A lot of rappers, off top though

• When I first started listening to Kendrick OD wasn’t even out yet

• Yonkers wasn’t out when I found out about Odd Future

• Knew about Curren$y since 504 Boyz, started actively listening to him in 07

• Got put onto Wiz summer 08

• Been fw Carti since late 2014

• Knew about Uzi in 2014, became a fan 2015

• A friend put me onto Youngboy when the 38 Baby song first dropped

• My brother told me about Nudy when the first Slimeball dropped

• Started listening to Lil B in 2010

Odd future
Yung Lean & Sad Boys
XXXTENTACION
G Herbo
Uzi
Denzel Curry
Travis

Saw Post Malone live when nobody knew who he was. Travis and Thug brought him out in Dallas and he did White Iverson. Then went to his own show a few weeks later, he performed White Iverson like 10 times, but Carti and Uzi also performed. They was still kinda new to the scene back then too.

Joey bada$$, Mac Miller I remember seeing the pizza and kool aid video when it was at like 300,000 k views lol

No one really

I’m always either slightly late or really late lol

Brockhampton I guess

But I mean it doesn’t count since KTT was their birthplace lol

Gunna
Lil Keed

Ive been a fan of:

Travis when he released Love Sick

Rocky since Peso

Cole before The Come Up

Drake before SFG

Thug when he first dropped 2 cups stuffed

Kid Cudi when he had like 2 songs out

Frank Ocean when he just dropped nostalgia ultra

Weeknd when he had just released HOB

Wiz Khalifa when he dropped BAR

A ton other artists too coz I was deep into this rap s*** 10+ years ago when all these artists started poppin up

Being on KTT, it actually makes you aware of rappers / artists about to blow

I def remember the Owl Pharaoh hype for Travis but I wasn’t a fan but remember those threads

S*** like that.

Cardi B before she was a rapper. There were threads about her

Young thug threads before he somewhat got popular

Just was never fans of these people and more but seen their come up on KTT

I remember when Rick Ross, who had pretty big at that time, dropped a remix of one of his singles with Currensy and Wiz Khalifa and I was like DAMN!! This is major, my favorite (Wiz) is bout to blow up!

N that was the first time I ever predicted someone blowing up and it effortlessly happened right after that

In the coming years, I ended up predicting almost every huge hip hop artist blowing up way before they was stars

I eventually got into talent scouting

I was tellin my friends 2 years ago about how DaBaby will be the biggest rapper in the game

Im almost never wrong lol

Nobody maybe Don Toliver

Doja
Sampha
ABRA
Rico

This isn't day one imo and I don't listen to him much now but I remember listening to Yachty after a bunch of people started spamming "cold like minnesota" on ktt back in like january 2016

DaBaby. He had 100k Instagram followers when I followed him and his most popular song was either “Today” or “Pull Up Music”. The first song I heard by him was that joint with Money Man.

ASAP Rocky

Ty dolla

Heard all their first rapes when the hit datpiff

First 1000 listens

Knew they would blow up
