XXL: The Break Presents: Young Scolla

The Break is the place to be for fans and artists alike. This brand new section will showcase up and coming talent that hip-hop fans should be aware of. For artists hoping to get discovered, The Break is where it’s at. Just like with XXL’s Ready or Not iPhone App freestyles, The Break artists (there will be three featured on the site each week) will be introduced to a rotating cast of industry insiders who will be able to check out the music and give their thoughts (last month, DJ Drama, Dru Ha and Sha Money took part, while Statik Selektah and DJ Scream are guests for the month of May).
