5 ‘not quite there yet’ Rappers I am checking for

5 dudes that I expect big things from. They all need either a better label, better publicist or to get in the studio and bang out an album.

Joelle Ortiz

Saigon - Get with Blaze and put out an album already!

Papoose - Somebody sign him like yesterday.

Obie Trice - Is way nicer than you think. We need a 3rd album asap.

Glasses Malone
- ‘Certified’ showed you knew how to get a song on the radio and we already knew you could rap your ass off.

Joelle Ortiz - I know you got Detox on deck but the game needs Joelle.

*Bonus*

5 new Dudes you need to be checking for.

Bishop Lamont - If you don’t know about this L.A. MC you are sleeping. Let’s see if Dre can get him, Joelle and Detox out in the same year.

Naledge - Kidz in the Hall - Get up to speed with one of the nicest dudes in the Chi. He has a 90’s Hip-Hop sensibility, but he’s not retro or corny.

Styliztik Jones
- Likiwit affiliate and dope MC. Peep him on the J-Wells album and on the last Liks album (with Bishop Lamont).

Trife the God - This dude bangs on every track he’s on, from the Theodore Unit mixtape to Fishscale. Ghostface, what’s cracking?

Guilty Simpson
- Stones Throw grabbed up Dilla homeboy and he has some heat. Check for the ‘STRAY BULLETS’ podcast on iTunes.
