Pardison Fontaine

Pardison Fontaine a rapper on the rise putting Newburgh, New York on the map. Often referred to as Pardison or Pardi for short, highlights his small city in his videos and his rhymes.  Pardison whos  music has gotten a thumbs up from Nas, delivers rhythmic metaphors and punchlines over solid beats.  Brooklyn rapper Fabolous even hopped on the remix for Pardi’s hit song ‘In The Field’ along with Casanova 2x.  Pardison Fontaine’s artistry is not one to ignore.

GASHI

The stars are aligning for Gashi. The Brooklyn-based rapper has been picking up buzz over the last few months, and his rise hasn’t gone unnoticed with a deal through RCA and a management look with Roc Nation. Gashi is finishing his upcoming album Stairs 2, but for now fans can keep it locked with his new single “Used to Be.”


G Perico

The West Coast has so much talent beyond the obvious stars like Kendrick, YG, Nipsey and more. One artist who has also been around for a bit, G Perico, is finally going to get his shine this year. At the end of 2017, Perico released his 2 Tha Left project, which led him to an upcoming headlining tour starting in February. Connected with all the right folks, and making some of the most authentic, hard-hitting music, G Perico will be a name you say often this year.

Sylvan Lacue

Sylvan Lacue has been on our radar for a long time now (back when he was QuESt) and we truly believe 2018 is his year. He just released his new project Apologies In Advance, which is a vulnerable and message-filled body of work that the industry is dying for at the moment. Sylvan’s got the character, the talent and the right team behind him to take his career to new heights in 2018. We’re excited to witness it.


S.I.R.

Making his debut on Top Dawg Entertainment in 2017 with his Her TOO EP, S.I.R. continues to make his presence known as he recently followed up with his debut album, November. With the TDE engine behind him, S.I.R. is destined to do big things in 2018. The way TDE has developed their previous artists and have them strike at the exact right time has been the reason they’ve seen so much success and from the looks of it, S.I.R.’s sitting in the batter’s box. Expect new music, strong visuals and more show appearances in 2018. Also don’t be surprised if he swoops in with a hit record.
