The Florida Based “Kodak” is on the name of every hip hop fan after releasing “Project Baby”. Expect to hear alot more from him in 2016.

Known on the streets of ATL simply as “21”, Mr. Savage has worked with most of ATL’s top beatmakers and is right on par for a great year.
Rich The Kid
Migo’s label mate “Rich The Kid” has been around for a while, but working alongside PartyNextDoor, Boosie BadAzz, and ilovemakonnen in 2015 how long can you expect someone to wait thier turn?

In the mold of Young Thug, LiL Uzi Vert goes thru a range of emotions in his music. His mixtape, “Luv Is Rage”, has recieved rave reviews on the internet.
Pop-A-Lot
The Virginia based Pop-A-Lot, by way of Brooklyn NY, had a stellar 2015 after working with Ty Dolla $ign, reputed hit makers Zaytoven, and 808 Mafia. Expect to hear more from Pop in 2016.
