密歇根新闻广播 底特律未来的嘻哈明星（在线收听）

New year, new Detroit music. Paul Young of Detroit Music Magazine tells us about some of Detroit's best upcoming artists in hip-hop and techno. Plus, he reflects on the death of legendary Big Chief guitarist Phil Durr.

"Bloxk Party" by Sada Baby & Drego

Young describes Sada Baby as a talented dancer and "regional favorite," whose association with popular rapper Tee Grizzley has helped augment his fame. Sada Baby's lyrics feature clever and sometimes unexpected references, like the line from his song "Triple Double" that doubles as a nod to the Adam Sandler film The Waterboy. His next project, Bartier Bounty, will be released January 25.

"Superstupid" by Big Chief

Phil Dürr, a popular guitarist who played with bands like Big Chief, Five Horse Johnson, Luder, and more, passed away January 11 from a heart attack. A fixture of the Detroit punk and rock scene, Dürr was known for his "face-melting guitar playing" and kind soul. A memorial will be held for Durr at the Magic Bag in Ferndale on January 29.

"Ninety6" by Black Noi$e

Rob Mansel, also known as Black Noi$e, recently released his first LP Illusions. The artist's unique style is informed by electronic inspirations, house, techno, trap, and even hip-hop. Young says that although Black Noie isn't afraid to flex his "experimental muscle," he's also "clearly a student of the game" who's aware of the lasting legacies that techno, electronic, and house musical styles have in the city of Detroit.
