Best New Artist (Signed) of 2010
Reader's Pick
J. Cole
When J. Cole's name began to surface in 2009, DJBooth readers wondered if he'd be able to deliver on the growing hype surrounding him. Question answered. In addition to closing off the year with his critically acclaimed Friday Night Lights mixtape, Cole consistently dropped must listen singles and somehow also found the time to lend his voice to several hits. The sky's the limit for Cole - we'll see just how high he can rise.
Staff Pick
J.Cole
Surprise, surprise, Jay-Z knows what he's doing. When Hova selected J. Cole to build his Roc Nation label around there was a lot of pressure on J. Cole's shoulders, but the young North Carolina emcee has proven more than up to the task, becoming widely hailed as both a deeply talented emcee and a rising star in the production game. Congratulations, Mr. Cole. Now, about that debut album...

This is so on point and just reflects the growth that J. Cole has had just in the last few months of the year, especially with Friday Night Lights. I'm hoping to see the same kind of success for R&B freshman Miguel, another immensely talented dude. Check out his site he's got some new videos up to get to know him a little better, plus contests and stuff. pretty dope
