Justin Stone - Game Over / No Time





Its been quite some time since we last received new music from the up and coming Ohio rapper Justin Stone. His new singles Game Over and No Time Justin really shows how versatile he is. Game Over produced by CM Beats is one hell of a track; this hard hitting trap beat is uncharacteristic of Justin’s typical songs but he effortlessly kills this joint. In addition to this his other new song No Time is over a classic Felly beat. No Time is one of those records that you could listen to all day and really allows Justin to shine. Overall both tracks are simply sick and I look forward to hearing more from him.

Pouya - Social Experiment (Prod.Big Los)



Pouya and the rest of Buffet Boys are arguably the next big thing to come out of Miami. With a unique stylistic flow, Pouya kills this simplistic but dope Big Los beat. With South Side Slugs in the work his new single Social Experiment only makes me more excited for its upcoming release.

Top 10 New Artists Of 2014


In 2014 we have seen a lot of dope artists come into the light and really make a name for themselves. The game is ever changing and more now then ever allowing small up and coming artists to really shine. In previous years the more followers you had typically the more plays you would get but in 2014 this really changed.

Felly



Felly is one of the finest artists to come out of the Connecticut  and is showing that webby’s climb to success was not a fluke. Since graduating from Fairfield Prep in 2013 Felly quickly moved out to California to attend USC (University Of Southern California) and thats when things truly began to move. The young talented rapper/producer really began to shine as he teamed up with Jake Standley of 2273 records. Together this duo began to take hold of the underground Hip Hop scene and really market Felly’s Talent.



Father


Atlanta has always been a hotbed for dope rappers, however they are typically based in the trap scene. Father, with a no handout attitude really took all the right steps in order to make it in the industry. With a unique style unmatchable by any other artist he really exhibits what the art of music truly about; creating sound in a unique manner for the pleasure of others.



XVRHLDY


XVRHLDY is one of those artists that you could listen to for hours on end. With crystal like words thats just seem to fall out of his mouth and a flow dependent on deep and extremely well articulated bars he is instantaneously able to kill every instrumental he touches. XVRHLDY is that one needle in a haystack even against all the immensely popular artists found in the city of Chicago. 



Michael Christmas



Boston is known for artists like Sammy Adams, Cam Meekins, artists who have that new school boom bap sound. However Michael Christmas takes Boston Hip Hop to a whole new level. With such a versatile and usually attractive style Michael Christmas is able to shine on any instrumental he hops on. He is truly one of the most talented and hysterical artists in the game as his music is filled with witty and extremely funny references. 




Cal Scruby 



Cal Scruby is one of the craziest artists to ever come out of Ohio. Scruby possesses the unique ability to snap on every instrumental he touches and he has taken advantage of this rare talent and formed a unique sound around it. This 24 year old rapper is simply one of the best young talents in the underground Hip Hop scene and is bound to do big things in the future. 


SABA



Ever since Chance The Rapper had Saba feature on his song Chicago’s Something off of Acid Rap Ive been following his music. Not until recently did Saba begin to really pop and get the plays that he deserves. His latest mixtape Comfort Zone is one of the most amazing collection of work I have heard yet to date. In Comfort Zone Saba speaks the truth what is wrong with society, struggles in his own life and just observations of the world around us. Overall Saba is one hell of an artist and I see him doing some big things in the near future.




Danny Seth 



I recently really got into the UK hip hop scene and discovered Danny Seth. Although I only have been listening to his music for about a week or so I’ve done a lot of research and have seen how much he’s grown as an artist and the pure talent in which he posses. Danny is definitely the hottest out of London if not the UK and I look forward to more from him.




Goldie Lionheart



Goldie Lionheart is one of those artists that simply seems to do everything in the rap spectrum. From trap to old school Goldie will destroy every beat you simply throw at him. This kid seriously has something else and his versatility is unmatchable and is evident after listening to only a few songs of his. This Memphis rapper is truly a rare sight as everyone in the industry is trying to sound mainstream Goldie has kept to his own sound and is really beginning to shine because of his unique sound.





Pouya 



Miami rapper Pouya recently capitalized on the huge growth in the underground trap scene. Looking at Pouya you wouldn’t immediately pin him as a rapper. But once you listen to his music you realize that this little white boy is on his shit. I could listen to his music for hours on end and end up dancing around my room simply because of the fact his music is to turnt.




Rob Curly 



I have been with Rob Curly’s music for quite some time now and have spoken to him quite a few times. Rob is really a quality individual he’s one humble individual who really cares for his art, and is devoted to putting the best music he can for his fans. Rob another Miami artist has really picked up speed since the release of his single Eleven and then later his mixtape Eleven. If you are into stoner rap or just simply need something chill to vibe out to I highly recommend checking Rob’s music out.

DHZA - CA$UAL



Connecticut rapper DHZA takes hip hop back to its golden age. With a smooth and gritty flow similar to those in Pro Era or artists from the mid to late 90’s.

Chri$ Born - Thuggin


Coming straight out of Detroit, Mi. 18 year old Chri$ Born, an up and coming artist is following his passion for music. Chri$ began rapping AND producing at the age of 16, he believes that music is a way of life and without it the world be, “boring as fuck” (I agree). While listening to Chri$ Born, you can hear the influences of Travis $cott, Kanye West and Childish Gambino from the eerie upbeat and bright production to the way he comes on the microphone as very confident and live. There’s no doubt that Chri$ Born has a very unique style and talent. His latest project “XI” stands out very much as Chri$ rhymes about his future, dreams and throws it down for his city, the production sounds very futuristic and almost screams Travi$ Scott with a hint of Ye, definitely worth checking out. Chri$ is very consistent with his work and has a lot of content to listen to, you can expect bigger things in the future from him I am sure. At such a young age, Chri$ Born has a lot of room to grow as an artist, he is still perfecting his work and progressing as a young artist should be doing. Some of the stand out tracks from Chri$ Born are BEEN REAL, a very wavy and mellow beat which Chri$ lets us know that he’s been real since day 1 and that he’s just having fun pursuing his dreams. Another track is THUGGIN, a fun track that will keep your head bopping and make you feel like a thug, you can definitely hear the Travi$ Scott influence in that record from the vocals to the click clack production.

Nessly is an up and coming talent out of the greater Atlanta area. With a golden singing voice he is able to match his smooth and crystal like vocals with intelligently and meaningfully placed bars.

This kind of pure talent is extremely rare in this industry and is something that both true hip hop connoisseur and the general masses will appreciate.
