Rap music artist Ke$ha was named Billboard’s Hot 100 Artist of 2010 and the chart’s Top New Artist. Ke$ha’s debut album, Animal, hit the charts in January. The singer also released a new “mini-album”, Cannibal in November. TiK ToK, from Animal went to Number 1 on the single’s chart.

Rap Beats Get The Party Started

Ke$ha will finish 2010 with three singles on the Billboard Hot 100 year-end chart. The 23-year-old Nashville native didn’t intend to become a rap music star, but TiK ToK cemented that image into the minds of many fans. Ke$ha says she plans to experiment with other kinds of music, but found that the rap music charts were very accessible to her as a new artist.

One of the best things about rap audiences is that they’ll give a good listen to anyone who comes up with fresh rap beats. The trend in rap music right now is a “return to roots” approach, which offers listeners a more traditional rap music experience.

New rap artists, however, find that while musicians may find some comfort in returning to their rap music roots, audiences are eager to hear rap beats that take the music genre to the next level.

Rap music is exploding culturally. Throughout the world, artists are finding that rap music is accessible to them and allows them to make the statements they want to make. New self-publishing tools also mean that the music is accessible from a financial standpoint.
