Artist Of The Year: M-Dot (2011)

M-Dot!!!!  The name rings clearly enough on any track this Bostonian finds himself on.   The trademark ‘shout-out’ announces his verse is up next, and yes folks, the man is up next.   M-Dot has found himself on countless projects this year and every time he spits, it’s a win.    He has put out a remixed album with DJ Jean Maron this year and a mixtape entitled, M.ore D.oubters O.ver T.hinking.   He also was a part of one of the dopest videos this year with DJ Brans and Armageddon (Terror Squad) entitled World Wide.

With all the being said, M-Dot is constantly on his grind, building on his budding reputation as one of the pre-eminent independent hip hop artists today.  Today,  Hip Hop Dependency wants to recognize, M-Dot for all of his accomplishments in 2011 as our Artist Of The Year.  His consistency behind the mic and his work ethic is well deserving.

M-Dot agreed to answer a few questions for me and I am proud to deliver this interview of one of my favorite artists.  Do yourself a favor, check this interview out but be sure to check out the projects he has out and support!

Check The Discography: E.M.S.

There are just a few collectives out there that put out consistently dope hip hop.  E.M.S. is one such collection of artists.  This group of artists out of  Massachusetts have put out an incredible amount of material and I wanted to give the readers an opportunity to give some of these releases  a listen.  A big shout out to Rev from E.M.S. for compiling all of these releases.

I have personally heard 90% of these albums/mixtapes and I can attest for their dopeness. Now, remember,  I wasn’t trying to put out every mixtape or guest shot these artists have ever been on.  This is just their own releases.  Please enjoy this late holiday gift…
