A Star is Born: V.I.C
It seems like there are new artists popping up everyday in hip-hop. But very few actually stay around and stay relevant. One hit doesnt equal a career. Hard work and direction are what seperates a one hit wonder from a legitimate star in the making.
Atlanta native V.I.C. has star in the making written all over him. Bursting onto the scene with his hit single, “Get Silly”, V.I.C has placed his name next to Soulja Boy and other young stars in the game. But V.I.C has known he was ready for stardom for a long time now. “I always knew I wanted to be a rapper. I came up listenting to Jay-Z and all them and I knew I wanted to do it”
When he got to high school he dedicated himself towards making his dream a reality. Working after school, he would save up his money and put it toward studio time. Before you knew it he had caught the ear of A-Town legend Mr. Collipark. The man behind the Yin-Yang Twins and Soulja Boy Tell’em, and one of the arhcitects of the Atlanta crunk sound saw the star quality in V.I.C. and signed him to Collipark Music. With Collipark behind him, V.I.C.’s single “Get Silly” became one of the biggest songs in the south.
Just when most people would’ve wrote him off as a one hit wonder, V.I.C. comes back with a new single and a new anthem “Bow” along with J-Futuristic, the single has become a new call and response anthem in the south.
Expect more from V.I.C. as his mixtape “V.I.C. in HD” drops. V.I.C drops both orginal music and industry remixes to showcases his ability to be an all-around artist.

Swazy Baby should be commended. While other up and coming artists are busy trying to bury their underground past, Swazy Baby continues to capitalize on his. And why not? It was using mixtapes as a way to build his buzz up intially, Swazy caught the eye of Bigga Rankin.
Clicking up with B-Rich and TJ Chapman, B.o.B was able to turn his underground success into a deal with Atlantic Records.After a slew of critically acclaimed mixtapes, cross-country tours and commercial placements B.o.B still has that spark in his eyes and energy in his voice that he did when I first saw him on stage.
The 90’s was great era for hip-hop but it was equally great for R&B. Many acts have come and go since then, but the foursome of Jagged Edge has seemed to have staying power. Since their dropping their debut single "The Way That You Talk" back in 1997, JE has been a regular site on the R&B scene. 
C-Ride is used to the spotlight, even if you’re not used to his name yet. The Florida representor has been a staple of the Epidemic Music/Polo Grounds team for years now. After making a name for himself on the underground, he’s ready to make his presence known in the mainstream.
"I aint never left the scene! I’m always grinding." Bold words like that are normally served for underground artists still trying to get their buzz up. You wouldn't expect an artists who has signed to major deals, posted hit records and has sold units to still speak about grinding it out. But Yo Gotti isn't the average artist
