1. Syko - Every song he makez is sick, his style and delivery are one of a kind.

2. Byrdie - He dose have more of a radio friendly feel to his music, but he is a great song writer, he could be tha one to blow Seattle up.

3. Sarkastik - He has in my opinion tha best delivery only next to Syko'z, his style is of tha rictor.

4. Gangsta Nutt - What can I say, he putz a lot of power and emotion into his music, "Save Me" is a NW classic in my eyez.

5. Baby-C - Not only is he a great rapper, but a great vocalist too. "Mob With Me" is tha cut.

6. Madd Dogg - He hasn't done much lately, but he still getz a spot on my list, tha man has extreme talent, to me he was tha standout member of FTS.

7. D-Sane - I think D-Sane is very under rated, tha man can spit fire, never comez weak. "D-sane, white dude, bad attitude, known for comin' tha fuck unglued." LOL.

8. Livio - He is very good for is age, he should be fairly major within' a few yearz time.

9. Greedy BD - I like him better when he flowz at a slower pacez, he would've got a higher ratin' if it didn't sound like he mumblez his lyricz in some songz, but he putz intensity into most of his songz.

10. J-Dub - He has improved greatly since both FTS albumz, and getz better with every album he apearz on. I like his style a lot.

Yes, I know... Almost all of tha artistz I picked are from Seattle, but they, in my honest opinion, are tighter then anyone else in tha Great Northwest.

in no particular order and maybe more than ten

Bleek- When is the album droppin Nutz
Cool Nutz- The most well established NW artist post Mix-A-Lot period
Mr DOG- Listen close cuz the lyrics are raw and the hustle is unbeatable.
BG Church- A lot of you western WA cats don't know yet but believe me, when the Certified album drops its over. Thats my word.
Mac Money- One of the few NW artists that incorporates street wisdom with spiritual wisdom and makes it work.
Shaolin- Thats me. I will leave it at that but i had to include myself.
Lifesavas- Evr since the first show I seen em at in the Tri I recognized some str8 raw , unadulterated Hip Hop.
Maniak Lok- My favorite Jus Family album b4 Verbal Porn. Street music, pure and vivid.
The whole FTS Camp- I haven't heard enough of the recent releases to sort out each artist, but Byrdie's record was sick. Sykos verses on that record were off the chain, and D-Sane always come wid it.
DJ Wicked- The dopest DJ in the NW in my opinion.
Bosko- People talk about the beats ( which are of course off the richter), but some sleep on the spits (which blend perfectly west coast slang with lyrical skill), the vocals, and might forget that he is the tightest on the talkbox since the late Roger Troutman.

Thats all I can muster off the top of the heezy.
