Back to 10 New Rappers for Black Music Month 2012

Marcus Manchild

Houston rapper Marcus Manchild is at the forefront of what outsiders are calling "the New Houston Movement," although the "members of the movement" don't necessarily believe that there is one. The MC is mainly known for his spitfire flow showcased on The Preseason and most recently his Space Jams mixtape series. His quick-witted lyrics are clearly influenced by East Coast rap but still Manchild remains true to Houston's laid-back aesthetic -- always respectful to the OGs -- simply creating something to ride to. He's currently working on his next project, Free Yo Mind Music.
