The music industry is so crazy right now. It seems like everyday a new artist is dropping and becoming huge, but some don’t really last that long. Here are some artists that I think will make noise in ‘08:
* definitely the Cool Kids. Their style is a mash-up of throwback and modern, and they really seem to be on the way. (on a side note, their business game needs to step up, still no Black Mags for Much, and I can’t wait to play that video on Rapcity).
* Kid Sister - and really, I’m going to say that anyone in ‘08 associated with Kanye and A-Trak will also be big in ‘08, keep your fingers crossed for Consequence too.
* Joell Ortiz - he was signed to Aftermath, (that’s Dr. Dre’s label, you know, the one that discovered 50 Cent, The Game and Eminem) and I’m hearing that he’s not anymore - but I still think you’ll be hearing about him. He’s getting a lot of hype right now and everything Dre touches eventually becomes big anyway.
P.S. My mentor Celine said I need to get more personal on my blogs, so here goes:
I’m on no sleep right now because I stayed up until 2:30 last night, I just couldn’t sleep for whatever reason … ok, some bad Kevin Bacon movie and it didn’t help that I was doing laundry until midnight. But if I ever become president of the world I’m making Monday the third day of the weekend, cause I’m thinking two days isn’t going to get me caught up on sleep and I can’t wait until Family Day. If that’s not enough personal info ask me whatever in the comments - I’m super tired and will probably answer honestly.

Oh hello there Celine, are you related to my mentor? a. Death Sentence. b. 2 loads but started late. c. to marry my mentor Celine and make babies.
I’m going to Cool Kids! Will I see you there?
I want to go! I thought I would interview them and go but now the int has disappeared from chubbs…? Where would I get tix?
When are they playing?!
They’re playing at Wrongbar on January 26 (Saturday).
Mike VK, if you can’t get a ticket at Rotate (they have them now), I will bring you as my guest. COOL?
Some time in late april
Nice Kat! I’ll rotate right away (and I’m rolling for two that night for my bros. birthday, but thanks for the offer!)
Lesson #2 from your mentor: It’s not a good look to publicize your lack of concert ticket hook-up via a blog.
Peep some pics from Jay-Z’s concert in Toronto!

Good work MVK. But more details. Like which bad Kevin Bacon movie did you watch, and why are you doing laundry util midnight? Did you do 17 loads, or did you have trouble seperating the whites from the darks. And what are your goals before you become president of the world? This is what your loyal constituients are wondering….
