Dynos with the black mags..

Hip-hop Harry presents: Best faux hip hop of the year.

The Cool Kids - Black Mags

The Cool Kids, Mikey Rocks & Chuck Inglish from Chicago. They are releasing all of their music through their Myspace page and with 7 million views, an EP that is moving, and singles appearing in 2k Sports games its working. No record label needed, early.

The Knux - Bang Bang

The Knux is from New Orleans. They blew up recently. Their single was on Entourage. The album is pretty good, definitely worth the download.

Wale - W.A.L.E. D.A.N.C.E.

Wale is the rapper from DC. If you haven't heard of him yet, wait til his album drops next year. I'm predicting artist of the year if his album is anything like his mixtape.

Kid Cudi - Day and Night

Kid Cudi - Day and Night

Kid Cudi is from Cleveland. You might have seen him on the VMAs performing with Travis Barker and wondered who he was. I did. He landed a cameo on 808s and Heartbreak when he caught Kanye's eye with his mix tape "A Kid Named Cudi". His album drops spring '09.
