One of our favorite trends from 2009—a constant flow of new and exciting rap music bubbling up from Nashville's underground—continues in the Big '10 with Young Thee’s appearance at Music City Mixer 2.0. Young Thee's confident, clever flows and rugged, unpolished beats have all the hallmarks of the burgeoning Music City sound, switching up between menacing Southern minimalism and spaced-out, melodically dense backpacker beats. Sadly, though, Music City Mixer 2.0 is also carrying on one of our least favorite trends: promoting their “invited” guest list. Seriously, when the list of people that have been “invited” to your function takes up more flyer space than the performers that are appearing, there is something seriously wrong. Are people really gonna pay their hard-earned money for the off chance that a second-string local celebrity will be in attendance? We don't think so.
