Why we naming obvious names in this thread, I thought we talking about this NEW generation
The names that you may consider obvious have enough room for debate, but you have a fair point. I played it kind of safe in the OP.
When I was initially making this thread, there were a few
new "new" artists that I thought about including. One was
XXXtentacion, mostly because of the lore with the No Jumper interview, his aesthetic, the fact that he died so young and in tragic fashion while leaving such a limited body of work, and the fact that he has music that could come out posthumously. It wouldn't be surprising at all to see his story grow into a legend.
The other one that I'm a little less sure about is
6ix9ine, but he's got such a distinct image, vast home base, legal controversy, and unconventional style, which could definitely help him when creating a movement. I've said it before, but he's definitely the Conor McGregor of the rap game right now and I wasn't really sure how far he could go before "Fefe", but I could also see ears getting burned out by his sound.
The dark horse I've thought of, after doing some reading up, was
Tay-K 47. I'm way late getting hip to him because I'd SEEN "The Race" floating around, but had never taken the time to really look into it.
His story is already
and he's only 18.
If he EVER, through some miracle in his favor, ends up outside of bars, gets with the right people, and turns his shyt around...he's got a hell of a story to tell.
