A band that is slept on hard and legit my favorite active punk band is Get Dead. Their album Dancing With The Curse is unreal cover to cover. It's just 32 minutes long, but it's a god damn classic! My favorites on it are Stickup and Confrontation. The signer was a hiphop lyricist originally, which you can kind of hear at times, but I'd say he was meant for punk rock!

Refused, I found out about them cause they were the band who did all the Samurai songs in cyberpunk 2077 and even though they had a bit of a bump they're still really obscure

Fish in a Birdcage is one of my alltime favorites. Great for relaxed listening and tends to have really good stories in the songs as well.
Destiny Potato. Technically impressive, cool songs, catchy motifs, and at the same time they show that it's possible to make fun music. Plus at the time of their first release, it was a refreshingly different kind of djenty progmetal.
They're known as Sordid Pink now, by the way.

Omg. I had never heard of Saul Williams. Adding him to my playlists. Thank you for this!
Interpol is one of my favorites. I like to think they took over from Joy Division.

I would say Dry Cell, who had a fantastic full album and lots of great demo EPs, and by extension their split-off bands, such as Acrylic and Band With No Name.

The Roots in their pre-Jimmy ~~Kimmel~~ Fallon days, and even now, are my favourite musical group. Black Star is another duo I would raise to that level as well.
Taking a look at this page, for the Last Poets, who influenced Saul Williams, it's a veritable who's who of artists I love: Wu-Tang, Public Enemy, Brand Nubian, KRS-ONE, Guru, Mos Def & Talib Kweli.
e: I stand corrected.
