The Tens: 10 Emcees You Shouldn’t Sleep On After SXSW 2011
SXSW featured a ton of artists rocking multiple shows in Austin, TX. Some you may have been aware of, others you may not have been. Here are 10 artists that you may have slept on, but after making their presence felt at SXSW, we’re suggesting that you sleep on them no more. Oh, and before you ask where artists like Big K.R.I.T. and XV are, we already included them on our 10 Hip Hop Artists To Watch For In 2011 list. As for the likes of Big Sean and Odd Future, who’s sleeping on them these days?
