BIO
See that kid in the photo? That was me six years ago. I’m 23 now. Look at me—so young, so full of life! I didn’t have a care in the world. I was free and ambitious to bring something new to the table. My talent as a young man in high school took me as far as Paramount Studios, I remember. This photo was just the beginning of a journey that would forever mark my life as an artist.

Best Female Horrorcore Rappers
These ladies are honestly quite hard to miss. Horrorcore genre, as a whole, deals with a wide spectrum of topics and beliefs when it comes to both music and style. These rappers are practically the opposite of the best nerdcore rappers! Overall, they share in one common message: gruesome violence. It may sound almost like a bad thing, but perhaps it depends on who is examining the music itself. You see, horror fused with hip-hop is the essential background of this subgenre, but there's of course much more that goes into it.

Top Hip Hop Hits of 2010's (According to Me)
The 90’s and early 2000’s brought some of the most iconic hip hop artists of all time. From 2pac to 50 cent rap overwhelmed the music scene for nearly a decade and a half. With such success in the past many have begun to question the current state of the rap and the future of the industry. Although a demographic feel that the golden years of the genre are in the past I argue some of the greatest hits are among this very decade and that the future will only offer more. Below I have provided several examples of my favourite rap songs produced throughout this decade.

Hip-Hop Artist Plans to Set It Off
If a musical research specialist were to conduct a nationwide poll asking a few hundred people what the hottest musical genre currently is in the country, about eighty to ninety percent of them would either say EDM (Electronic Dance Music) or hip-hop. The truth is, both hip-hop and rap are at the forefront of modern music, and that will be the case for years to come. The waves of popularity the genre has already generated are astronomical in numbers. This is old news to those who are knowledgeable of the history of hip-hop, but to others who are not, this is a relatively new era of thrilling musical styles and different approaches to creativity.

Best Japanese Rappers You Can Listen to Right Now
The music industry in Japan is very diverse compared to many other countries. While they're ideal in creating traditional music, they're also really popular in hip-hop. In fact, hip-hop is one of their most loved genres. Even hip-hop artists' fashion is unique as they dress in vintage sports jackets, baggy pants, caps—overall a 90s hip-hop style. Just like how singers in pop are praised for their catchy music, Japanese rappers are getting a lot of the spotlight, too.
