is directed towards less exposure to the public, thus the word "underground". But it's a web of many opinions and cannot be directed towards one single point. To me an underground artist is someone who avoids radio play and avoids famous interviewers, but still maintains a fan base big enough to maintain.
