Highly disappointed that there wasnt a southern artist that you felt should be on the list. Dont get me wrong it is many great artist picked and some even in my personal playlist. Yet, I feel there is room for at least one down south artist to grace this list. Don Trip out of Memphis had a major single with “Letter To My Son” feat the atl legend Cee-lo & not to mention the impact the artist “Future” has had across the entire country. Thats just two off top of my head with plenty more great names patiently waiting for commercial markets to show us luv!
