Excited to announce one of my favorite series on Da-What.com, the Top 10 to Watch For of 2014. Got a diverse list that spans the whole country. Some have indie labels behind them, others have gotten major looks and some are on their own. Stay tuned because I got some things in the works this year with the 10 members. In the meantime hit the jump to see which artists I think you should keep your eye on and download their latest to get familiar. Or you can wait until all of your friends tell you about these artists in a few years….
