Her sound is not just music; it’s an immersive experience of North American culture, combining epic beats perfect for a workout and a leftfield approach that defies the norms.

“What Cheryl Craigie is doing in the hip-hop arena is nothing short of revolutionary. Her quirky, electronic-infused tracks are paving the way for new expressions within the genre,” says a PopHits.Co music curator.

2) SUPER SAIYAN JAY – Can I


Straight from the vibrant trenches of the United States West Palm Beach, independent artist SUPER SAIYAN JAY has dutifully earned his place in the Hip-hop universe. His recently released single, “Can I,” is an exceptional blend of lo-fi hip-hop beats and languid rap flows. It encapsulates everything relaxing in music: easy-listening melodies shaped by North American culture.

Drawing influences from renowned artists such as J. Cole and Kendrick Lamar, he subtly lays down verses that echo elements of US Rap, enriched by his distinctly gripping male vocals. Yet beyond imitation, SUPER SAIYAN JAY has put his spin on these contributions, gracefully inventing his unique sound. The finessed beats of “Can I” induce an aurally satisfying experience that screams US culture.

As a music curator at PopHits.Co, I declare no other artist exudes such quality. I firmly stand by my statement, “SUPER SAIYAN JAY is the future of modern hip-hop.” So why resist?

3) OZZIENT – Ozzient Ft. LandoIsLiving, KiERAN, Zenodro & Øverdrive – The One

Emerging from the vibrant streets of Chicago, Ozzient has crafted a sound that merges the emotive intensity of emo rap with the dynamic rhythms of US rap. “Ozzient Ft. LandoIsLiving, KiERAN, Zenodro & Øverdrive – The one,” his latest offering, boasts male vocals that capture the listener with a gripping sincerity reminiscent of icons like Juice WRLD and Post Malone. With its gripping autotune-enhanced choruses, the single carries a distinctive vibe that is both raw and polished, perfect for a workout pump-up or an emo-pop rock jam session.

“Ozzient’s single resonates with the pulse of US culture, packed with the kind of fiery hip-hop spirit that hooks you from the first beat,” compliments a curator at PopHits.Co. The track embodies a sonic journey through the city’s alleys and its heartbeat, laden with the cultural echoes that define its roots.

4) BERMUDACAL – Promise Me You’ll Be Alright


With a firm foothold in Bermuda’s music scene, Hamilton-based BERMUDACAL is now breaking through on the international stage with his single “Promise Me You’ll Be Alright”. This hip-hop maverick infuses his tracks with a fusion of US Rap and Bermudian beats. His male vocals lead each measure with purpose, like wiring in a tightly constructed bridge, connecting listeners with the intense emotionality of his lyrics.

In a scene dominated by artists like Notorious B.I.G and Jay-Z, this promising artist holds his own ground, standing out with his unique blend of energy and lyrical prowess. A PopHits.Co‘s music curator lauds, “With BERMUDACAL, every beat and bar are a testament to the extraordinary potential of contemporary independent artists. His music is a refreshing example of passion and innovation in the hip-hop genre.”

His single “AYANNA” unfolds like a sonic tapestry, infused with the cultural richness of UK rap and the pulsating energy of afrobeat. Think Sampha meets Kendrick Lamar – but with a twist that’s all his own.

In the realm of HIP-HOP and RAP, it’s refreshing to encounter SIXSENSE’s ability to blend genres with such finesse. His track is more than music; it’s a mood, a vibe, a relaxing journey narrated by his compelling male vocals. “SIXSENSE manages to defy genres, encapsulating the emotion of emo rap with the heart of R&B,” declares PopHits.Co‘s music curator.
