2017 has been a defining year for music. The rise of streaming has made it possible for artists to permeate the culture faster than ever, and with many of these artists developing rabid young fan bases through social media avenues such as Periscope, Instagram Live, and Snapchat, this cult of personality is key when it comes to characteristics that define a particular artist’s success. Often times the music itself serves only as a tool to develop and sustain a fan base. In 2017, the artist reigns as king. Thus, the music that they put out becomes a ploy to sustain their own clout and celebrity online. Artists like XXXTENTACION, Playboi Carti, and Lil Peep are prime examples of an emerging focus on unbridled aesthetic. Although this direct connection between the artist and their fans creates a sense of deep authenticity, the end product has often times commercially faltered as a result. The rise and fall of Drill music was a key example of this. The artists involved were so singular in their musical aesthetic that any label attempt at garnering them legitimate mainstream exposure fell on deaf ears. However, things have now changed. When looking at Apple Music’s streaming charts, the vast majority of the music found at the top of the charts on the streaming site is urban. However, the iTunes charts (in which one must pay for each song) are dominated by the likes of One Direction members and Shawn Mendes.

Labels are taking advantage of this evolution of consumption. Only a few years ago, the majority of rap albums were being shelved and continuously pushed back by label heads because the demand didn’t seem to be there anymore. Aside from a few big name artists, the culture seemed barren. Rappers would blow up, become signed, and wallow away in label purgatory. Or, they wouldn’t sign at all, and would end up flat-lining. The hype that they sustained online would almost never transfer into sales, because the youthful audience that gravitated towards their music didn’t have the desire or the means, to pay $1.29 for a 3-minute piece of music. Another problem that arose during this time was the idea of an “industry plant”. The hip hop scene that had once flourished on the Billboard charts began to move underground, as iTunes sales became more and more key to chart positioning and radio performance. As hip hop fans became obsessed with the expectation of a singular, transformative musical experience from their artists (TDE, Odd Future, A$AP, Save Money, Funk Volume, etc.), they began attacking the very notion of a label. Thus, the label- curated talent at the time was commercially unsuccessful, giving way to sustained (hip hop) chart domination by the likes of Flo Rida, Pitbull, and Nicki Minaj. Although label- driven trap music was enjoying sustained popularity at this time (lead by Maybach Music and French Montana), the success that these artists enjoyed never really crossed over into the mainstream platform. This era of safe, mainstream, glossy pop ear candy led to an immediate and sustained backlash by rap nerds. To them, artists that were curated by a team of producers and A&Rs were deemed to be fugazi. Fraudulent “plants” (such as Raury, Angel Haze and Theophilus London) that were “pushed” by labels lacked the substance of “legitimate” artists with homegrown fan bases and their albums subsequently flopped.

This rhetoric was juxtaposed with the rise of artists such as Macklemore and Iggy Azalea, and, for a time, it seemed as if there was a true divide between the mainstream pop community and the underground- forum- based hip hop scene. At the time, label heads were only signing artists to their labels if they had recognition online first. They knew that pushing artists that didn’t have an established fan base would be for naught, as nobody would be listening. However, this led to the quick rise and fall of artists such as Fetty Wap, OG Maco, Trinidad Jame$, Makonnen, and Bobby Shmurda (due to criminal misfortune), which made it seem as if artists were being spit out and discarded by the system when they were past their due date. This (early 10’s) wave of rappers faltered so quickly because the advent (and advancement) of YouTube had now made it possible for high quality music videos to be created by unknown rappers and produced by unknown directors. Thus, it was catchy, individual songs (All Gold Everything, Hot N**ga, U Guessed It, etc.) that gained popularity on iTunes and YouTube, not the artists. These new artists also uploaded their (homemade) music to Soundcloud, a free streaming service catering to emerging talent that wanted to bypass the major label hierarchy. Hip Hop purists were resentful of this evolution, and the worry was that there was an uncomfortable and inescapable element of racial exploitation, both on the part of the artist (Trinidad Jame$/Riff Raff) and the record label (the Bobby Schmurda/Epic debacle). This was exacerbated by the newly mainstream virality and memeification of (particularly urban) songs, thanks in part to Vine.

The lines of communication that we now see between the artists and fans (Twitter, Instagram Live, etc.) were not nearly as established then (2013/14), so by the time casual listeners became privy to the songs, the artists behind them had already been signed and their autonomy had been compromised. The accessibility that they enjoyed was limited to outlets that manufactured the product. It was also around this time that Billboard began to incorporate YouTube numbers and Spotify and other streaming providers. Because of this, these singles began to skyrocket up the Billboard charts in record time, ending the dominance of mainstream pop purity. The reason that 2017 is such an important year for music is because it is the first time in recent memory that these two avenues of culture (the casual music listener and the dedicated fan) are converging in a way that feels authentic and natural. While debut albums used to serve as a culmination of an artist’s timeline, major label projects are now an introduction.

In many ways, this rise of streaming reintroduced the music world to the concept of curation and artist development. Labels used to use iTunes in a very narrow sense. They would release singles by artists to try and attract interest, and if the single was successful, they would release an album. However, this left many legitimately intriguing artists by the wayside. Since singles were so important, the labels would dictate the direction and sound of these songs. In the late aughts, artists such as B.o.B, Lupe Fiasco, Wiz Khalifa, Wale, and Jay Rock were forced to release singles (alongside eventual albums) that were catchy and simple enough to be bought, which in turn stripped any sense of actual artistry from them, discouraging their fan bases from investing their time into any kind of (supposed) autonomous narrative. It took cosigns from previously established superstars like Dr. Dre, Rick Ross, Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, and Kanye West to circumvent this system, allowing current mainstays such as Big Sean, Kid Cudi, Meek Mill, Drake, Kendrick Lamar, and J Cole to prosper.

This concept of commercialization is all but dead. Labels (and streaming providers) understand that in 2017, artists without previously established clout can be pushed into the mainstream in a nanosecond. There is no price of entry for the introduction of a new artist anymore, and with this recent development, Apple Music has been responsible for this the rise of current fixtures such as blackbear, D.R.A.M., 6LACK, Amine, Khalid, Smino, ishDARR, and Bryson Tiller by simply plastering their names onto the “new music” banners, adding their songs to important playlists, and streaming their songs on Beats 1 Radio. ishDARR is one of the most interesting cases, as he has been signed to Atlantic Records since 2014, yet one would assume that he was independent based on the lack of a label tangibly attached to his releases.

These artists that arrive onto the scene with the Apple Music (or TIDAL/Spotify) stamp of approval come with rich sonic textures and intricate soundscapes, and their lyrics are refined and succulent. A clear focus on music being the focal point of an artist’s appeal has emerged, and the labels are once again in control of the avenue that fans use to consume media. This isn’t to say that underground (Soundcloud) rap is dying, but rather, the avenue is evolving. On the female side of things, subversive (major label) female acts SZA, Rapsody, Noname, and Kamaiyah have all cultivated substantial mainstream followings under the tyranny of Beyoncè’s musings on the current state of accepted patriarchal standards. The most exciting and raw female rap to emerge recently, however, comes from the underground, where CupcakKe, Princess Nokia, and Azealia Banks thrive with challenging imagery, ideology, and music. The fact that Instagram influencer (8.4 mill. followers) and Love & Hip Hop veteran Cardi B has a legitimate claim to the song of the summer with the ubiquitous “Bodak Yellow” speaks volumes as to how far streaming has helped to establish urban names in the mainstream. Soundcloud upstarts like 21 Savage, Lil Yachty, Kodak Black, and Lil Uzi Vert are now experiencing unprecedented levels of success on streaming platforms in ways that their forebears were never privy to.

The most notable example of these two cultures intertwining into a singular communicative timeline comes from Trippie Redd, a new hip hop rockstar that sounds like a mixture of Lil Uzi Vert and (early) 2010 era Wayne. Although initially finding his way to popularity through the classical Soundcloud avenue, Redd has been receiving a giant push lately, with his single “Luv Scars” being promoted on Apple Music (and other streaming providers). More interestingly, however, is the fact that the majority of his current clout comes from YouTube. Rap Genius uploaded a video of Redd explaining the lyrics to his song, and Pigeons and Planes, a subsidiary of Complex, uploaded the music video to their YouTube channel. To date, the Rap Genius video is hovering at around 700,000 views, while the music video is inching towards 3 million.

Apple Music categorizes Redd’s latest release as independent, yet it would not be surprising to hear that a major label was pushing his distribution. 16- year old Soundcloud icon Lil Pump’s recent digital releases have been changed from being “officially” distributed by Warner Bros. Records, so that the information now reads as a simple “2017”, and when D.R.A.M.’s “Broccoli” first blew up in 2016, Atlantic Records changed the information underneath the song so that it read as EMPIRE distribution (a smaller label that specializes at pushing niche artists in a digital landscape) in an attempt to push a narrative of independent success. XXXtentacion recently released a compilation on EMPIRE as well, and it promoted Anderson Paak’s Malibu on Apple Music in 2016 (when he was already signed to Interscope). EMPIRE’s biggest talent, however, might be the Texan boy band BROCKHAMPTON. Formed on the rap forum Kanyetothe (KTT for short), the band is led by front man Kevin Abstract, who, on “Star,” a standout track off of the group’s debut album Saturation, menacingly raps “Heath Ledger with some dreads / I just gave my nigga head” over sinister production. This level of bluntness and emotional honesty is practically unheard of, so it’s no surprise that the newly formed Viceland scooped up Abstract and the rest of BROCKHAMPTON for their own show, entitled American Boyband.

The most exciting part about 2017 is that all of these artists can exist in unison. There is no fight to the top of the listener’s wallet anymore. The top is a cultivated playground of limitless streaming opportunities. There is a utopian essence to this, and it gives the artists freedom to experiment. Young Thug recently released a project entitled Beautiful Thugger Girls, and although he proclaimed it to be an album on Twitter, Apple Music’s descriptor labels it a mixtape. Young Thug’s label, 300 Ent. (another digital subsidiary of Atlantic), has released four of these commercial mixtapes in the past year and a half, with each experiencing similar levels of success. Thug recently added Quavo, one third of the rap group Migos (also signed to 300 Ent.), to You Said, a track off of Beautiful Thugger Girls, and there have been talks of adding Travis Scott, a Kanye West underling, to another track as well. This concept of crafting a project after it has been released to the public is a recent development, kick- started by West in 2016 during the elongated release of his 7th studio album, The Life of Pablo. Pablo also served as the first album of its kind to be released on streaming outlets only (specifically, for the first few months, by the Jay-Z owned streaming service TIDAL before being made available on all platforms a couple of months later), and its release was quickly mimicked by Coloring Book, the third mixtape by Chance the Rapper, which served as an Apple Music exclusive for its initial week of availability. What made Pablo’s release all the more relevant, however, was the way in which West tinkered and tweaked the production on almost every track on the project in the months after its initial release, as well his decision to add an entirely new track months later in conjunction with his tour announcement, entitled “Saint Pablo”.

The beauty in this newfound artistic freedom of expression is that there is no deadline for Young Thug’s career. His projects are unable to flop, as, to this date, he still hasn’t released his debut album. Atlantic and 300 could attempt to push Thug as a superstar (see: Calvin Harris — Heatstroke [feat. Young Thug, Pharrell, Ariana Grande]) however, part of the reason why he is considered one of the most established and unique rappers in the game today is exactly because of the hands- off approach that his label has taken to his career. The fact that Beautiful Thugger Girls serves as a country- tinged singer-songwriter expose is fascinating, based on the pure fact that Young Thug is the one dictating the direction of the sonic portrait . The experimentation that Thug and his cohorts are offering in terms of musical aesthetic is unparalleled in its complete and utter transparency in examining what masculinity means in 2017. Thankfully, the rise of curation has made it so that no weapon formed against these artists’ relevance and influence will be able to prosper. This current streaming environment has created a safety net for artists that challenge the zeitgeist’s expectations, allowing them to push musical and cultural norms well past their supposedly accepted barriers. As Kanye once famously tweeted, #allpositivevibes.
