New Artists for 2009!


What's going on y'all? Its been a minute since I've written a blog. But I'm back and I'm here to hook everyone up with some new artists that have had a hold of my attention for the past few months. I figured since its a new year, your I pod should be filled with some forward moving Hip-Hop.

The first artist is a Harlem native by the name of Charles Hamilton. A lot of people like to compare him to Kayne West but I disagree. This kid is an original talent. If I had to compare him to someone, I would have to say something like Q-tip mixed with Pharrell Williams. Or maybe Lupe Fiasco. However it may be, Charles Hamilton is the future of Hip-Hop music. The reason why I feel so strongly about this kid is because of his passion for music. He understands that Hip-Hop has become boring and wants to wake it up. Check out his single, "Brooklyn Girls" and believe me, 2009 belongs to Charles Hamilton.

The next artist that I'm going to share with y'all is Kid Cudi out of Cleveland, Ohio. Kid Cudi is Kanye West's new artist on the G.O.O.D. music label. Cudi's music is a double-edged sword with his rhyme skills and his ability to sing. I think he can be compared to Travis McCoy of Gym Class Heroes, except with a little more B-boy style. Kid Cudi raps with a "not give a fuck" attitude and he isn't afraid to try new things. Check the kid out. His single is "Day N Night". Also check out his mixtape entitled,"A Kid Named Cudi."
