Top 6 Upcoming Rappers You Should Not Sleep On – Part 2

This is the second run at showcasing new talent that should not be slept on. The first run was pretty interesting, but at this point It’s necessary to show more talent because its out there. Go through the list and leave your comments on whether you agree or not.
6.) Wale

Wale is a new artist in the same category as Drake but not as talented. I’m not his biggest fan but I won’t deny his potential or his growing fan base. I’m interested to see the path he takes in the rap game. He can make potential moves that could land him in the forefront of the game. He also has a very pop look which would make him acceptable to a broader audience. I personally don’t collect his mixes but I am open to his new music.

5.) Charles Hamilton

The same guy who got punched in the face is actually pretty good. Charles has talent for being interesting, I don’t know any other artists that have an obsessions with videogame characters (He is really into Sonic for some reason). I don’t like all his freestyles or songs but the ones I do like, really shine. He was really growing until the incident with that girl’s fist. If he can get over this hump, he will be an interesting person to watch.
Charles Hamilton – Neverland
4.) Mickey Factz

Most of you have already heard his name. Factz has been generating buzz for quite some time and the most recent news is his signing to Jay-z’s roc-nation. Jay-z’s backing gives Mickey a bit of an advantage as did Weezy’s backing of Drake. Hopefully he takes it and runs. He is a pretty good artist but I’m convinced he will transform to great one very shortly

3.) Joell Ortiz

New York is dead, nobody is really watching for hip hop from there unless its from respected figures like Jay and Nas(not as much, but you get what I mean). However, Joell is building quite a buzz for himself. To be frank, Joell’s substance is not unique to New York..But he is bringing his style from a time when New York was explosive. There is a strong possibility that Joell will rot in the underground because he’s not the typical pop rapper both in style and substance. However, at one point Wu-tang was selling millions…so who knows
Joell Ortiz – 125 Grams
2.) Drake

Drake is one of the most talked about new acts since Lil Wayne’s resurrection to music. If you are well versed in blogs, you probably couldn’t go a week without seeing a drake post. Its well deserved, he has undeniable talent in lyrics and general music creation. I don’t think he really needs to be on this list because he has a huge amount of hype but I put him on nonetheless to knock the few people who are still resistant.
Drake – Unsuccesful
1.) B.O.B or Bobby Ray

Bobby is one of the artist you take pride in uncovering because he his definitely a hidden gem. I’m not the biggest south fan but his style has great combination of southern influence and gifted lyrcism. His lyrics are honest and observant which is a change from the “swagger” rap that is trendy at the moment. His style is very reminiscent of older outkast with an additional unique factor.
Bobby Ray – Generation Lost
