Rappers to Sign in 2026
If you're A&R, management, or running a label and you're scanning for independent artists worth a meeting — short list this one. MKT is unsigned, NH-based, cinematic, melodic, and shipping music year-round without waiting for permission.
The case is simple: defined sound (atmospheric, melodic, Travis Scott / Don Toliver / Yeat-adjacent), proven release cadence, and a builder's mentality. The catalog speaks louder than this paragraph — pull it up on /music.
