The Newbies

So the other day XXLmag.com released who they thought were/are the top 10 new artists who are about to blow up in the world of rap and possibly beyond. Though I would love to go through and talk about each and everyone of the guys, I think it would get to be a little boring. As a result I will go through a couple of my favorites, BIG SEAN and Freddie Gibbs. Though there are no Drake's, Cudi's, B.o.B.'s, or Asher's its a solid list, a group that I hope will do well! Deezy I would put up download links but I dont know how to, can you hit me up as well as the rest of the crew??

1. First we have my man Freddie Gibbs. Freddie is from Gary, Indiana and my favorite on the list. It is no secret that I love gangsta rap and Freddie is no exception, but instead of being a retard off the block he is a brilliant mind and actually can spit that raw shit and though he may be from Indiana dont sleep on him. Check out his story here. He is truly just a raw artist who happens to be extremely talented. Unfortunately I dont see him making a huge splash on a mainstream level but in Hip Hop circles this man has to be respected. In my opinion he is a mix of dare I say 'Pac with his ruggedness and Joell Ortiz with his word play. Here are three songs by my man so you can check out his skills.

2. The next guy is BIG Sean. I posted his freestyle the other day and I hoped you liked it. He is different from Freddie in that he is not as raw nor as gangsta but damn is he skilled. He has a laid back flow but with incredibly clever word play. He has a confidence/arrogance on the mic similar to that as Drake and I really think he can make a splash. He has the ability to create good songs with good chorus' too which we all know is the most important part of making it on the radio (aside from AMILLI). He is signed to G.O.O.D. music and truth be told with the hottest producer in the planet (kayne) backing him I dont know how this kid can lose. Here are a couple of his gems off UKNOWBIGSEAN.
