You’d be a fooool not to listen to this…… If you’re familiar with our Class of 2009 post a few months back, then you’ll know exactly who Tiron is and what his material consists of. And if you don’t know who the Los Angeles native is, skate over to his MySpace residence and get better acquainted.

As for right now, it might be in your best interest to scroll down, download his latest offering, Ketchup (Mixed by DJ Low Key. No, that’s not me) and let it marinate in your skull for a bit, you won’t be sorry. Also, check out his video for “3 Drink Minimum”, an entertaining and detailed visual of what happens when him and his buddies get together for a night of fun. Jeez, that visual looks VERY familiar lol.

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!
