Besides the fact that he hangs out with Lindsay Lohan, Wale has so many songs that make me love him. And he's from D.C., what other rapper do you know from D.C.?
Wale - Nike Boots
2. Citizen Cope
His songs have been featured in sooooo many movies/tv shows that it's ridiculous. Somehow people still don't know who he is though.
Citizen Cope - Appetie for Lightin' Dynamite
3. Blue Scholars
Alright, I'll agree that they look really awkward, but the music that the make is far from it.
Blue Scholars - Sagaba
4. Sia
Dude. I absolutely love her voice. White Lauryn Hill? That might be going to far, but she's definitely one of my top 5 female artists.
Sia - Soon We'll Be Found
5. Oh!
Dude, is extremely up-and-coming. You've probably never heard anything about him. He kinda does a Pharrel-type-neptunes thing. I don't know, but I like it.
Oh! - So Many Windows(Featuring Esso & Nero)
6. Les Nubians
I feel like everyone has heard a song by them atleast once in their life. Their album is amazing though, so I strongly suggest you looking it up. Even if it is entirely in French.
Les Nubians - Makeda
7. Paul Baribeau
Honestly, I'm not sure if this man has any real talents(other than song writing), but I enjoy his music. I'll agree it's an acquired taste.
Paul Baribeau - Ten Things
8. Alice Smith
Top 10 female artists selection of mine. And she had a song on Entourage! Plus she's cute.
Alice Smith - Dream
9. The Raconteurs
Jack White from The White Stripes' side project. Really, I'm not sure how popular The Raconteurs actually are. But since they've been around for a while and no one has recommended them to me yet, I'm going to assume that they haven't reached like super MTV status yet. Let me know if I'm wrong.
The Raconteurs - Many Shades of Black
10. Friendly Fires
Kinda like a more rock version of Chromeo. There music makes me happy/dance.
Friendly Fires - Skeleton Boy
Bonus*
11. Charles Hamilton
Charles Hamilton only gets a bonus spot because I know a lot of people listen to him now. But he's still not as popular as I want him to be. So listen to his music!
Charles Hamilton - Psycho Bitch
You've got lots of downloading to do.
