Honestly there are a lot of resources out there for Memphis rap which is mostly what you want if you're looking for that lo-fi/murky sound...also, there's stuff like UNLV - Str8 Out tha Gutta that was regionally big but might not be on your radar if you're not from the South.  Houston rap has some gems too but even the more obscure albums were generally more polished-sounding around there.

Dreamworld is great. If you like that, the rest of the early Blackout tapes are worth checking out too: Lil' E - Playa for Life, Lil' Slim - Robbery's My Specialty, Playa Posse - Bigga and Betta Thangs, Terror - It's Whateva. Plus Lil' Noid - Paranoid Funk which was recently reissued. Probably forgetting a few. I'm a big fan of the more polished stuff Blackout did with Playa Fly and Gangsta Blac too, but it seems like the internet generally prefers the early, super grimy stuff.

Tommy Wright III - On the Run is the pinnacle of Memphis for me, though. TW3 has super deep catalog and almost all of it is worthwhile. Another personal favorite is the N.O.D. tape.

Been pretty obsessed with a couple DJ Squeeky tracks lately: Don't Turn Around and I Got a Plan

Am listening to Lil Slim and Blackout right now, definitely the type of stuff I like to hear. I really like some Tommy Wright III tapes but Lord Infamous tore that dude a new asshole back in the day.
