What's Hot in Indie Hip Hop - CMJ style

So I've been trying to freshen up my hip hop playlist. I'm just a bit behind, but every so often I peek in on the CMJ list to see how they are shaking things up.

This week they've got Akrobatik on top, followed by Del tha Funky Homosapien, then Cadence Weapon. I've heard that the Del project is a hot one. Who's missing out here?

There's alot of interesting artists on the CMJ Hip Hop Top 20. But mostly I was checkin out the labels:
Oh, and there's a new Guru - you can't go wrong w/Guru!

Labels: , , , , , , , ,

Hiya Radiogirl,

I run Audible Treats, a music marketing and publicity firm. I came across your blog and saw that you cover a lot of my clients, such as Del and Akrobatik and Embedded Music. I'd like to send you some audio streams and news to post on your blog. If interested, hit me up at michelle [at] audibletreats.com.

Btw, Embedded Music's website is: http://www.embeddedmusic.net/

Thanks!

d.frost's new album, I Can't Hear, to drop this summer. Download 2008's, Spare Time, for free here. http://www.last.fm/music/d.fRost/Spare+Time

It's an old school, organic, musical journey, clean and fresh style of hip hop.
