Watch out for them…
Here’s a few new artists I’ve been diggin’ lately, and I’ve either forgotten or been lazy to post up about ‘em. Educate yourselves and check them out. Credits to Wikipedia for the descriptions LOL. And yes, I know some artists, like Drake, aren’t “new” - they’ve actually been on the scene for a long time - but it’s now that they’re starting to appear more in the mainstream.
1. Drake
Aubrey Drake Graham is a Canadian actor and recording artist. He is best known for playing Jimmy Brooks, the basketball star that became physically disabled after he was shot by a classmate on Degrassi: The Next Generation.
