Check out the artists I see blowing up!
The Cool Kids coming straight out of Illnois, consist of Inglish & Mikey Rocks rapping with old school flows and banging beats. Their Myspace page labels their tunes as rockability, big beat, and hip hop. Their influences consist of some of the greatest like Jimi Hendrix, James Brown, Red Hot Chili peppers, Timbaland, & N.E.R.D. Their video for Black Mags is already all over MTV Hits. Plus their styles are the illest, so fucking vintage! Get Wit It Yo!
Santogold coming straight out of the best place on earth, BROOKLYN, is being called the NY M.I.A., but she definitely has her own style apart from her good friend Maya. Even the King of Pop himself has played some snippets of her tracks on his radio station overseas. Her Myspace labels her as new wave, dub, & psychobilly, but I'd call it simply indescribable. She's got an ill voice and something to talk about. Listen Up!
Kenna isn't exactly new on the scene, so everyone should know who he is by now. Born in Addis Ababa, but raised in Virginia Beach, Kenna has been doing this officially since 2003 and has been working with Pharrell and The Neptunes ever since. His Myspace labels him as experimental, pop, & alternative. He's also got a clothing line with some pretty cool merchandise. You can catch his video on MTV or hear my personal fav "Say Goodbye To Love" on the dance floor. Fucks with it here!
Chromeo! You gotta love these Canadians! Their electro pop sound has got me dancing all around my bedroom. Although their Myspace page says it's 2-step, haha, it's that too. By looking at them, you'd never imagaine P-Thugg & Dave 1 to be in a group together, an Arab/Jew friendship, but thank God they are 'cause the music represents coolness to its fullest. I'd love to be Dave 1's tenderoni, lolz :P They both got their own personal style. In Complex's Dec/Jan issue P-Thugg expresses his love for original JO's and Levi's classic jeans and one of Dave 1's favorite designers is Margiela and he digs New Cure Denim by A.P.C. Get to Dancing!

i listened to those cool kids
they iight... still prefer my wutang and biggie :]
poeple that created there on lane will go down in history for hip-hop or wutever genre music they choose. as an artist i respect that. Even though sometimes i hate when my girlfriends is blasting M.I.A. in my room, i find myself saying some of the lyrics. there are some many languages of music out there, and you cant be narrow-minded and listening to one type. expand your mind and embrace art.
