how bout none of the above and put that budget into Kutt Calhoun's next project and get him as hyped up as Krizz Kaliko is. none of there new artist last anyways and none of the dudes mentioned on here i think has a legitimate chance at getting a fanbase to grow especially if Kutt (who is better) cant even do it.

Hopsin is getting ready to go on a 20+ show tour, including shows in Canada and might be doing stuff over in Australia. if thats not a fanbase, then i dont know what is. and he gained the majority of those fans in less than a year just by pushing his own shit, no one bigger to help

my 2 cents (for which probably only i care about) is that irv and stone should be the 2 that are most seriously looked at. I think irv brings more to the table, and more potential than stone does, but i like stevie a lot.

this is something that is very interesting. I would love to see either kaliko or kutt get some more shine. i really think kutt is crazy underrated and deserves MUCH more than he gets.

if it a signing then make it Phenom....but putting that money somewhere else could be really good as well.

Out of everyone listed in this thread Hopsin has the most credentials as far as a following goes.

However I don't see any reason for the Strange roster to add another artist right now.
Irv should get it just due to all his hard work, but none of these dudes are going to be the "new" face of Strange. That whole line of thought isn't even applicable to the people currently on the roster, let alone new guys with little to no heat in the industry.

Hopsin seems to be the furthest off since he's never done music with the guys, but he's garnished more heat than Scoob, Kutt, and Krizz have ever done cumulatively.

Talent and passion aside, if I ran a business, my employee's would have to mesh well with existing ones regardless of their abilities.

Then again, I don't own a multi million dollar business yet, so yeah...

Hopsin is more than an extremely talented emcee, he's also a good producer, and directs his own videos. Labels look for artists that have that can do a lot of the managing themselves, and smart artists look for labels that can give them good promotion. I honestly don't see Hop signing a deal with them though, when he has this kind of buzz and freedom on his own.

i've only heard of him on here so i assumed he wasnt that known so my bad. but i still hold true to my statement. i think they should build up the vet kutt more with a bigger budget then to use that into an artist that wont last. i dont care who they sign out of this bunch they either not gonna last or not gonna sell. one or the other.

whats "professional"? i dont think you need to spend $20k on a video, or $75k on mixing and mastering for it to be "professional" quality. his album sounds just as good, if not better, than anything else coming out

Hopsin can rap, there's no doubt about that, but damn if the dude doesn't cry on every track he's on. Dude needs some light in his life, but I still don't think that would change his attitude.
..... Sounds exactly like what people where saying about Tech for years.

I can't believe ya'll are discounting hopsin... Have you looked at how much of a following that he has gained in the last year? Dude would be a perfect fit on strange. His music fits and he has a long way to go in his career.

I want Irv the Phenom on Strange the most. He has the most raw talent. He can do everything and is so versatile. I just think that for some reason they won't know how to promote him if that sounds right. They didn't know how to promote krizz at first and thats where I see Irv going. That would be my choice though.

Stevie Stone is awesome another good choice, have liked all of the music he has put out... Craig Smith is ehhh to me. He is good at times but at other times seems like he's forcing it. I like him, I just think he needs to develop his style alot more.

They need Riv Locc or Ron Ron... Lol thats just me dreaming.

Yes... Check out Raw. The cd is fucking... raw. I love that cd believe it or not. I'm into any music that has meaning and lyrics that mean something. The whole cd if fucking awesome in my opinion. I didn't think i would be such a fan of his but he made me a believer. I can listen to anything from Fat Tone, Ron Ron, Riv Locc, to Kid Cudi, Cee Lo, Eminem, Devin the Dude, Outkast. And Hopsin's cd will have a place in between all of them. Dude has fucking talent. People are overlookin him.

From thoughtful, Mind bending songs...



to funny, crazy songs...



To some fuck the industry type of songs..

i liked that first song..beat was weak though.. seems to be the only serious flaw with all 3 songs i heard above..its the production..i guess if they did sign him he would probably get better beats..so might be interesting to see if he stepped it up a bit if he got signed..

Everybody listed is dope in they own way. Who knows who might get it if any at all. But I'm thinking alot of people would like to see it go to Hopsin... Although I honestly doubt he would just cause of how much he accomplished by himself and how quick he's growing. Maybe he could do it like they did with Jay Rock and do kind of like a 50-50 type deal. Eithery way any of those names would be straight but like I seen a few heads say they got enough faces on the line-up as it is... They should chill for a lil while and focus on really putting everybody already on out more feel me. Just me tho.
