It seems like 2011 was the year for people to step out of their comfort zone and start trying something new. A lot of artist came together to collaborate, not to mention the whole dubstep/DJ scene that took over and heavily influenced hip hop. Next In Show is less than 6 months old and already we have accomplished so much. Most of the credit goes to you the reader and all the artists and submissions that we receive. Special Thanks to Kid Boogie & FlowJo Stevo for the premieres and the continued support. NIS has been fortunate enough to work with all these amazing artists and we look forward to what the future has in store for us in 2012. (New Years Eve we will be releasing a special unreleased Cali Swag District Interview *RIP M-Bone* and also an Interview with upcoming rapper OhJay for the release of her debut mixtape 'Crowd Molesters". Get Ready To Pop Bottles!!!

TOP 3 #NEXTINSHOW Artist(Albums)
* Niko Villamor - Inertia *
This is one of those albums that is easy to listen to, but also in heavy rotation because of it's melodic charm. Might be an underrated artist now, but for an almost perfect debut album, I can only see things getting better for Niko.
Songs to look out for: (Studios & Hotels, Decay, Kevlar Heart)

*Iman Omari - Energy *
Energy was instantly inducted into my personal 'albums hall of fame'. The album is heavily influenced by Jazz, but brings a modern twist to the equation. Studying vocal jazz in art school, you can see it plays a big role in this album as well as Iman's life.
Songs to look out for: (I'll Do Anything For You, Let Me, Energy)

*Ryshon Jones - Brightest Nights, Darkest Days *
Although this isn't the first album from rapper Ryshon Jones, Brightest Nights, Darkest Days has closed out 2011 as being one of the most inspiring and influential albums of the year. Such a classic album, but with such a new sound. The catch here is Ryshon has used amazing beats and production with current and buzzworthy samples from artists like The Weeknd, Frank Ocean and Bjork to name a few. This method is something that works perfect for Ryshon. Next In Show had the pleasure to meet and interview Ryshon in the beginning. He was our first official artist to work with. Shout out to that loveable white girl at 2WhiteGirlz.com
