Lex the Hex Master just signed to LSP, he could be the next one to blow up

pop smoke was our next superstar his songs was getting play worldwide. they still play him in france on the radio.
every single one of nyc upcoming rapper either gets locked up or goes to jail.

and the real truth barley any real ny nikkas left in nyc everybody moved to upstate pa va nc and fl.
nobody can afford it here and the city type trash compare to what it used to be. i met more real ny nikkas in allentown and scranton than in the ny lol.

Taylor Swift did 3 nights at MetLife. I predict Lex the Hex Master does at least 12.

Imma keep it real. Pop Smoke ceiling was prolly lil durk at best.



Im talking Drake/Kendrick/Cole/Future/Travis level

Oh my gawd what happened to Virgil

He'd be bigger than Durk, but not quite what you're describing. Future and Travis are in odd spaces where they don't feel quite as big as the other 3, Pop would likely be behind them.

Nah, Pop definitely would’ve been a star today, his voice combined with that UK/NY drill sound that wasn’t really mainstream yet made him standout.

Star is not a superstar.

It’s been over for NYC for a long time.

The guy in op needed West coast beats and co-signs and a southern drawl to get over.

When is the last time NYC had a star who sounded like NYC over NYC sounds?

That style doesn't appeal to the masses.

Pop smoke would have been the biggest thing outta New York since Nicki Minaj.

Future is a superstar

This thread even brings up a new question. Why is it easier for chicks to pop in NY over nikkas now?

Cause NY dudes are simps and their women stay sonnin em
