The music industry is rapidly growing by the day, and here are the top three upcoming hip-hop and rap artists to look out for in 2024.

With everyone trying to get into the music industry, finding good artists who are also unique can be difficult. Within this crowd, three artists will catch your attention. These three artists are Ralan Styles, Kid Fob, and Fant0m Studios.

Ralan Styles is a scientist when it comes to music. Styles experiments with different sounds and music while combining hip-hop, rap, and R&B to create a unique sound that will not bore his audience. Styles had an uprising with his single “Baby Shark,” which was released in 2022 and gained a lot of attention very quickly across all music and entertainment platforms. 

“His unique blend of hip-hop and R&B has earned him praise from fans and critics alike,” Pianity, a digital music service said. “He’s not afraid to explore new sounds or break boundaries when it comes to his music.”

Kid Fob is a newer artist who has a clear goal: to put Boston on the map. Mixing the styles of some famous artists like Kid Cudi, Travis Scott, and Kanye, Fob has crafted a unique style that makes him stand out. Fob never backs down and learns from his mistakes to try to make every song his best song. Fob had a breakout with his hit song “Duffy,” which gained a lot of attention on SoundCloud and garnered Fob’s initial recognition. 

“I try to be a perfectionist. You could ask my engineer and my boys. I’m always looking for areas to improve,” Kid Fob said. “I’m never the type to turn anyone down if they offer constructive criticism, and I make room for error.”

Fant0m Studios is a young duo that has produced their own sub-genre in the music industry. Combining elements from American rap and UK beats, Fant0m has given the industry something new to listen to. Their fans admire their unique style and how it sets them apart from all the other artists, along with their ability to adapt to any type of music and beat to never disappoint their fans. Fant0m had their uprising moment with the release of “Never Had,” which surpassed amazing milestones and comfortably landed their single on iTunes and Spotify’s top 200 charts. 

“Their unique blend of influences results in music that is fresh and exciting and resonates with a diverse audience,” Medium, an American online publishing platform said. “They have established a distinct identity that sets them apart from other artists.”
