Rap Artists to Look Out for in 2018 - New York

Posted: 31 Aug 2017 07:34 PM PDT

What's up everybody, I saw a thread a couple months ago about the same kind of idea, but, one rapper from each state, I was thinking I could write up a piece on a couple rappers from EVERY State.

New York

Name - Bishop Nehru

Soundcloud Link - https://soundcloud.com/bishopnehru

Songs To Check Out

WW3

2014 Love$truck77

Bishop is well known in most rap groups due to his collaboration with MF Doom (NehruvianDOOM) , Nas, and opening up for Wu Tang Clan back in 2016. He has been praised HEAVILY within rap circles due to his hard hitting lyrics and crazy beats. He's got a flow unmatched by many other young emcees, and he will definitely be making waves within the next few years.

Bishop reminds me of MF Doom much in a way of he never stops rapping, he keeps going with his flow. Him and Doom are very similar.

At age 13, Nehru began making jazz tracks and hip hop instrumentals under the name "Kelz Scott" soon being changed to the name Kile Kanvas at age 14. Nehru released his earlier works on the Odd Future forum. Nehru chose his stage name from a combination of Tupac's character in the movie Juice, noting that the character of Bishop inspires him "to go out and get mine, you've got to earn respect" and Nehru is taken from the former prime minister of India, Jawaharlal Nehru.

Name - JJ Arns

Soundcloud Link - https://soundcloud.com/jjarns

Songs To Check Out

Heaven and Hell Freestyle ft. Marz

Awake

JJ is relatively unknown in the city, but has his music bumping around the Hudson Valley and Westchester counties. JJ has a unique, deep, easy to distingush voice, when you hear a JJ Arns song, you know it's a JJ Arns song.

JJ started in High School with a song that dissed a fellow student who cheated on his girlfriend, from there, the entire school knew his name. He was a icon in his high school.

He borrows styles from artists like Rick Ross and Future to make a very trap based song. JJ has been steadily improving everything in his repertoire. Most of his songs deal with depression, and the impact it has had on his life, breaking up with his girlfriend, and other things that have changed his life for better or for worse. JJ's first album should be coming out in the first quarter of 2018.

Part of group called Unedited Musik, formed in college with other artists from Five Towns College, JJ looks ahead to 2018 with much passion, hard work, and ambition to make his hobby a rap career.

Name - Chris Rivers

Soundcloud Link - https://soundcloud.com/chrisrivers-2

Songs To Check Out

Ten Toes Down Freestyle

Tri Force Freestyle

Rivers is hip-hop royalty, the son of the late Big Pun. But far from leaning on lineage, Chris Rivers has made a name for himself in the indie scene as an elite spitter that could go toe to toe with any MC from any era.

His two projects from 2016, Medicated Consumption 1 and 2, are filled with old school production that showcases Rivers' elite technical skills. With some recent high profile radio spots and a handful of notable cyphers under his belt, Rivers is on the come up and getting better and better with every drop.

Name - Dyme-A-Duzin

Soundcloud Link - https://soundcloud.com/dymeaduzin-1

Songs To Check Out

Food for Thought

That Chicken ft. Fabulous

Hardcore underground heads who have been following the state of the NYC scene since Pro Era's come up recognize Dyme-A-Duzin, thanks to his early association with Joey, CJ Fly and Steez. Today he's signed to Atlantic, but hasn't managed to make a splash commercially.

Much like Pro Era's success, Dyme-A-Duzin's major label deal proves there's a place in the mainstream machine still for boom bap artists representing traditional New York style. While the exact size of that place is still to be determined, if Joey's success is any indication, boom bap and album sales aren't mutually exclusive.

Name - Westside Gunn

Soundcloud Link - https://soundcloud.com/westsidegunn

Songs To Check Out

Macho on Coke ft. Mach Hommy

Bob Backlund

When it comes to new rappers coming out of New York, you can almost always expect a handful of them to be traditionalists. Some manage to not sound dated. Westside Gunn and Conway harken back to the days of Mobb Deep and CNN, but are unmistakably making music for a new generation.

The tough-minded rappers from Buffalo have quietly become the underground favorites thanks to projects like FLYGOD and Hitler Wears Hermes IV which don't slouch in their use of dusty soul loops and feature fellow intricate New York MCs Roc Marciano and Action Bronson. The self-proclaimed fashion rebels have promised at least four projects in 2017—two of them with legendary producers Just Blaze and Alchemist. The Griselda Gang plans to re-up with new wave NYC street raps by any means necessary in 2017.

Thanks ya'll for taking the time to read this, if you want me to do this for every state and make it series, let me know in the comments. Open to all comments, questions and concerns, thanks again.
