Overall, while I do like the idea of accompanying my Top 10 to Watch For list with interviews from the artist, I think that the execution of this plan has been less than stellar. I am in the process of working out interviews with everyone left on my list but I am going to start… [Read more…]
#6 to Watch for 2010 is Luck-One from Portland. His discography is extremely limited, but the EP he released last year with producer Dekk is so good that I can listen to it on repeat until his next project drops. Anu posted the EP back when it along with a write up, so that will… [Read more…]
Atlanta has contributed quite a lot to hip-hop, from talented emcees to party starters to trap rappers. Pill happens to be all three. A brief listen to any of his three mixtapes displays his talent while also showing his sense of humor as well as a darker side brought out by his time on the… [Read more…]
Hollywood FLOSS comes in at #8 on our Top 10 to Watch For 2010 list. If you have never heard of him, before you make any judgments let me just say that his music doesn’t sound like you think it does. Hailing from Houston, TX, his music doesn’t sound like you think Houston does either,… [Read more…]
There you have it. Stay tuned for an exclusive interview among other things!
#9 on my Top 10 to Watch For 2010 is none other but the Jersey Producer/Emcee, J.A.M.E.S. Watts. I am also going to make a little change to the Top 10 series, I thought it would be cool if I accompanied the brief articles I write with an interview from the artist. That way you… [Read more…]
Starting off the numbered portion of my countdown for 2010 is MaG hailing from the Bronx, New York. He has been building buzz around the net for a couple years now entering competitions hosted by the likes of DJ Green Lantern, being featured on multiple other projects and actually releasing two of his own last… [Read more…]
As we bring in the New Year, I am bringing back my Top 10 to Watch for series with a whole new list of guys that you should know and should expect big things from. Through my experience with this blog, in just a year, I have learned more about music than I probably knew… [Read more…]
As the new year begins, so will my series “Top 10 to Watch For” but before I introduce everyone to 10 (plus honorable mention) up and coming emcees that will make a splash, I thought I would recap how last year’s “youngins” did. Along with my recap, I am going to re-rank them as if… [Read more…]
Having finished the Top 10 To Watch For series, I have put together a mixtape featuring 1 of my favorite songs of each artist (honorable mention and numbers 10-1). In case you started reading in the middle of the series, or missed a few downloads. Hopefully this will give everyone a taste of what each… [Read more…]
