Hip-hop

From radio to ringtones, Sean Kingston’s “Beautiful Girls” has been inescapeable this summer, and at 17 years old he has gone from a regular dude making demos, to chart topping vocalist in just over a years span. It’s funny to think that what started as a fateful MySpace message to producer J.R. Rotem to simply listen to his music resulted in being the first artist signed to the platinum plus producers Beluga Heights label with his self-titled debut dropping July 31, but that’s exactly what it is. Promising to “bring feel good music back” Kingston has the world in his scope, and with all the right tools, success is eminent. Despite it all, he remains incredibly humble and down to earth, and while he tries to play cool, his excitement isn’t heard to sense. I mean why not, he’s really about to do it. And what can I say, it may not be for everyone, but in a numbers game, I’m putting my money the rookie.
