MEET @KIIDARTIST, A DYNAMIC NEW DISCOVERY I MET ON TWITTER THIS MORNING.

I met this kid this morning online on twitter. He goes by @KiidArtist on twitter and as artist name. You already know that anyone I interview or interact with in the early stages of their music career GOT BIG! Drake, Justin Bieber, Church Chizzle, JStaffz, Weird MC, DBanj, TuFace, Dirty Radio, Knaan, Nicki Minaj and more.

The magic touch is on again as KIIDARTIST reached out to me in Nigeria at 6am his time in America, 11am here. Stephan Reed is from Redlands in the USA. I lived in the US 30 years and Canada 5, plus I have now returned home 8 mos and discovering so much global talent.

"Chasing dreams" is the name of this track. No complications, clear lyrics, and all I hear is viral radio play and a 106 and Park appearance. He is riding on the road to fame alright, 17, young and so fresh and positive. 

KiidArtist is the kind of young rapper that puts music to where it belongs to again. Not a lot are positive out there. KUDOS from #MsKemi. Listen below. Hope to do a Skype or phoner with him soon.

CHICAGO RAPPER/SINGER YOUNG PLATINUM TWEETS HIS NUMBER FOR GIRLS TO TEXT HIM.

Need I even say FANS? I went straight to GIRLS on the headline. Lets face it, from the days Flo Rida was giving out his phone number to fans and Manny Fresh and Baby called theirs out in a song and even Canada's Líl Jaxe posting his on Facebook, male artists are sorta getting a lil bit closer to their fans predominantly FEMALES. So I decided to just unleash that tweet Chicago's Young Platinum put out...as u know stars usually DELETE tweets.

I told YP that he is the one that's gonna suffer text backlash as soon as these AFRICAN gurls get a hold of his number after looking at that body. Young Platinum is an upcoming music artist from Chi town area and they are 7 hours behind us in Nigeria. It's almost 10pm here and 3pm in the afternoon over there. watch what happens. I'm gonna be 49 this year and I just love when the kids have fun with their hearthrob singers. YP has been penned the next Breezy (Chris Brown)--MsKemi +HipHossip Canada  @HipHossip on Twitter

Canadian Welcome Goes To Alex Pelzer: A Dynamic Artist Ready to Roll.

I ran into this dude on the internet randomly today. If I have to remind some of you to keep posting your music online like Bieber did, you may have become famous by now. This guy is famous rite now just being on HipHossip. He even detected me tweeting about him lol.

His cover song of Drake's song "Crew Love ft The Weekend" is awesome! His Drake voice is outstanding. OMG! Alex Pelzer is one talented young man. I love this photo of him below and plan to do a #MsKemiPhoners with him after the holidays.

I certainly love his manipulation of the guitar. You really want to "hear" this video first without watching, then watch. My score on this is a PERFECT 10. Alex Pelzer has what it takes to conquer the ever changing music business. This is a man with unlimited bookings coming our way globally. There are tons of videos on his TUMBLR. Remember how I found Ciara, Knaan, Classified, Nicki Minaj, Drake, Bieber and Young Jeezy when they had no albums? Here's another find. Y'all call me in 6 months--MsKemi @HipHossip on Twitter

CANADA, MEET ASPIRING RAPPER JAYBEE (JOEY BEAST) PERFORMING "BANDIT."

Photo: Joey Beast via Twitter

Here's what caught my attention. He approached me on Twitter and his Twitter bio read.

 "Starving musician.. Literally I be hungry af.. Im 20 years old I make music and I like sex."

He said in a tweet that he is not from California, just lives there. I hear Drake's voice under former BET Video Soul's/WPGC Donnie Simpson's face. Yes he has a serious resemblance to Donnie! Something about this kid sounds very good. For one, he can market himself well. Simple easygoing US artists, no noise. Keep forging ahead young man and keep your eyes on the prize. I said this to Young Jeezy, Ciara, Diamond, Nicki Minaj and L'il Scrappy in 2004. It's now 2012 and the rest is history. Remember leave the haters behind and ignore any negativity. 

His 6 mixtapes are AWESOME! Listen to them here. --MsKemi @HipHossip

NEW CANADIAN MUSIC: Erik Flowchild - Monogamy [Official Video]

First of all, this homie has it all together for MsKemi's eyez! Abs from another dimension, he's paid his dues at the gym and a tattoo showing his heartbeat plus he's already from the chocolate tribe. (Light skin homies NOT allowed on Mondays on HipHossip!) Can anyone else get more creative here? Flowchild has!

Eric Flowchild does this slow hip-hop track mixed with an R&B ballad which I just love. The "Tell me that the pussy is mine" was well sampled into the lady's mouth. Simple, easy going video with smooth flowing lyrics. The lady in the video is so hot, she should be one of our HipHossip HOTTIES of the day! Lemme tell you, those fishes in the aquarium tank had quite a show and so did I.
Bring back some good music videos LIKE THIS pls!!--MsKemi @HipHossip

TWITA: THE REAL GOTTI ENTERS THE MUSIC BUSINESS.

TWITA-(That's what I'm Talking about!) The grandson of mobster "Dapper Don" John Gotti is launching a music career and says his album will include a tribute to the late Gambino crime family head.

Carmine Agnello has dropped his given name and is recording a hip-pop album as Carmine Gotti.

The 24-year-old says he's no longer the kid seen on the A&E reality show "Growing Up Gotti," starring his mom, Victoria Gotti. He calls himself "matured" and "clean-cut."

He says his memory of his grandfather is of someone who was always there for him and his family. John Gotti died in 2002 while serving a life sentence for murder and racketeering.

Carmine Gotti's debut album is due out this summer. He also has cameo appearances in new videos for rappers Khia and Fat Joe. (New York Daily News), so Irv Gotti and all the fake Gottis out there, this is the REAL deal!

EXCLUSIVE CANADIAN FIRST: MEET AMERICA'S NEW POP/SOUL ARTIST JSTAVO.

EXCLUSIVE CANADIAN FIRST!!

JStavo is a dynamic Virginian crooner based out of Atlanta who has landed into the music business BIG time. Growing up in a great household, encouraging younger kids to follow their dreams as he spoke to KJ about was very interesting. He is an independent artist who is already making waves performing at radio station benefit concerts like top rated WPGC-FM in Washington DC opening for big artists like Amerie, Omarion, Brian Mcknight, and Doug E Fresh.

Below we discovered him on YouTube singing Beyonce's "Halo." It really is funny as he was cleaning the bathroom while the rest of us just sing in the shower.



JStavo struck us with talent. An easy going guy who wants to meet his Canadian fans, has two hit songs "Taken" feat Bambu and "Superman"which struck us to think about that pop/soul genre he says he belongs to. These hits are HOT.

He has his own blog that he solely writes about his daily activities. wants to be a music enterpreneur later endorsing and designing clothing. KJ even asked him when he goes on SNL, would he shout HipHossip out? We had that happen to us when Shawty Lo shouted us out on the BET Hip-Hop Awards in 2008.

Like I said in the promo, he's smooth, he's dynamic and he is the next big thing in 2010. JStavo will be seen one day on SNL, singing the anthem at the next Superbowl and even White House events. Now click here to listen to JSTAVO's dynamic phoner at our MySpace portal. More portals are coming. After that, then listen to the hit songs.
