Maybe you dont realize it but I get a lot of emails with people who want to share their music, most of it on myspace these days since thats the easiest and best way to get it out. I get some mp3′s and then occasionally just meet up with people in the streets who give me CD’s and shit. So I thought I’d setup an Independent Spotlight section or Indie Spotlight so I can share all the unsigned people that are grinding and trying to come up with their music. Here’s just a quick sample of a few for the introduction of this new category.
I got an email just a few weeks ago about a man in Houston trying to do his thing. He goes by the name of Young Trot ‘The Lyrical Genius’ and you can check his page out for a few tracks. As the name would indicate he’s definitely a more lyrically developed rapper but the music sounds good. Hit up his page and listen to some of the tracks and post your opinions in the comments to let him and I know what you think of his music.
Next I’ve got a group of people called Skybridge Entertainment and they’ve got a page where you can check out 3 tracks right now and read some of their thoughts and bio. They’re also out of Houston, we know the H stays deep on the rap game these days. So check their page out and let us know what you think.
I’ll keep it down to 3 this time so that we don’t overload or water down the content and you can check out each of these 3 unique artists. The third is Bottles Belafonte a man out of Broward Country Florida by way of Jamaica. You didnt forget that Florida was part of the dirty did you? Well then don’t sleep on this man as he’s got a page with 4 tracks of unique sound, almost a little reggae hip hop style and definitely worth checking out.
So get a look at these 3 and share your opinions in the comments if you’ve got any. Of course if someone is popular and you guys speak up and let me know that you really like someone then I can take it a little more in depth and get with them for an interview or who knows what, maybe some exclusive or new tracks to listen to or more. So speak up and that includes the haters too!

Man on some real shitt this dude Bottles Belafonte is the truth. The nigga is a breath of fresh air in the game right now. I dont know whats going on with the game, why is niggaz like this still underground when bitch niggaz like the jeans so crispy dude, and part like a rock star getting signed. I dont even like rap no more but I would buy this niggaz album. He sounds real hungry and I hope there are some real a&r’s who are still looking for real niggaz. So if you reading this homeboy keep doing your thang the game needs you.
