Take for example Spree Wilson.

He's one of the fastest rising artists on Atlanta's bustling music scene and a hot new talent that I'm really excited about. His happy-go lucky flow, punchy delivery and genre-crossing style is inspired by everything from The Beach Boys to Outkast, and from The Beatles to Bob Dylan. Together with artists like Janelle Monae, Wilson brings a distinct new sound to Atlanta that has incredible crossover appeal.

It's hip hop, it's pop, it rock, it's whatever you want it to be really.


In an interview with Atlanta's Creative Loafing, Wilson explains that he was considered a sell out when he listened to bands like The Beach Boys, Nirvana and R.E.M while growing up. For a while, he tried to catch on with the majority but  he realized he rather did his own thing. ""I always cared about what other people thought," he says. "Then in the
last couple of months, I just came to a point where I don't give a
fuck. And you know what I realized? It makes my music better," he says.

He adds, "When
you're fearless, it makes your music better." Amen to that. Check out Spree's track "Dreamworld" (with Novel on vocals). Great beat. Major flow. Tremendous potential.
