underground rap = not signed or signed to an indie label

A rapper with unlimited creative control of his work, one that does most of his work on his own.

Underground rappers can be signed, but dont have enough money to promote themselves .

Yeah... They said it right. Any MC that isn't attached to a label so they complete control over their own image and output -- It's true for ever musical genre (indie rock, folk, etc.)... Even "mainstream" or radio artists can put out "underground" releases (usually mixtapes).
