The top CAROLINA rappers NEXT to become as successful as J. COLE

Southeast Hip Hop Magazine is proud to present a list of the next big hip hop recording acts to come straight out of The Carolinas.  The state of North Carolina has been a hot breeding ground for countless stand out and legendary artists such as Little Brother, Petey Pablo, producer 9th Wonder, Supastition, and most recently J. Cole just to name a few.... but in 2017 there is a new set of rising lyricists that are destined to grow as successful and influential in hip hop as J. Cole and Southeast Hip Hop has listed the most valuable players below.

GHOST DOG
Ghost Dog has been making lots of noise in the underground hip hop circuit especially in the Carolinas for years now, but after the release of his recent LP DREAMS OF A WANDERING SAMURAI which has been critically acclaimed by podcasters and bloggers all across the web the awareness and fanbase for this high skilled emcee has soared to new heights.  Ghost Dog has been a guest on the hit blogtalk radio shows Blacktopia Presents Round Table Talk Radio, as well as The Rush Radio and has many more guest appearances on high ranking talk and radio shows coming up very soon! 
Purchase Dreams of a Wandering Samurai by Ghost Dog any and everywhere music is being sold digitally.    

D-HUD
Poet / rapper D-Hud has been putting in major work!
Releasing tons of high quality singles and music over the past few months and after hooking up with "Some Guy Named Jay" his buzz has been growing non stop!  Get more updates on his music, upcoming shows and more at http://www.D-Hud.blogspot.com

ROYAL ENTRY
Royal Entry is a serious force in the East Carolina music scene!  He's been receiving a lot of major attention after the release of his music video and single "Time Slippin'" which was also featured on 50 Cent's This Is 50, Waka Flocka's Supastars Online Magazine, the prestigious Blacktopia website and more!  His latest mixtape #Gorilla2017 shows the rapper's true skills as he bodies each track with force and confidence with every single line he spits.  Listen to the mixtape at  https://spinrilla.com/mixtapes/royal-entry-gorilla2017

LAZURUS 
Lazurus is the truth because he stays "true".  True to the art of hip hop, true to himself, true to his fan base, true to his music and lyrics, and it's a true thing that Lazurus is destined to achieve more greatness especially if he continues dropping truth bombs over true school boom bap golden era beats!

MALK NAZ
Malk Naz kept it on during the winter with his blazing hot single "Tarzan" and kept it cool in the Spring with "Killer Ice".  Get more updates on his music at his official promo blog at http://www.MalkNaz.blogspot.com

FLYY DREXLER
Flyy Drexler may have "Came From Nothing" (like his hit radio single) but he certainly is something!  His single "Came From Nothing" has gotten spins on terrestrial / commercial radio stations, college stations and XM Satellite radio all across the nation and in 2017 you know he has more great things coming up very soon! 

A-Kween / Ratchet
A-Kween (AKA "Ratchet") has been making lots of changes, not only from her name change from Ratchet to A-Kween, but the style of her music showing more of her versatility as a vocalist, and it's even rumored that the rising songwriter / lyricist will be moving to Atlanta soon, however no matter where she ends up rather it be remaining in North Carolina or changing her base of operations to Georgia, it's safe to say that you can put this gorgeous, business savvy, intellectual woman anywhere on God's green earth, she will triple her worth!  Also no matter how this WPEG Power 98's "Next Big Thing" recipient will evolve throughout her career it's also very clear that she will remain "A-Kween" and will stay royalty in the Carolinas no matter what.

FA'NESS
Fa'Ness is a singer / rapper that made a huge name for himself last year with the side dude anthem "I Already Know" and Fa'Ness continues to show "finesse" as his popularity grows.

YUNG ABUNDANCE of the 9TEN MOBB
Yung Abundance has been driving the ladies wild since dropping his Panty Dropping Anthem of 2017 titled "So Wett" featuring Big Mike of Day 26, and it certainly has been leaving the ladies soaked.  With a slew of singles to keep the listeners satisfied for many years to come, he will certainly receive more and more fame, recognition, power and of course money in abundance!  

K.W. THE ARTISAN
K.W. The Artisan has pure talent running in his blood, especially since his mother is the prestigious physiologist / life coach and renowned poet and author Adrienne Charleston and new co-host on the well received Blacktopia Presents Round Table Talk Radio.  K.W. the Artisan is not only a very skilled emcee but he's also an equally talented graphic designer and illustrator.  Who says that you can only be a jack of all trades and a master at none when K.W. the Artisan masters every trade he's involved in!   

There you have it!  A list of very talented NORTH CAROLINA stationed emcees / rappers / songwriters that Southeast Hip Hop Magazine would bet $1,000,000 and our lives that every single artist on this list will be as successful, powerful and influential as J. COLE in the music industry one day!!

Keep checking back with Southeast Hip Hop Magazine to read up on their progression.  

DO YOU DISAGREE WITH THIS LIST?  Is there an artist we should have listed?  Would you like to advertise your music on a network of HIGH TRAFFICKING websites / blogs such as this one??  E-mail us at TheGiantBlast@gmail.com and tell us about it.

Interview with Ratchet (Straight out The West Side of Charlotte, NC)

South East Hip Hop Magazine sits and talks with rising female emcee, one of the bests out of the West Side of Charlotte, NC AKA The Queen City, miss Ratchet!  

In this in-depth one on one interview, she talks about her music, her inspiration, her songs, her latest single for the children "Back 2 School" and more!  Sit back and get a glimpse into the amazing mind of this gifted songwriter and lyricist.   

South East Hip Hop Magazine:  What's up Ratchet?

Ratchet:  Working hard pushing this dream that's all.

South East Hip Hop Magazine:  Why do you call yourself Ratchet?

Ratchet:  The name Ratchet was given to me by friends in middle school way before Bad Azz made it popular because I was always acting up clowning in class ready to fight.  Being a misunderstood teen and of course I lived in the hood.  S**t really the whole Westside was Ratchet my black ass just earned the name directly (laughs)......(shakes head no)!! I've changed man (laughs)!!!

South East Hip Hop Magazine:  How would you describe yourself as an artist?

Ratchet:  As an artist I would say my style is similar to those of Twista with my speed, T.I. with my swag on the track and have recently been compared to an early Foxy Brown with you kick ass rhymes.  Music is my passion and I try to display my hunger and versatility in every single I deliver.

South East Hip Hop Magazine:  What motivates you and inspires you to rap?

Ratchet:  I'm motivated by my family,  my children especially. My 6 year who is featured on the "Back 2 School" track is my biggest fan and dreams about bright lights and fancy cars just like I do!!  All of my loyal fans and friends also help keep the Queen pushing forward no matter what comes along. 

South East Hip Hop Magazine:  How long have you been rapping?

Ratchet:  I've been writing raps since about 13 years old.  I started out as a singer in church talent shows etc.  the rapping wasn't a big thing until I hit 18 then it developed into something I wanted to build on and realized I actually had a gift with the pen!  I use to make songs off everything (laughs), and still might get caught being silly making some kind of song out the blue!

South East Hip Hop Magazine:  Who are some of the artists that inspired you to want to rap?

Ratchet:  I've always loved the gutta rap, artists like LaChat, Mia X...I can take you back to MC Lyte.  I've listened to a lot of different female mcs coming up it kept me creative.

South East Hip Hop Magazine:  Who are some of the artists that you listen to right now?

Ratchet:  Rap done got crazy.  I don't really have anyone I listen to that's current shit I'm still bumping old cuts like T.I. Im Serious, Soulja Slim those original turn up classics.  I love the OLD RAP GAME!!

South East Hip Hop Magazine:  How do you feel about female hip hop artists in the game right now?

Ratchet:  There are none!!!! So I'm anxious to let the world hear my gift. All of my female MC idols are chillin now waiting on me!!! (laughs)

South East Hip Hop Magazine:  Who are some of the people you've worked with?

Ratchet:  I've done tracks with seasoned mcs like "Show" from the old Nuworld before the hating started.  I've worked with G Shep a heavy-hitting producer out of Charlotte.  I've done work with Tiny T just to name a female I've worked with not many are ready for the ring and still ain't!!!! (laughs).

South East Hip Hop Magazine:  Who would you like to work with in the future?

Ratchet: I think me and S. Dub would murda some s**t, I listen to Jayway a lil bit.  Me and him would definitely tear shit up!!!  I don't know man its very few can get in my head......artists ain't lyrical no more.

South East Hip Hop Magazine:  Speaking of the future, what plans do you have for the rest of 2015?

Ratchet:  For the rest of 2015 I'm working on the Takeover!!! In all honesty n***as doing music s**t but they for self watch how I flip this s**t on em!!!!!!  2016 is approaching fast, I've had my fans and supporters waiting long enough this next project is going shift a few Lacefronts!!!

South East Hip Hop Magazine:  Is there anything else you would like to plug?  Any shout outs?

Ratchet:  Shout to Wade the Producer look him up he's dope to work with!  Also shout to my homie G-Shep he know Ratchet style like the back of his hand and I get the chance I'm a thank that man...... Shout to Hottbreed my sisters my lil sis Remedy killing with the R&B!!! Shout to the whole Westside I do this for the yall man on errthang'!!!! #704 CHARLOTTE WE ON THE RISE.

Interview with Ron Beatty (A Southern Rap Star)

South East Hip Hop Magazine recently sat down and had a one on one discussion with rising North Carolina based recording artist Ron Beatty about his music, past, present and future and other things!  Read all about it here....  

South East Hip Hop Magazine:  How are you Ron Beatty?

Ron Beatty:  Everything is cool man.  I can't complain.  Just been busy working "Heard About Me" and plotting on the next moves.  All is well. 

 South East Hip Hop Magazine:  How long have you been rapping?
Ron Beatty:   I've been rapping for quite some time. Since 9 years old.  Wrote my first rap called "Ya'll N****s Should Know".  The hook was inspired by Nate Dogg and my verses were real gangsta, even though I wasn't at the time (he laughs out loud).

South East Hip Hop Magazine:  What inspired you to want to rap?  

 Ron Beatty: The era.  I was a young boy in the era that rap was really poppin'.  Like early 90s thru the 00s, I was young and just attentive man.  I paid attention and gravitated to the sound of hip-hop.  Plus, Rap City and Video Soul gave me the visual to really see it.  Middle school cyphers at the lunch table and in the hallways gave me my competitive nature to want to be the absolute best.  It wasn't until I met Nolo (Noland Hicks), a teacher at New Bern High School, that I really started taking music seriously, as far as thinking about making it.  He always believed in me and went above and beyond to get me and my old crew, FRONTLINE, out there.  

South East Hip Hop Magazine:  How would you describe yourself as an artist?

 Ron Beatty: A southern rap star with a distinct story line and message; giving you a clear vision of what it's like to think and maneuver your way through life from a Eastern North Carolina perspective.  We've never had a voice. The closest is Petey, and he came out reppin' Raleigh, or so it seemed, and that's not really down east.  I drew inspiration from a lot of cats.  From local to major ones.  But I'm still unafraid to be myself, be different, be unique, and disregard the sound of the game and just do me.  It has elements of the game currently, but it's in our form.  

South East Hip Hop Magazine:  How would you describe your latest single "Heard About Me" for those that haven't heard it yet?

 Ron Beatty: Through out my career, I've always made big sounding records. Records with a large hook, a dope beat and verses pertaining to that hook.  And people always asked me, "Who are you?" Honestly, the shit used to piss me off.  Not because they're wrong or anything.  But just all of my lyrics are real.  Like I really talk about things I actually live and do. So every song I make IS me, and giving you a piece of my story.  But I understood what they were really asking me.  They wanted me to detail my journey.  Explain where I'm from and all that jazz.  The beat that Kilo made directed me to what they wanted.  In "Heard About Me", I told them everything from the beginning until now. I took it back to Nolo's crib, being passed up on in a possible deal shopping situation in LA, down to the hair grease I used to use, all that.  And the feedback has been great so far.  People love a story man.  

 South East Hip Hop Magazine:  Who did you work with for the single and video?
Ron Beatty:  Kilo Davinci on the beat.  That's my little brother and he's come a long way.  He's going to be a rich man very soon, at a young age too.  All he does is make beats non-stop.  Everyday, all day.  Black Jeruz former G-Unit/Aftermath producer from back home in Carolina, mixed the records and added that seasoning to it. He's a cool dude and mad easy to work with.  Crazy thing is, we communicated through email the whole time and I never do that.  I'm more hands on, but due to our situation, email was best at the time.  And my homie Travis Cherry, an R&B Grammy-nominated producer from Raleigh NC mastered the joint.  He's the last one the records go to.  After him, it's a wrap.  Nerv picked the location for the video shoot and said "Yo, we should shoot that shit on the mountain trip in Gatlinburg."  So I was like cool.  Kelly luckily brought his camera too and shot some dopeness with us.  We used a ton of his shots.  Both of those dudes helped it all come together.  

South East Hip Hop Magazine:  What other projects are you working on?

 Ron Beatty: Just working on more videos.  I'm going to single the hell out the game until the demand is where I want it to be.  It's definitely growing by the day.  By the minute.  More people are sharing the video, more people are engaging with the content, more people are asking questions; I can feel the base growing.  Once it reaches that point to where I feel everybody on the planet is asking about my shit, (he laughs), then I'll drop the album.  I might do something special before then, who knows.  But "Manifest Destiny" is in the works.  Might be an EP, album, or I might do both.  Haven't decided yet.  

 South East Hip Hop Magazine:  Who are some of the artists and producers you've worked with or are currently working with?
Ron Beatty: I've worked with J. Cole on a few records, but I'm probably never dropping those. At least not in the near future. Everybody be like, "Yoooo, you got a Cole joint man!!! You crazy!!!! Put that shit out!!!!" But I really don't give a fuck.  It's been mad people who dropped joints off Cole beats, even with him featured and nothing happened. Plus using one of those beats comes with so much red tape I'd rather not.  So I'm not pressed about those. I work with my crew heavy.  Kilo Davinci, Streetzmentor, and Nerv.  That's my base for beats. Me and my homie Neman (Young Marcus) got a crazy record coming called "Windows Down". All those guys know my sound.  Black Jeruz threw me some beats. Trav (Travis Cherry) threw me some bangers.  Soul Keyz out of Trey Songz camp threw me some bangers.  It's been mad love from all over the place I can't keep up. But artists wise, I rock with many from back home but haven't really had a chance to lately.  Chriz Millz was the last artist I've worked on records with, from scratch.  Dope artist out of Fuquay.  I'm on my "me" shit  at the time.  Not that I don't want to work with them, because I do, but it's not the time right now.  I got so many records with other people it's ridiculous.  That'll happen more over time.  I want my features to count and not just be songs that sit on my USB for 10 years.  

South East Hip Hop Magazine:   Who would you like to work with in the future?

 Ron Beatty: Kanye and Good Music.  Che Pope and all those guys. That's who I'm shifting my mind towards.  They're going to see it.  I know they will.  

South East Hip Hop Magazine:  Speaking of the future, where do you see yourself in the next 5 years?

 Ron Beatty: In a studio out in LA, with my crew around, working on the project.  Something new. Still smoking, still drinkin' Paul, still the same ballin' shorts, still the same people around, still making music for home.  Just a little more money and fame.  Nothing too much is going to change on the work side.  We're workaholics bro. That's all we do.  

South East Hip Hop Magazine:  In the more immediate future, what do you have going on for the rest of 2015?

 Ron Beatty: Material.  Dope material.  If you're the type to like visuals, videos and all that, then you're going to love what Life's Grand is bringing to the table.  That's my brand by the way if you didn't know. But yea, we've got things mapped out thru the end of the year. And definitely shows. A lot of shows. They'll be in the southeast part of the country initially, like GA, SC, FLA, NC and such.  They'll end up all over soon.  Check ronbeattync.com soon for dates.  

Is there anything else you would like to plug?  Any shout outs?

 Ron Beatty: God for making everything so hard so I can appreciate the blessings to come.  I don't know why, but he's made my journey super hard for some reason (he laughs).  And shout out everybody that hasn't heard about me, but you will soon.  I promise.
