Six days into 2021 and it seems like everybody’s in their bag. It’s so inspiring to see everybody starting the 1st quarter off so strong. I need this energy all year around. But until then, here are 10 artist buzzin’ this week:
1.TOOSII
I don’t know if it’s just me but it seems like Toosii came out of nowhere and started killing the game. He recently released a 6 track EP entitled DICKPRESSED which starts off with his hit singles “Sapiosexual” and “Love Cycle” featuring Summer Walker. Those tracks are followed by 4 more songs that are all a vibe. When was the last time you heard an EP you could listen to without skipping a track?
2.STERL GOTTI
Sterl Gotti is Detroit’s secret weapon. Although, the city makes noise right now on an Independent level. I truly believe Sterl Gotti is going to be the artist that brings attention to the city on a major level. He’s co-signed by Winner Circle, putting his production on a higher level. 2021 is guaranteed his year.
3.POOH SHIESTY
Memphis native Pooh Shiesty gained a lot of attention in a little bit of time. Back in April, he was signed to Gucci Mane’s 1017 after only rapping for about two years. Pooh Shiesty has also been featured on tracks with people like Lil Baby and Money Bagg Yo. His recent single “Back In Blood” with Chicago’s Lil Durk continues to go up.
4.DESS DIOR
Most people know Dess Dior for being best friends with Jayda Cheaves and most recently her relationship with Future. Aside from that, Dess is a rapper who talks that Rich shit. She was recently featured on a Christmas song with Coi Leray and Maliibu Miitch. I personally can’t wait to watch her prove all the people wrong who think she’s just some Instagram girl.
5.RUBI ROSE
Rubi Rose has a very distinctive voice that everybody loves. She’s super pretty and petite so you wouldn’t expect it from her; which makes the voice so much better. She recently released a project entitled For The Streets. After listening to the intro, I gained a lot of respect for her. I think 2021 will be the year that people put some respect on her name as an artist.
6.MAXREALLYREAL
Brownsville’s MaxReallyReal is really a vibe. I just discovered him on clubhouse but apparently I’m late. After doing some research it seems like he’s been buzzing in NYC for about a year or so now. In 2021, I’m expecting him to be buzzing everywhere. He’s most known for drill songs and has features with NY favorites like Banko Black, Eli Fross and Sosa Geek. About a week ago, he hit everybody with a plot twist, when he released “Ocean/Thought You Loved Me”; proving he’s a versatile artist.
7.SUKIHANA
To be honest, Sukihana recently pissed me off with one of her shenanigans. Since then I low key tapped her off my radar but I can’t deny what the people are talking about. A few weeks ago, Cupcakke dropped a diss track toward a few female rappers and Sukihana was the only one to respond. I respect that because I’m a firm believer that diss tracks are apart of Hip Hop. Last week, Sukihana followed up with her single “No One” showing a softer side of her.
8.NEEK BUCKS
Neek Bucks has been putting on for Harlem for some time now. A few months ago, he linked with Stunna Gambino for “Voice” which is almost at 400k views on Youtube. I’ve personally never been disappointed by a Neek Bucks release. 2021 is going to be the year the world sees his worth.
9.BILLY BLEU
New York was shocked when they found out that Billy Bleu was expecting a child. She’s a lot of rap girls’ goals and a lot of rap guys’ fantasies. Some people doubted that she could make a comeback but this week she let everybody know she’s back with a vengeance. I’m super excited to see what she brings to the table 2021.
10. E DOT BABY
Edot Baby is a 15 year old from Sugar Hill in Harlem. Every time I listen to him rap, I’m shocked that a 15 year old is reciting these lyrics. Nonetheless, I cannot deny that he’s hard. I’m just waiting for someone to snatch him up and sign him to their label.
