Karrahbooo
From: ATL
For Fans Of: Lil Yachty, Young Thug, the Atlanta rap scene
Why We’re Watching: Karrahbooo’s recent track, “BOX THE 40”, has been making serious waves, especially with Lil Yachty giving her a nod. This young queen’s collaboration on an “On The Radar” freestyle with Yachty and the Concrete Boys has solidified her spot in the game. Her style? Think ATL’s gritty storytelling meets melodic flows. She’s repping for the next gen of female rappers, with an unapologetic style that’s impossible to ignore.
BigXthaPlug
From: Texas, baby!
For Fans Of: Mike Jones, Texas rap, Swishahouse vibes
Why We’re Watching: With his hard-hitting, unapologetically Texas vibe, BigXthaPlug is making noise in all the right ways. His debut album “Amar” and singles like “Mmhmm” are showing up on the charts, and his collab with Offset on “Climate” broke through on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop chart! This guy’s got that Southern grind and the bars to back it up. Keep an eye on him, y’all – BigXthaPlug is just getting started, and Texas rap hasn’t seen someone this real in a minute.
Ken Carson
From: ATL (Yep, it’s ATL running things again!)
For Fans Of: Playboi Carti, goth trap vibes
Why We’re Watching: Bringing that dark, almost cinematic trap energy, Ken Carson is already on his fourth release, “More Chaos”. Known for his crazy live performances and gothic style, he’s all about creating an atmosphere that hits different. At just 24, Ken’s all about that “organized chaos” – expect moody beats, intense lyrics, and some real raw energy that’ll pull you in. Ken’s in it to take over, and trust us, you’ll want to be there when he does.
Renata Flores & Lenin Tamayo
From: Peru
For Fans Of Cultural fusion, hip-hop with heritage
Why We’re Watching: These artists are bringing Quechua to hip-hop, trap, and even Q-Pop – a whole new genre rooted in Peruvian culture! Renata and Lenin are more than musicians; they’re cultural ambassadors using their platforms to keep Quechua alive. It’s powerful, it’s new, and it’s setting the global stage on fire. You’ve gotta respect the way they’re preserving their heritage and flipping it with a modern twist.
