Featured Artist: BlaccOut Garrison

If you don't know who BlaccOut Garrison (born Ta'Ron Deonte Garrison) is, you will know him soon. The Minnesota based rapper's career has begun to take flight since he began pursing a rap career 5 years ago. In 2012, his participation in the Who Better TV Cypher was recognized by blog titan WorldStar HipHop and he has been nominated for a long list of local and statewide awards since. 

His current mixtape, aptly titled Dreams & Thoughts, is a well-crafted collection of fresh, soulful beats and superior storytelling. BlaccOut Garrison is a student of J. Cole, 9th Wonder, and Kanye West (among others), and it is evident in his unique delivery. The 20 year old is looking forward to joining other new school rappers, like Kendrick Lamar, in reviving the roots of hip-hop in a mainstream setting. And, with over 18,000 followers on Twitter and his own brand, "The Dreamers Community", he is well on his way.
