KONGOS/RS

ROLLING UP: "A Balkan accordionist, a Burundi drummer, an American slide guitarist, and a British rock star walk into a bar. High-octane folk-pop ensues." So writes Rolling Stone of Epic's KONGOS, one of the mag's 10 New Artists You Need to Know. The list also includes such up-and-comers as Republic's John Newman, Columbia's DJ Snake, CTE/Def Jam/IDJ's YG and rapper Isaiah Rashad (from the TDE camp that brought you Kendrick Lamar and SchoolboyQ), among others. And if you really want to run amok in the field of emerging music, check out next week's New & Developing Artists issue of our print mag. (2/21p)
