It's stuff they play in Caves in Afghanistan and Mining Towns like Coober Pedy in South Australia or gaining enlightenment in Tibet. They perfect the Acoustics of their Environment to sound like the Hip Hop you would hear in a Club, your Car or the comfort of your Crib. This is because they spend a long time below the surface and often don't come out for days, weeks or years and must entertain themselves somehow.

Hmm underground hip hop is like the kind of music that talks about life or something common is an example of an underground singer
it's not different from hip hop it's just made by people who arent' signed artist that's all.
Generally speaking 'underground' artists rap about a different subject matter than their commercial brethren. Songs focus more on personal issues, politics, relationships, and philosophy, and tend to be more introspective and self-critical. However, underground hip hop also has roots in battle rapping, and "****-talk" songs are quite common, as many underground rappers display the egoism and braggadocio common to rap music. Underground production tend to be diverse, drawing on such musical styles as jazz, funk, electronica, and techno, as well as more traditional hip-hop for beats. The music can also be more lyrically diverse and have less repetition than mainstream rap. Some artists also avoid lyrics that are violent, misogynistic, or involve cursing [1].

Basically not mainstream popular stuff, unknown rappers

see the difference?
simple and to the point underground hip hop is hip hop that has not been released or produced by a major label
All these folks are WRONG! UNDERGROUND MUSIC is the music that is the rawest of the raw, the realest of the real. What you definitely don't want your kids to listen to.
