Needless to say we've introduced some interesting characters these past few years to the world. Some quite talented , others quite abstract, and some that were just plain out "what the fuck".
These new school artists are fighting and striving to make it in this industry, which is tricky. Especially with the average rate of album sales lower then they've ever been. Many of us find it so much simpler to click twice on our laptops and upload the albums sometimes weeks before the actual album release. Yet we claim to support these artists?
We aren't purchasing concert tickets anymore, like we used to. Touring is minimum. Cities are being cut out of the line up. It's quite sad. We protest our love for music but cannot support our love? Why is this? What are your thoughts...
Who has came out this year that you've supported? Who are you assuming will flop? What underground artists are you hoping will make it mainstream?
I think Mickey Factz & Kid Cudi are hot new school style artists. Mickey is VERY different, lyrically talented, funky style, crazy attitude LOVE IT. And Cudi is meshing into the music scene nicely.
ReplyDeleteDrake hands down, is the most successful new artist right now.
