Get caught up if you haven’t because these emcees have more than proven themselves to be a permanent fixture in the game.

Looking to pay a bit tribute to these skilled veterans, AllHipHop.com has compiled a list of emcees they consider to be slept-on by the world at large.

Coming in at #3 on the list, Tech N9ne continues to impress listeners even without the global mainstream recognition that others have enjoyed:

At age 40, Tech has proven that rap isn’t just a young man’s game. And with his album stealing “Interlude” appearance on Tha Carter IV, Tech N9ne may have benefited from that 2011 blockbuster release more than Lil Wayne.

Making the cut along with Jean Grae, Lloyd Banks, Royce Da 5′ 9″, and Immortal Technique, Tech N9ne may not be found on lists like this for much longer.

I caught the industry, who do I catch now?
