Burn One's reputation for identifying talent down south is unmatched by anyone else on this list. In past years, he has dropped tapes with Gucci, OJ, Young Dro, Big Kuntry / Slick Pulla, & more before they became household names across the nation. And that trend continued this year with the release of new mixtapes from Jackie Chain & Shamrock, 2 mixtapes from Alabama's G Mane & Pill's very first mixtape, 4180: The Prescription. He was also set to host G-Side's highly anticipated Huntsville International project, but Slow Motion Soundz decided to release it like an album & do it without a DJ.
