New Hip Hop Artist – How Hip Hop Transform a Way of life
It's time to analyze the sounds and styles of the new hip hop artist that produced splash last year. This artist is on a mission that mastered mediocrity. Here's the list of 10 hip-hop artists in 2010: Jay Electronica: Without an album to his label, Jay Electronica already has musicians from all over the States singing his praise. Nas, Just Blaze, and Bun B are a few of the respected hip-hop heads that openly cosigned the New Orleans lyricist. Jay truly has a possibility to blow up like Nitro and dynamite sticks (word to Biggie); J.Cole: J Cole features a powerful blend of street sensibility and crossover appeal. Think Jay-Z with a touch of AZ. As the first padawan recruited by Jedi Carter's Roc Nation, he's armed with the right promotional tools to produce a run for the top. The Force is strong with this one indeed.
Freddie Gibbs: Gibbs made some noise in 2009 with two brilliant mixtapes, The Miseducation of Freddie Gibbs and Midwestgangstaboxframecadillacmuzik. His sound hearkens to the times of hardbody beats and grimy rhymes delivered with such reliability that betrays familiarity with the criminal life; Drake: If achievement is a journey and not a destination, then Drake's next pit stop is to do with his debut album what he did with his So Far Gone mixtape. The "mixtape that sounded like an album" paid unprecedented dividends for this Canadian rap-R&B double threat. So Far Gone sold like hot cakes and sent two songs to the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
Dessa: She released a book of poetry and prose dubbed Spiral Bound, followed it up with her debut album, and then toured relentlessly to advertise both. Her ability to seamlessly merge spoken word, poetry, and emceeing into one big pot of gumbo is refreshing; Nipsey Hussle: Hussle is blessed with a bulbous snarl that hearkens to his Cali upbringing. And he knows just how to utilize his gift: kicking sharp rhymes over bass-heavy beats, crooning anthemic choruses, and sharply telling dark stories about his 'hood. His debut, South Central State of Mind, is due out in Spring 2010.
Cory Gunz: After a decade in the hip-hop wilderness, Cory Gunz is finally prepared to let loose. Unlike the Bow Wow and his ilk, which ultimately focus on the opposite sex, this teen titan is more interested in spewing razor-shape rhymes like a young Big L. His Best Kept Secret mixtape is a must-listen for followers digging for lyrical gemstones; Hayes: Detroit newcomer Hayes incited an industry bidding war after going around his demo through the streets. Hayes' storytelling (and ghostwriting skills) impressed Dr. Dre and Timbaland and landed him a joint deal with the two sound architects.
M.anifest: New hip hop artist M.anifest's hip-hop quest took him all the way from Accra, Ghana to Minneapolis, Minnesota. His style hearkens to the smart lyricism of the Talib Kwelis and the Brother Alis. Not surprisingly, he's definitely aligned himself with that brand by way of collaborations with Ali; Buff1: Buff has been working the underground circuit for years but it was 2008's There's Only One, motivated by its trunk-friendly single "Beat The Speakers Up," that acquired him reputation. His next project is a collaborative LP with DJ Rhettmatic titled Crown Royale.
Hip hop music was first invented in the 70's. In order to become a well-known New Hip Hop Artist, one must sing out well, develop the right point of view, and most importantly know how to dance. Being one of the renowned Hip Hop Artists is just not a fairly easy career. It certainly takes a wide range of work, motivation, and dedication.
