The Year of the Indie Rapper

2010 was actually a decent year for music. Wit Atlanta still controlling the rap game and makin hits for the club rats to party to, alot of new and up coming rappers forged a name and expanded their audience to include the non-hipsters.


#1 - CURREN$Y


Former roster member of Cash Money & No Limit, Curren$y made a name for himself this year gettin heavy rotation on MTV and headlining the Smoker's Only TOur wit Big K.R.I.T, DZA, and Nesby Phipps..One of the better lyricist [in my opinion] Spitta continues to put out mixtapes and CDs in rapid succession...Make sure to check out Smokee RObinson, 24 Hour Flight School by Ski Beats ( which features Tabi Bonney), Pilot Talk 1 & 2...u guaranteed to join the JET LIFE fandom ...


#2 WIZ KHALIFA
Pittsburgh native Wiz made a dent in pop(& pot) culture when he released one of the best mixtapes of the year, Kush & OJ...Yet to release his debut album but he u never know he never had a major LP out yet...his fan base is strong...lets see wat the future have to hold from da head of da TAYLOR GANG
