Last year’s hip hop music offerings left many fans feeling hollow and superproducer Murda Beatz thinks it’s because fans are looking in the wrong places — he says the real heat is in the underground scene!
TMZ Hip Hop got MB’s take on where he predicts hip hop’s heading … admittedly a tough question, even for a studio wiz accustomed to collecting plaques.

He’ll be expecting another soon for his work on Nicki Minaj‘s now platinum-eligible “Pink Friday 2,” but his personal curiosity is focused on lesser-known acts these days.
The way MB sees it, hip hop is hovering over another reset period — he’s seen it before in 2013 when SoundCloud rap began to bubble … eventually making stars out of XXXTentacion, Juice WRLD and Ski Mask the Slump God.
He’s crowning Destroy Lonely and Ken Carson as his leaders of the new school — both budding stars are known to bring punk mosh pit energy to their rap shows, and he also named up-and-coming eclectic Bronx rapper Cash Cobain as a playlist favorite.
