Above: The MySpace page belonging to Lil Spreezy (msypace.com/officialspreezy), Our Pick for Best MySpace rapper in Georgia.
VIBE scoured mixtapes and the internet to track down the flyest new MC in every state (plus Washington, DC)! Here are our 51 game-changers. By Kendra Desrosiers, Brent Grier, Amirah Mercer, Nicole Brinson, and Sable Tempestt. Additional Reporting by Guerdley Cajus.
NAME: SKYZOO
HOMETOWN: Brooklyn, N.Y.
MYSPACE PAGE
Brooklyn has long been an incubator for talented wordsmiths, and Skyzoo, 24, has been paying close attention to his borough's brethren. "I moved over to Bed-Stuy when I was 11," says Gregory Skyler Taylor, 24. "I was right around the corner from where Biggie was at, so I saw his whole come up as a kid." Now with mixtapes galore and a star presence in New York's underground, he'll have a chance to catch up to his heroes. Brent S. Grier
NAME: NINA ROSS
HOMETOWN: Philadelphia
MYSPACE PAGE
Nina Ross is no cookie-cutter female MC, and she's not focused on lip-gloss or ass-shaking. Instead, her gritty lyrics blur the line between the sexes - in both hip hop and life. The harsh reality of Nina's own experiences are ingrained in her hard-hitting flow and her delivery is so piercing it could make a grown man cry. No wonder she calls herself the "Boss Bitch." Amirah Mercer
NAME: WALE
HOMETOWN: Washington, D.C.
MYSPACE PAGE
"I'm just making the best music possible that I can feel good about at night when I go to sleep," says Chocolate City local and Mark Ronson affiliate Wale "We Ain't Like Everyone" Folarin, 22. With clever odes to sneakers, old-school hip hop and "good girls," and a deft lyrical complexity featured on his 100 Miles and Runnin' mixtape (check the MySpace) it's only a matter of time before this D.C. native is officially on the map. Kendra Desrosiers
South
NAME: BIG K.R.I.T.
HOMETOWN: Meridian, Miss.
MYSPACE PAGE
Big K.R.I.T. , 21, acknowledges that his name's acronym, which stands for King Remembered In Time, is unusual. "But it's just a humble way of saying I'ma be looked at as king before my career is over with," he says. Shouldn't be hard to achieve for a Curtis Mayfield-inspired rapper from the Sipp who resists easy categorization. Amirah Mercer
NAME: ZEDZILLA
HOMETOWN: South Memphis, Tenn.
MYSPACE PAGE
As his heavy Southern drawl suggests, Zedzilla, 23, is "laid back" - until he hits the stage. Who wouldn't get hype while rocking to the Yo Gotti protege's "Zilla," an intense mix of torrential bass and quick flow? "I see myself kicking back behind the scenes as a CEO in 10 years," he says. Before that, he'll need the world to hear his heavy hits. Amirah Mercer
NAME: LIL SPREEZY
HOMETOWN: Atlanta
MYSPACE PAGE
Atlanta has produced yet another high school-age femme MC to show and prove alongside Crime Mob's Diamond and Princess. The 17-year-old Spreezy may be cheery in person, but on record, she's a tough girl. "I need to let these females, especially young females, know that they can do it," she says. "They can shine, too." Kendra Desrosiers
Midwest
NAME: PAYROLL
HOMETOWN: Chicago
MYSPACE PAGE
The Chi-town native is known locally for having gotten into a fight with Kanye West over supposedly stolen lyrics. But his debut album, Money, Mack, and Murder, released earlier this year on Legion Records, is more notable as a genuine artifact of Chicago gangsta rap. Nicole Brinson
NAME: EBONIX
HOMETOWN: Milwaukee, Wis.
MYSPACE PAGE
Only 19, Ebonix has already learned some harsh lessons about the industry, thanks to his now estranged Black House Gang posse. "Our manager would say, 'do this and that and rehearse,' but we didn't do it," he says. "We were slipping." Now rolling solo, Hubert "Ebonix" Kelly is poised to build his career from the ground up - through house shows, slick production, and a tenacious sound, he's looking to put Wisconsin on the map for more than the Green Bay Packers. Brent S. Grier
NAME: POOH GUTTA
HOMETOWN: Cleveland, Ohio
MYSPACE PAGE
For a Cleveland native, Pooh Gutta's flow has an undeniable Southern swag. As one fourth of Royal Camp, Gutta, 19, has earned a reputation for catchy choruses and wild wordplay. His rhymes are laced with bits of country grammar, earning mixtape spots alongside artists like Young Buck. Kendra Desrosiers
West
NAME: TYGA
HOMETOWN: Compton, Calif.
MYSPACE PAGE
Already featured on Fall Out Boy's "This Ain't a Scene, It's An Arms Race (Remix)," this 17-year-old Compton native is the cousin of Gym Class Heroes MC Travis McCoy. "No question, he is my biggest inspiration," Tyga says of his cuz. Since his remix breakout, the diminutive MC with the slippery flow appeared on MTV's VMAs and is rumored to be signing with Fall Out bassist Pete Wentz' Decaydance label. Stay tuned. Nicole Brinson
NAME: SNOWY
HOMETOWN: Denver, Colo.
MYSPACE PAGE
"If you ain't trying to go big, then don't go at all", says 16–year-old Snowy. The young MC says he knew it was time for a clean slate after his parents witnessed his arrest on a gun charge. After his release, he's been focusing purely on making it big, relying on an energetic flow and pop-ready hooks. Maybe we'll all be chanting "Make it snow" sooner than we think. Nicole Brinson
NAME: JOKER THE BAILBONDSMAN
HOMETOWN: Anchorage, Alaska
MYSPACE PAGE
Joker the Bailbondsman, 29, is the brightest star in a state largely ignored when it comes to rap. Born Sean Sullivan in Anchorage, Joker's music is surprisingly upbeat considering Alaska's frigid temperatures. If the name sounds familiar, you may remember Joker's video "Ladies Coming Over," from BET: Uncut. "It was a great place for independent artists," he says. "Especially if you didn't have a million-dollar budget." Brent S. Grier

Shots out to Shelly B for doing her thing for the state and every other rapper out there in myspace land but seriously...WTF was you thinking with some of these picks for the best myspace rapper out of some of these states? I'm hotter than most and was a little upset I wasn't told about the contest. When I found out it was too late but my page was on with music and vibe never touched it. So how many rappers did you actually look at? Don't wanna ramble on so just holla at cha boy and cop that mixtape www.myspace.com/passionofsnipes Holla at cha boy! -Snipes

RidikuLouz says:
Seriously, I think ya'll should re-do some votes. I may be 18 years of age, but I recognize talent like any other. No disrespects to you as a magazine or company, but you should have done a lot more research. Because line for line, there are way better artists out than some of those nominated. Skyzoo is probably the best male artist up there by far, and that's real. I been paying attention to him since the Freestyle Friday Battle back in the day. But alot of others are definitely slacking.

Preston says:
This was a good idea. For many years, I thought that rappers were only limited to New York, LA, Chicago, Atlanta, or Miami. Now it's in all 51 states! I thought that the less populated states like the Dakotas or Montana were more into country or pop songs. But there are some that want their BEATS and hip-hop! I'm checking out all 51 states' MySpace rappers this week! Very diverse styles, from the more commercial to hardcore, the intellectual/political to gangster, to R&B to pop to even tropical, as with Rhode Island. All the major labels from the Columbias to the Warner Brothers to Def Jam need to sign some of these artists on their rosters soon!!!

Mike Stein says:
It's funny how you people always ignore your own who truly deserve attention and respect for remaining true to themselves and the game. Yeah, the indie rap artist from Detroit named "Feloni" is controversial, but at least she's bringin' somethin' new to the game. And she spits better than any female (indie) rapper you've named to date (stop the biased reviews!) . She's been on, and has stayed on, the myspace top 100 chart for michigan in pop, rap and hip-hop for 2 yrs consectutively. The person you named for michigan can't even spit better than her nor has accomplished what she has since releasing her debut album this past Feb (Black History Month) in such a short time. He sounds like every other brotha' out there tryin' to get a basketball scholarship...i mean, rap scholarship. If you have an open mind, check her out at www.myspace.com/feloni

KHALIL AMANI says:
It is damn near impossible to come up with the best internet rappers by a few people! There are literally THOUSANDS of Internet rappers! I wasn't impressed with none of the "best lyrics". I 'll just submit one rap lyric by an Internet rapper that's better than anything presented... Lesbian MC FELONi raps, "My mama never had a good man in life/ for all you muthafuckas wantin' to know why I'm a dike!" It's obvious that Vibe's list was relegated to straight/hetero hip-hop rap.
