MUSICIANS TO LOOK OUT FOR

Cody Joe Hodges Greatly influenced by the outlaw country forged by western icons like Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash, Cody Joe Hodges updates their legendary style with a progressive lyrical approach. After several of his songs hit No.1 on the country charts, the Texas singer continues to skyrocket with his latest track, “Hellbent on Loving You,” a provocative foot­ stomper driven by his signature southern growl.

Foxtrax They may have stumbled across their name during a snowy trip through the woods, but Foxtrax have been nothing but fire since their early 2015 formation: the New York trio has already earned title as a band to watch from industry heavyweights like Live Nation and iTunes. Bursting with bright guitar and bold drum work, their debut EP, The Cabin, is filled with heading­nodding modernity.

Atlee This Los Angeles rapper marries boom­ bap beats, bouncy hip­ pop production, and beyond­his­years lyricism. “Had to go through my worst just to get to better days / selling dope is the best decision I never made / Don’t get it twisted, hustling forever be on my resumé,” he singers on his freshly released debut EP, Lost in Translation.

Cody Brazil Cody Brazil found music in the darkest of places: he was dealing with bouts of mental health problems when he randomly started messing around in the studio. He’s since cultivated a rambunctious, rapidfire hip­hop style, going on to share stages with fast­rising acts like Travis Mills, SoMo, and Mike Stud.

MOSSOM Hailing from Cleveland, Ohio, this drum­and­bass duo put a harder, heavier spin on the raw rock revitalized by the likes of Jack White and The Black Keys. Spluttering riffs and brazen lyrics define their self­titled debut EP, serving up a sound so sinister it’ll make your hair stand on end.
