Ashanti, Keri Hilson, Sean Garrett & More Need To Hang It Up in 2009!

By Gyant on December 22, 2008 12:28 PM | 24 Comments

I apologize for the NUMEROUS spelling and grammar errors that were in the original post. While we all know I'll be the first person to step up and admit that I'm no writer, today's errors was an oversight.

You have my apologies.

As we come to the close of yet another year, I couldn't help but notice that this year hasn't been the best for what's left of the struggling music industry. SOHH many artists have had their ego's handed to them by the consumers over straight up musical bombs. And I figured since there's always a list out of musical new comers who's almost always deemed to be the "new best thing", that I would compile a list of new comers who've been trying to sell their boringly packaged music.

Like always some of you all may not agree, but I'm pretty confident most of you will know that I am right on point. Check below to find out who made the list.

I got a chance to catch up with the incredibly engaging producer/musician at the legendary Patch Werk studio's. Check out sit down below.
