Three of the "hottest" up-coming artist are featured in the new Summer of '08 issue of Rap-Up. Here are some excerpts from that issue:
Solange Knowles:
On being in Beyoncé’s shadow: “At this point, it’s starting to hurt me more than helpme because my family is sort of known as the new age Huxtables. We’re the clean-cutgirls. But I got married at 17, had a kid at 17. Ever since I was younger, I alwaysconsidered myself to be into more artistic things than [Beyoncé]. People just hear the[Knowles] name and they just put a stamp on it automatically.”
Keri Hilson:
On dating her mentors Timbaland and Polow Da Don: “Oh hell no. I neverconsidered them for a second. Firstly because I never mix business with pleasure. I’venever dated anybody I had to work with ever. So you’ll never see that. Not now, not inthe past, not in the future.”
Teyana Taylor:
On who she admires: “Lauryn Hill because of her voice and her confidence. Justeverything about her is so dope. From her being a rapper and a singer to the stuff shetalks about. I get so happy and start blushing when people say that I am like her.”
