1. Popular by S-preme. This song was easily one of my top played songs in my itunes for 2010. If you dont already have it, this song is a MUST DOWNLOAD. This Chicago native combines his ill lyricism ontop of a beat which samples the song "wicked" (yes, were talking about the musical). Check it out -
2. Power In Attention - Aziz. This kid is an up and coming lyrical genius. In this song he just simply spits fire without the use of any hooks or stops whatsoever. Keep an eye out for this kid in 2011 and whenever his name shows up on a music blog or website, I highly recommend you download it. Check him out-
3. Hoodie Allen's mixtape, Pep Rally, is no question one of the top 10 mixtapes of 2010. Because of his unreal ability to flow, nice lyricism and prime selection of sampling, Hoodie Allen has become one of my favorite artists. In the song below, "Swimming with Sharks," Hoodie samples VV. Brown's hit "Shark in the Water" and makes magic. The only way to describe it would be if that Blue Oyster shit met that Afghan Kush and they had a baby. And then, meanwhile, that crazy Northern Light stuff and the Super Red Espresso Snowflake met and had a baby. And by some miracle, those two babies met and fucked - this would the shit that they birthed. Yeah...hes that good-

4. 2010 proved to be a great year for the electronic sensation known as dubstep. It seemed like every single one of Ellie Goulding's hits couldn't find a way to hide from a dubstep remix. Thank God they didn't because Jakwob's remix of Ellie Goulding's song "Starry Eyed" had to be one of the best upbeat techno/dance beats of 2010. Definitely worth downloading. The other featured video is another dubstep banger, "Gold Dust Remix" and I highly recommend you listen to it. Its rumored that a kid once played this song in the hospital and his brother woke from a coma.. just sayin. Check it -

5. Its no secret that Mac Miller, the 18 year old out out of Pittsburgh, PA is the next big thing. For any of you nonbelievers just check out the mixtape he dropped this passed August, "K.I.D.S." and it will speak for itself. When this first dropped I played it on repeat for about a week straight, not even exaggerating. I have been a fan of his stuff even when he was 15 and going by the name of easy mac. From an early age, it was clear this kid was gonna make it big some day. The mixtape "K.I.D.S." is a great representation of his talent and what he is capable of delivering on any type of beat. His choice of sampling and lyrics are what sets him apart from all others in the game. You gotta check him out and if you like what you hear, his success doesn't start or end with "K.I.D.S." you can find plenty of other jams that are just as good in his other albums. Below is the official music video for "Don't Mind If I Do" one of his better songs from the mixtape and not to mention its a pretty entertaining video. Look out for this guy in 2011 -

6. "Uh Huh - You know what it is.." Following along the trend of hot rappers out of Pittsburgh, PA, we find Cameron Thomaz, better known as Wiz Khalifa. Not only are Mac Miller and Wiz both natives of Pittsburgh, they are both now signed with Rostrum Records and will hopefully be dropping some new stuff together in the months to come. It is no doubt that these two will be an unstoppable duo and have proven to rostrum to be a great pickup. In 2010, Wiz dropped, "Kush & Orange Juice" and there its no question that he is one of the hottest up and coming rappers of the year. Ever since his release to Kid Cudi's "Pokerface" he can be found all over music websites. Basically, if you don't already know Wiz Khalifa, you have been living under a rock and should probably leave this website. Wiz is also known for making some great music videos that you should checkout on youtube, below we posted one of his best. Taylor gang or fucking kill yourself..
