THE NEW VOICES OF THE PHILLY MUSIC SCENE

Philadelphia has always been known as a musical city. From the early days of Gamble & Huff to the Grammy award-winning rap duo The Fresh Prince and DJ Jazzy Jeff. Our city has produced award-winning artists like The Roots, Jill Scott, KINDRED THE FAMILY SOUL, FLOETRY, Eve, MUSIQ SOULCHILD, Jasmin Sullivan, and a long list of others. 

On the rap scene, artists like Meek Mill, Lil Uzi, Yazz, State Property, Major Figgaz, and Cassidy are all from the city. 

Now there’s a new generation of Philly artists that are making noise in the music industry. 

They come from all over the city. North, west, southwest, and Uptown. Artists like Dell-P,  RJ PAYNE, MEC MONROE, SON OF THE 215, SUZANN CHRISTINE, ROCKY, IMAGE DAVOICE, RA CERTIFIED, DEEJAY THE SINGER, COREY WIMS, REEZY, MAYIA SINGH, and so many more. 

We are a city that loves our music and the artists that represent our hometown. From the legends like Pattie Labelle, Stylistics, and Teddy Pendergrass to the new wave upcoming artist Philly is and will always be the vibe when it comes to making music.
