Every week, URB.com picks 20 artists to add to our “Next 1000″ list. And being that we are the most credible and authentic voice in emergent music, we decided that its not enough to just post these artists’ music on our Next 1000 site. We needed to do more to showcase the great music and talent that invades our digital consciousness every week. So, from this day forward, URB.com will feature on the homepage every Friday, the “Next 1000″ Artist of the Week. So if you’re tired of the retreads invading your webspace everyday, and are thirsty for something more creative, something more underground, then come back to URB.com every Friday and get hit with something FRESH.
This week’s inaugural pick is Young De. Comin straight out of Philly, this talented MC is endorsed by such West Coast heavyweights as Kurupt and B Real. His debut mixtape, produced by DJ Skee & B Real, hosted by Kurupt, Audio Hustlaz Vol. 1, available for download here, is a banger! Young De makes up for what he lacks in stature, with pure fierceness on the mic.
Watch the freestyle above that he spit for us while on the set of B Real’s new video for “Don’t You Dare Laugh,” on which the young Philly fanatic is featured, and also, be sure to check out De’s Next 1000 page, and to cast a vote if you’re feeling this heat.
Until “Next” week, keep it URB.
