Trajik

Trajik is gearing up to be a force in 2015. After releasing "9" along with visuals for "Land of the Free" and "Disrespectful", he set his fanbase on fire again. Stay tuned for his new project "Real Rap". Follow him on twitter: @trajikworld

Maxie

Although Maxie fell out of the Top 10 this year, it was not for lack of work. He put out a new clothing line F.L.I.P. as well as new music with DJ Champ at the end of the year. His MNMB imprint is steady growing and he will definitely be moving back into the line up in 2015 I anticipate. Follow him on twitter: @Maxie317

Amani Tre Niner

Amani Tre Niner and his "Middle of The Map" movement made great strides in 2014. He released Tattoo Muzik hosted by DJ Holiday and is known throughout many of the tattooing circles as a master artist. Along with his appearance at SXSW he also was featured in Source Magazine and is gearing up to release a new single and project in 2015. Keep checking on his progress.

2KDrae

This artist from Northern Indiana begun making waves with his single ft Lil Herb "Thotiana". Since then, he has been featured in Hip Hop Weekly as an "Artist to Watch" and is investing and moving around putting his brand out. Keep a look out for this dark horse with the Chicago flow.

DJ Champ

This is our FIRST DJ feature in this edition, but DJ Champ as been working is craft and brand. His "Mixing Up The Medicine" series as well as his induction to the Atlanta based "The Commission" DJ crew as pushed DJ Champ's work to the fore front. He announced at the end of the year that he is the official DJ for Atlantic Records artist "Que" and will be embarking on an overseas tour in the near future. Keep a watch for this powerhouse as he becomes a household name.

Splitseed Roc

This artist with his Y.N.G.I. movement has burst onto the scene in 2014. His single was recognized and being pushed by industry vets, Bigga Rankin, DJ Smallz, Bigg V, Dj Poncho and others. This artist has the unique auto-tune flow that sets apart his style from what's currently out there. Be on the look out for big things from him in 2015.
