You know I had to bring em back..

Recently, these 3 artists have all popped up on my iPod and made me wonder about their new material. For those who don't know, here's 3 artists that should've been big, but weren't & will hopefully be releasing new material soon:

Fannypack

Fannypack's debut self titled album was my sh*t back in the day! Every single tune on the album is a banger. It features skits that are actually funny, jokes bars, brilliant singing & production and tunes that sample everything from Run DMC to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Their second album came out in 2005, but was widely ignored. They now have their own label in addition to their deal with Tommy Boy & new material should be surfacing soon, so keep those eyes peeled!



Nikka Costa

Nikka has been in show business since she was a child & it shows in her innovative writing style & amazing live shows. She had already released two albums before she met Mark Ronson & had a worldwide hit with "Like A Feather" (still the best beat Ronson has ever done).
She's currently working on a new album & is also the face of the new Levi Jeans campaign alongside Wale & Estelle.



Stefy

Stefy were formerly known as The Lovely which is where most people remember them from. They became Stefy (named after lead singer Stefy Rae) & scored a worldwide smash with the anthemic "Chelsea".
The debut album didn't do as well as it should have & the group are currently working on new material that should see the light of day in '09.
Anyone who knows of my personal relationship with Stefy may be reading this article & rolling their eyes, but you'd do well to check out the music of a brilliant band making tunes unlike anything else in the current popular music scene.
