LE1F

LE1F

Le1f has one foot in the glossy Bling Era rap hits that he came to age on and one foot in the downtown electronic scene where he developed as an artist, and his first mixtape Dark York is true to both sides of his heritage. The beats refuse to settle into easy categories like "rap" or "dance," and Le1f's muscular, hyperarticulate flow handily disposes of any misconceptions that he's anything less than than a legitimate rapper.

Since its release, "Wut"-has made Le1f a media darling. The Fader, Spin, Pitchfork, Gawker, and a horde of tastemaking blogs have held him up as an example of the direction hip-hop's evolving towards. Even more recently the video for "Wut," which prominently showcases Le1f's prodigious twerking skills, went viral, which indicates that there might be a much bigger audience for his entire artistic package than even his most ardent fans might have suspected. For those of you who were lucky enough to get a taste of this deep-voiced, fast-tongued twerk-kwondo expert earlier this year: you aint seen nothing yet!

BROOKE CANDY

By now you've probably seen Brooke Candy, the post-apocalyptic Lil' Kim who spread throughout international fashion magazines and rose from the ocean, pink braids intact, in Grimes' "Genesis" music video. With the release of her anthem-like first single "Das Me," the 23-year-old Los Angeles native is putting a voice to the warrior-princess-stripper aesthetic that has made her an internet icon. Her debut music video is a glimpse into her life, rife with a candy-pink tricked out Cadillac limousine. Brooke flips misogynistic stereotypes over a staggering beat, inviting dudes to "wiggle their dicks" and reassures the ladies that "next time they call you a slut" Brooke Candy says "don't give a fuck."

Her latest track is, "I Wanna Fuck Right Now", and for the video, she shows off her tight stripper moves.. Werk that pole, honey!

HOUSE OF LADOSHA

House of Ladosha is a forward-thinking force to be reckoned with. An artistic collective that makes everything from t-shirts to club bangers to their own fierce vernacular, the New York-based, gender-bending glamazons have been gaining steady acclaim from the indie crowd and hip-hop heads alike for tracks like the recently released "Rollin," which inventively references Naomi Campbell and Paris Is Burning in one fell swoop, and the now almost-legendary YouTube clip "BMF (Black Model Famous)," which finds House lyricist Dosha Devastation giving Rick Ross' original track a run for its money. After recently having performed a killer opening set for Azealia Banks in NY, Dosha Devastation and Cunty Crawford head to the land downunder making sure the whole house eats. H.A.M.!
