Neon Hitch
This weeks artist comes from another British import that goes by the name Neon Hitch. This female British singer/songwriter has a very unique back story. She grew up on a bus travelling the world as a trapeze artist and street performer. By the age of 10 she was writing her own poetry. In 2007, she signed to The Streets' Mike Skinner's indie label The Beats Recordings. This gave her the golden opportunity to be the opening act for hip hop artist 50 cent. Neon Hitch had a few bump along the way well. The label she signed with shut down that same year. Since then, she's worked with artists ranging from William Orbit and
Rodney Jerkins to Miike Snow (appearing on Blanco's remix of "Burial").
She also co-wrote the iTunes No. 1 single "Blah Blah Blah" on Ke$ha's
No. 1 album Animal. Neon Hitch is currently getting ready to release her debut album called "Beg, Borrow and Steal, due out Summer 2012 on Warner Bros. Records. What caught my attention was her eye catching and uptempo song called 'F U Betta". So take a listen and tell me what you think.

Roscoe Dash
This week's artist is a hip hop prodigy that I think could take over the hip hop world he goes by the name of Rosco Dash. Roscoe Dash was originally known as ATL. His song All the Way Turnt Up! was originally recorded with Travis Porter and released on their mixtape I'm a Differenter. Dash was only credited as a featured artist. Rosco got a another chance at fame when he recorded with Soulja Boy Tell 'Em. Which help him gain his record deal with Interscope. He then recorded the album Ready Set Go, but in his opinion, the album was released unfinished. He therefore refers to the following EP J.U.I.C.E. as his first album. In 2012 he made XXL Freshmen Top Ten. What got my attention was his song "Good Good Night". So take a listen and tell me what you think.
