Fans Name Rappers They Think Will Blow Up This Year
Music fans jumped on Twitter to let us know which new artist will have the biggest 2017. Artists such as Don Q, XXXTENTACION, Nav, Kamaiyah and Kyle have have created a few waves in the industry and everyone is looking to forward to what these artists will bring to the table as the rest of the year plays out. Check out who fans think will blow up this year in the gallery below.
Don Q hasn't been in the game for too long but he's already stamping his name as one of the best newcomers in the industry. He started out dropping mixtapes with his label mate and close friend A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie and from there, his name catapulted into the spotlight. The Bronx rapper’s flow, gritty delivery and hood tales of drug dealing puts in the league of some of hip-hop’s most grimiest street rappers such as Fabolous, Meek Mill, Pusha T and more. The young MC recently dropped his highly anticipated mixtape Corner Stories, a 12-track effort that catches Don Q reliving the moments when he use to hustle.
X, who's new project Bad Vibes is set for a spring release, has made a huge splash online, despite (or perhaps because of) being locked up since last year. Kyle's collab with Lil Yachty "iSpy" has gone nationwide, while Nav just signed to The Weeknd and Kamaiyah is about to bust the year open with her new mixtape.
See who fans think are about to get big this year below.
