Found in: Music, FeaturesThe Most Exciting Artists I Discovered This Year
Here at Paste, we pride ourselves on championing new artists. So much so, in fact, that we devoted a whole cover story to the subject just a few months back. For the purposes of this blog post, I automatically ruled out anyone who appeared in that Best Of What’s Next feature, or in our monthly Emergent section.

It’s a style that’s lasted through the decades, with everyone from Brit punks to hip-hop moguls to young female MCs donning the kicks.
