Brooklyn based Das Racist is another one of those new hip hop crews to watch out for. Known for their use of humor and unkonventional style they made it into almost everybodys Top Tunes of 2010, including ours. After rising to Internet fame with their 2008 song “Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell”, Das Racist established themselves with the release of their 2010 mixtapes Shut Up, Dude and Sit Down, Man.

or to most of you better known by his stage name J. Cole is not only in my eyes one of the most promising mcees out there and it´s about time to give him a proper introduction on our blog. We already had his song “Higher” in our YUM YUM Top 50 Tunes 2010 but their is way more material out there worth to be mentioned. Cole released his debut mixtape, The Come Up, in 2007 and when Jay Z heard his song “Lights Please” he decided to sign him right away for his label Roc Nation. Since then he appeared on “The Blueprint 3” featured Jay Electronica, Mos Def, Hi Tek, B.o.B and so on. There is also a Album on the way but I have no further details on the release date only that “Who That” is supposed to be the first single.Really lookin foward to hear more by J.Cole!
