I decided to do a blog on some of my favorite emcees. I looked around the globe and these are the cats I found. It's funny because I believe in all of them. All of them are ground breaking emcees, ready to spit, spit, spit! In an industry full of wackness, sometimes we have to highlight the good. I wanted to pay tribute to the overlooked people in the game. Check em' out. Combined they've been featured in more than four major hip hop websites, in The Source magazine, in the iStandard "Beast of the Beats" competition, in local commercials and they all made it to my blog. Watch out industry dudes! Check out videos and the brief views...lol. PEACE! I luv u people!

Why he's hot: For him, it's more than music, it's a lifestyle. He's been on HBO's Def Poetry, Graduation (itunes version) and he's dope. He has a sick flow with crazy metaphors...not a lot of similes...which is a good thing. He's actually bigger than rap...if you ask me.
