She was a big draw at this year’s Rolling Loud Festival in NYC, performing songs off her latest release, What’s My Name. Ken the Man, whose rap name began because she needed to distinguish herself from other Kens on SoundCloud, but quickly stuck because of her skill and ability to out rap anyone, including the dudes, continues to increase her fanbase with each release.
The album’s commercial success showed the world that Ken was more than ready for a bigger stage. Instagram: 2020 Kentavia Miller released 4 da 304’s, an independently released album produced by Houston’s own Bigg Cuz Beats. He continues to sign acts like Peso Peso and Rizzoo Rizzoo, continues to drop new music, continues to be controversial (right now TSF members are campaigning to get Sauce’s Instagram back), and continues to solidify his legacy. While some might say he’s reached his ceiling it’s our belief that he’s just getting started. He’s been praised by Jay-Z, beefed with several rappers, signed a string of talent to his label, and doesn’t appear to be showing any signs of stopping. He’s well known by his peers in the industry and his polarizing personality garners attention while helping fuel his independent label, TSF. He has quickly risen to as one of the more influential rappers out of Houston. Actually, Sauce Walka could have been on anyone’s who-to-watch-in Texas list for the last five years. I was only going to name ten artists, but the truth is Sauce Walka should have been on the list two years ago. This list is in no particular order but everyone on it is someone that you should keep an eye on. Overall, the artists on that list continue to grow and help sustain the increasing hold that Houston has on the music industry and pop culture. Le$ dropped an album with Houston legend Bun B and then returned with a solo album for the end of the year. Tobe Nwigwe just ended a sold-out tour here in Houston with a cast of Hip-Hop all-stars. Maxo Kream released the introspective Weight of the World to critical acclaim. A lot of the artists like Megan Thee Stallion had already built-up steam so it was a little easier to weather the storm but everyone on the list continued to grow over the last two years. Of course, this was pre-pandemic and adjusting to the new music climate proved to be a big obstacle for those in the entertainment industry. Listen/Watch “SUCKA!” ft.Back in 2019 we published a list of Houston artists to keep an eye on.

He was also featured in the new Givenchy Family campaign and continued to show his creative genius by turning an e-mail interview into a multi-song and visual creative piece for Pigeons & Planes. In the accompanying visual Teezo presents all of the different sides of himself, showing that you are more than just what you see on the outside and it’s okay to be all versions of your authentic self.Ģ020 proved to be a breakout year for Teezo having shared tracks and visuals for “Bad Enough,” “Rooting For You,” “Careful,” “SUCKA!” and “Strong Friend” all filmed in his hometown of Beaumont, Texas. “Technically” follows the release of “Social Cues” where Teezo’s captivating and relatable lyrics make this a standout in his already impressive catalogue of releases. I’ve been singing this all week”- creativity and storytelling continues to shine through on his first release in 2021. Speaking on the release Teezo takes a different approach in wanting to shout out a fan who has been anxiously awaiting the track: “Pleaseee drop. The melodic track about relationships and social status is paired with an imaginative visual filled with skits that juxtapose the lifestyles and conversations of a celebrity, “the regulars” and two female friends at a restaurant ‘La Garage.’ The visual is filmed in Beaumont as a continuation of his previous videos shot in front of the same garage space.
