Project Alfie

Project Alfie is a English soul singer/ songwriter who is wildly reminiscent of a 1960's lounge singer (think Frank Sinatra or Sammy Davis, Jr.), but with a modern flare to it.  He is heavily inspired by both the 60's and Hip Hop cultures and it shows in every facet of his brand.  Taking from the Hip-Hop influence, he has created and released a self-titled mixtape in which he sampled various rappers including Nas, Kanye West and Jay-Z.  His superb talent and hard work afforded him the rare opportunity to be featured on Universal Records' Compilation R&B Collection 2012.  He is the first ever unsigned artist to be featured on the compilation.  He recently returned home from New York City, where he worked with the Hitmen production team on his debut release album.  He is also working on several tracks with Hip Hop artist Sway.  This is not the last time you are going to be hearing from Project Alfie.  I foresee 2012 is going to be his year.   You can download the Project Alfie Mixtape here.  Also, check out the official video for the track "Beggin", which samples Jay-Z's Dead Presidents, below.

S. Dot

There aren't many artists who from South Carolina that are still relevant.  I can immediately think of two, Blind Fury and Angie Stone.  What South Carolina needs is an artist that can put the state on the map and keep it relevant.  Richard "S. Dot" Steward could just be the one to do that.  He has raw talent and can keep southern Hip Hop in the forefront.  His mixtape 'Can't Sell Dope Forever', has a positive vibe, starting from the title, and it trickles down through every track.  You aren't going to hear what has become the norm for rap from S. Dot.  There is true depth in his rhymes  and by listening to each song, you can feel his joys, his pains, his struggles and his determination.

The production on each track is pretty dope too.  Each track reminds you of a different artist from a different region in the country.  There's a West Coast infused track, a Southern, Louisiana early Cash Money or No Limit track (he is originally from Louisiana, so there's homage being paid) as well as an East Coast track.  This guy is versatile and has nowhere to go but up.  Check out his video for 'How U Luv Dat' below.

Mark my words, this guy is going to be a star!  He has the look, the talent, he's the total package.  An 18 year-old from Atlanta, he is just starting out in the business, but from the videos posted on his Youtube channel, he won't be unknown for long.  He is being highly praised for his rendition of 'Player's Prayer' by Lloyd, and with good reason.  His voice is easily comparable with Lloyd.  He has done several other covers as well.  He has a cover of Frank Ocean's 'Thinkin' Bout You', as well as 'How To Love' by Lil Wayne, which, in my opinion, was MUCH better than Lil Wayne's singing. I'm just saying.  Check out his Youtube channel here.  Please take a second to listen to the 'Player's Prayer' cover below, and don't forget this name.  You'll regret it later if you do!
