'Rap Pedestal' a Hip Hop Spotify Playlist

Many times, when the words explicit and unsigned proceed the word music, listeners tend to shy away or pass over those songs.

Today, I'm sharing one particular Spotify playlist that does contain explicit songs from unsigned artist but is worth a listen and a share. Rap Pedestal is a up and coming unsigned artist playlist specifically made to be played for A&Rs, Producers, Writers, Managers, and other artists. It's a network playlist but it is also a playlist that many music fans will surely dig.

This playlist is 3 hours and 13 minutes of a mix of mostly hip hop, r&b, soul, with a little hint of urbano latino, pop and country.

Although many of the artist are not familiar to me, this doesn't mean they are new to the game. By doing a little digging, I was able to find a little background info on some of these talented artist.

Songs may not appear in this specific order once you visit the playlist.

1. Perfect - Lester Sanchez (feat. Tah O & Quincy Jamal)

Hip-Hop/Rap • 2019

Originally from Bayamon, Puerto Rico, Lester Sanchez quickly gravitated to the hip hop sound when he relocated to Texas at a very young age. With early memories of being impacted by people like Mase & Biggie, Lester was consumed by hip hop and has been in love with music ever since. Over the years, Lester has gone through many phases to become a singer who is heavily influenced by Rap & R&B.

After dropping 3 albums/EP's in the late 2010's, Lester re-emerged with "Troubled Heart" and "Wentworth" (a collaborative project with artist Quincy Jamal). Lester finds himself most comfortable in a studio, creating music and improving his craft. Lester's goal has always been, and will continue to be, great music that will get greater. Lester Sanchez is expected to drop a full length, studio produced project in early 2020.

Julian King is an emerging singer/songwriter, who is breaking into the music industry with the poise and class of a seasoned veteran. An alum of the acclaimed Philadelphia High School for Creative and Performing Arts, King went on to attend the University of the Arts, where he graduated with a degree in Vocal Performance.

A triple threat with virtuoso vocals, attention-grabbing dance moves, as well as skillful musicianship on piano, there is no denying that Julian King is a multi-talented artist.

If King's name sounds familiar it's because he is fresh off a run on NBC’s The Voice, where he placed in the Top 32, King’s recent accomplishments include performing in two successful revue-style shows, Motor City Live and Disco, in Atlantic City at the new Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, touring five-star hotels in China for a year, performing the National Anthem for the Philadelphia 76ers, singing background vocals for Syleena Johnson, and opening for Mary J. Blige.

With his definitive style and formidable talent, King is on a fast track to being the next world-class entertainer and icon.

16. Free Mind Lord Rotten (feat. YG Rell)

Hip-Hop/Rap • 2019

In the words of Lord Rotten himself ...

“ Gangstas don’t die/ they get chubby and move to Miami” For some reason. This line has always been replayed in my head. I have no understanding of it. I’ve done things but i’m no gangsta. I’m from East Orlando and I used to spend time in Liberty City. Saying that, i’m not trying to move to Miami. I like the cold that’s why I moved to Pittsburgh. Yes I exchanged sunshine for the cold lol. I’m complicated like that. I work for a living and that’s how I get my bread. And this ain’t a knock, but I ain’t bussin’ the block. I could’ve easily went that route, I put my toe into them icy waters for a second. But I was lucky enough to see another way. Besides I enjoy my “freedom.” S/O to Dot Hines. He down for a stretch. Very talented brother of mines. He on that Rotten Republic album. I advise you definitely hear my dog talk that shit. I wrote my bio like a journal entry so you can see that you only going to get honesty and as much truth as I can freely give in my music. I feel like I want to speak as much truth as I can about myself because at our core emotions, we are ALL the same. Music is supposed to relate ya dig. The more I relate the more money I make and I can get from out my job lol."
