Addictiveee bops, ear candy lyrics.. like in terms of *next up* in NYC? Pay attention and get to listening!
Malik English | Cross-Genre R&B, Hip-Hop Artist
The Thick Grandma with the cosmic tunes! The voice scratches an itch in my brain and the way the genres effortlessly melt into each other, an itch in my soul.
Bymaddz | R&B, Soul, & Funk
I would be remiss if I did not at least mention myself as an independent artist to listen to… somewhere between heartbroken and you can't f*ck with me. Known for evocative lyrics, heart felt melodies, and bold energy.. it's me :) check me out!
Éss the Éssample | Soul, Alt Hip Hop, & R&B
I just want to lay down in the park and listen to Musogabi all day.. the epitome of floating in musical form.
Musogabi | Indie Singer-Songwriter
Disco's Hot Younger Sister with a VOICE to match, child!! If you can make it to a show of Lila's while in NYC, so so worth it
Lila Wilde | Contemporary Disco
Magnetic pop star alert! Just.. enough said. Hearing “Chrome” in my ears, I know I'm about to head on a song journey that just might make my head explode.. exaggerated but no actually.
Rodney Chrome | POP STAR
Hailing from Kingston, Jamaica, Truvi's magnetic hypnotizing quality is one of my faves I've encountered in the NYC scene. Hearing her live? A treaaat!
Truvi - R&B Songstress
LA
Independent artists based out of LA you SHOULD know because this is the mecca of big artists, but don't underestimate the independent, underground scene!
MIISSS MILLION!!! Never a miss from my R&B, soulful sis. Treats the booth like a confession tape and the vulnerability and vocals combined are an experience for the ear. Tap in!!
Beth Million | R&B Songstress
“Music to Stretch to” to as he calls it and never short of quality. This insane artist did a 37 Week Song Challenge where he dropped a song EVERY week for 37 Weeks and for not one to be lacking is incredibly impressive. A soundscape and catalog that ...
Isaiah Mostafa | Contemporary R&B
ABBIANA SUPREMACY! Previously known as Abby T is the one y'all! “Womp womp womp” and “don't stresssss me ouuttt” still bopping about in my head. Still jammin from the Abby T era, and Abbiana is still giving us jazz influenced vocal and lyrical relian...
ABBIANA | Alt R&B and Hip-Hop
Philly
Independent artists based out of Philly you SHOULD know they're fire and something about Philly that is so slept on!
Introduced to Bey in my short time in Philly. His out of the box, unique ideas is translated so well in his visuals, lyric, and production. Sick, sick artist!
The Bul Bey | Hip-Hop Artist
Truly incredible talent, artist, and spirit and
FLUTIST! Sultry, seductive, and charming A community advocate, too who really utilizes her passion, drive, and history to make a difference (heavy on homage to the roots). But to the point of the music? So so talented and worth the listen

Atlanta (& Other Southern Areas)
Independent artists based out of Atlanta you SHOULD know because that Southern style hits different and you need them on your playlists.
Hailing in from my hometown, THE AUG!! But, I'm not showing any favoritism, Swaizy is flows just as smooth as his name suggests. Sometimes Christian influences, ALL times pure bars
SWAIZY | Latin, Southern Christian Trap
Mojo jo JO! I've been following Mojo Goon since his Op4 and Op Mob days and so so heavily slept on! I actually *don't* know a more talented lyricist and his production is always heavy hitting, nuanced, and smooth. I'm never not impressed by his work,...
Mojo Goon - Hip Hop & Rap Artist
Another artist I've been following for years. A floaty, smooth quality and unique cadence and flow that's so easy on the ears. On many of my “walking” and “vibes” playlists.
The Johnny Champagne | Hip-Hop & R&B Artist
