NEW MUSIC FOR 2022 Q2: 8 RISING ARTISTS YOU NEED TO HEAR

#1 Key Glock

Watch out for this talented rapper from Tennessee, US! Key Glock delivers cold, stark, uncompromising verses about sex, guns, and money. Updating the woozy, narcotic style of Memphis greats that came before him like Three 6 Mafia, Key Glock found success with critics, fans, and the charts with projects like 2020’s Yellow Tape and two Dum and Dummer releases with Young Dolph. Following the 2020 mixtape Son of a Gun, he again paired with Dolph, hitting number eight on the Billboard 200 with 2021’s Dum and Dummer 2, before releasing his sequel mixtape Yellow Tape 2.

#2 Aaron Carter x 3D Friends

World-famous Aaron Carter and 3D Friends are making waves in the pop music scene with a fresh song called “She Just Wanna Ride,” a fruitful collab that is one of many on Carter’s album Blacklisted. Aaron Carter is a multi-platinum singer and is listed by the Guinness Book of World Records as the youngest singer to have four consecutive top ten singles. 3D Friends, who joined in on the writing and production process for multiple songs in Blacklisted, has had his work featured in various MTV projects including World of Jenks, Underemployed, The Pauly D Project, and Punk’d, in addition to ABC’s Revenge and Bravo’s Gallery Girls. The vibration and frequency emitting from their new track is everything. Check it out:

#3 BriGuel 

The much-loved couple artist BriGuel is about to go big, dropping fresh music left and right. Their most recent single “Lately” has garnered lots of attention from fans and critics alike. The melodic, positive song truly serves BriGuel’s genre-borderless fame by combining conscious rapping and powerfully charged vocals in the chorus. BriGuel said: “From the notes in a musical score to those given on a script or a set, we put our heart and soul into everything we do, developing and delivering powerful stories that drive emotional impact.” Indeed, all of their work is focused on speaking words of encouragement to the world through art. This includes singles like “Looking For Answers”, “Life Is A Lesson”,  “Without Darkness” and more. If this is where music is heading- we are so excited. We legitimately need more Briguels. We’re in sync. Stream Lately here:

#5 TheHxliday

TheHxliday shares “DOSES”, another beautiful single that has already gathered hundreds of thousands of fans.
