Breaking Through in 2011
Reader's Pick
Big Sean
Big Sean still may not finally be truly famous, but 2010 was a hallmark year for the G.O.O.D. Music emcee as he dropped his long-awaited Finally Famous Vol. 3 mixtape and walked side by side with Kanye West through the Good Friday series. It's doesn't take Nostradamus to predict that 2011's lined up to be a very, very big year for Sean (no pun intended), and with the support of DJBooth's readers, how can he fail?
Staff Pick
Diggy Simmons
Let's be real. There was no shortage of skeptical glances cast Diggy Simmons' way when we heard the teenage son of the legendary Reverend Run was launching a rap career...and then we actually heard the young man rap. Be it nature or nurture, Diggy's got some undeniable skills on the mic, and with the backing of some very powerful folks he's a safe bet to make major moves in 2011. When we look at Diggy Simmons, we might just be looking at rap's next big star.

Diggy Simmons has a great future ahead of him, and he's made the right friends in the industry to get him a slowly building but strong, and not fickle, fanbase.
Kanye's G.O.O.D. Fridays served two purposes. First and foremost it hyped up his album, obviously. Secondly, Kanye could use it to practically force Big Sean and CyHi into everyone's playlists. And it worked oh so well. It was a powerful marketing tool and it's benefits are being seen. All we need now is for CyHi and Sean to pull through in 2011. |

For once, we could have a hip-hop son whose potential can even shadow up to his dad's (sit down Birdman, he's not your real son)
