In a recent post, the LA Times Music Blog summarized reasons why they are feeling “cautiously optimistic” about Hip-Hop in 2010. In part, they wrote…

Though consolidation and a depressed record industry have partially destroyed hip-hop’s once-thriving independent culture, signs of regrowth are present. As outlined by Dart Adams of Bloggerhouse, labels such as A-Side, High Water, Interdependent Media, Mello Music Group and local imprint Tres Records have developed to give Stones Throw, Rhymesayers, Duck Down and Definitive Jux some company.

In addition, they cited the city of Detroit and in particular iM artist Finale as another reason to have hope for the new year.
