what up ill family.

what makes ya'll listen to a new artist...is it the hype or buzz...mixtapes...bet? lol. like i was yr. behind finally listening to drake since everyone kept mentioning him around me.

I don't do hype and i think mixtapes are a waste of music and water downs hiphop. For me it's just show you can make songs and have some presence to you, too many of these rappers coming up are all punchlines and aint rapping about shit. The content aint that important to me, you could be rapping about cocaine or Mandella, just make it dope.

i don't know, if i hear your verse somewhere/anywhere(mixtape, guest feature, and/or radio) and i like it i'll youtube some more of yo shit.

Some new artists stand the test of time and continually make appearances in places that I check... I'll be honest, I don't give new artists a chance very often. There are too many these days and most are trash..

If someone recommend a new artist I'll listen or if the artist is on a feature I might check him/her

now see, thats the first response i seen anywhere that is exactly how i feel. thats why my fave artists are those like budden, drake (not the singing songs lol) ti etc. artists that get personal in their music, you can relate other then going to the club and listening to those "club" songs.

like this song, about when your back is against the wall...all ya problems right in front of you!
