Introducing The Class of 2009….. The Class of 09 is a PROMISING one. They possess the confidence of the legends, but the restlessness of well, rookies. Some hail from the east, some from the west, others from the north, some from the south…either way, they’re bringing something new to the hip hop forefront.

Do I have a favorite? Nah, not yet, but I do know each and every one of these artists have already commenced a huge following in their own right. Below you’ll find our picks for The Class of 2009 along with a couple of ditty’s to get you familiar with their specific sound. ENJOY!
