Up and Coming Hip-Hop Artists

This lists consists of artists that made XXL's Freshman 2011 list. The artists that I've chosen are all impacting youtube's airwaves and they're incredibly talented and unique in their own way. 2011 is a big year for Hip-Hop: Shady signed Yelawolf (who I despise as a rapper) and Slaughterhouse to his label, while Rostrum Records is blowing up with Wiz Khalifa and Mac Miller signed to their arsenal. Check out who I think will flourish in 2011 and so on.
