The ceiling is very, very high for this young man. He has received lots of positive press from big name outlets as well as the likes of Tyler, the Creator and JPEGMAFIA. Redveil already has a dedicated fanbase, despite being relatively new in the rap game. What’s almost most impressive about the Maryland native is that his brand grew in spite of renowned music critic Anthony Fantano’s harsh critiques of his latest album (pretty much everyone was in disagreement with him). He shows good chemistry with all of his features, a difficult task in today’s day and age. Redveil’s voice fits the colorful instrumentals extremely well, and his music will put you in a good mood regardless of the subject. Made entirely in his bedroom, Niagara feels like something a long-time rapper created with its impressive sampling (the production is heavenly) and strong lyricism. This 16-year-old may be the youngest on this list, but that doesn’t take away from the amount of quality and substance this MC has in his music. If you like: Earl Sweatshirt, Tyler, the Creator, Isaiah Rashad EST Gee’s top-notch production, immersive tales of the street, and rugged delivery could make him the next face of trap music. He raps like he has a chip on his shoulder, not unlike 50 Cent in ‘03. Both feature hard-hitting trap anthems and EST Gee’s raw energy is explosive. EST Gee put out two projects in 2020, Ion Feel Nun and I Still Don’t Feel Nun. He had surgery and came back with a vengeance. In September 2019, just one month after the release of his debut project, he was shot 5 times and nearly died. Lil Baby just this week claimed EST Gee is “The New Young Jeezy.” This praise isn’t just all talk, either. He was just signed to Yo Gotti’s CMG label a month ago, has features from Jack Harlow, Moneybagg Yo, and 42 Dugg, and was mostly recently featured on Lil Baby’s track “Real As It Gets.” Although he’s not a household name just yet, he’ll get there this year. The first trap artist on this list, EST Gee seems to be making all the right moves lately. Unusual Demont is a unique new act whose musical quality is just as good as its thematic marketing and aesthetic. He even dyed his hair to fit the themes (red and green, respectively). His voice is great, and his aesthetics perfectly fit the songs.
His sound is a fusion of alternative, pop, and hip hop and he combines vulnerable lyrics with an inescapable catchy flow. His first single “Amber” has over 4 million plays and his second single “Pine” is getting there, currently sitting at 700k streams. The word I would use to describe Unusual Demont is “thoughtful.” You can tell he puts a lot of time and care into his craft, and it shows. His work ethic is not at all lacking – he is constantly grinding behind the scenes, carefully piecing together his next hit. While most artists will drop singles to promote an upcoming album, Demont only has 2 songs total on streaming services. Unusual Demont, a 21-year-old artist from Wisconsin, is an extremely unique figure in music.
