Music Update


I usually am not a fan or new age rap music, but new artits 2Chainz and Big Sean are growing on me.

These two emerging artists have spawned from Kanye West's ability to find rising young artists and take them under his wing. Under his label they have produced chart topping hits known for playing in cars and clubs alike. This rejuvenation of rap to be music that excites and is to be enjoyed in a party setting is one of Kanye's most influential influences in reaching a new frontier for the genre.

Big Sean and 2Chianz are both classified as "pump up or party rap." They have released tracks that have now become the songs that one qwould listen to on the way to a party, club or night-out. This change in listening environemnt of rap is infringing on the established environemtn for House and Lectronic music. Where EDM (electronic music) is commonly listened to in clubs, artitsts like Kanye and Big Sean have begun to tap into the market.
I hope this continues to happen because the songs are enjoyable and a variety in music played is always the best type of music environment.
