SCOOP RECOGNITION NEWCOMER OF THE YEAR

If you've been keeping up to date around here, you know we love everything about female rapper Cristale, so it's only right she jumps into top spot for newcomer of the year in our opinion.

For a start, her flow and voice while rapping comes across so effortlessly, everything she touches is just very clean and she seems to have a great production team, family, and friends behind her. We're also praying for an album or even just an album announcement over the new year. If Cristale is able to pull off a perfect album release and meet the right people along the way, she could be global this time next year.

Freestyle after freestyle, she keeps showing more potential and has started producing absolute films to go alongside them. We love that Cristale knows exactly what she's doing, from something so simple as posting the right TikTok to making sure she's on the next upcoming televison shows like "Queenie", there's nothing she cannot do.

We cannot wait to see what she's got cooking! Who would you pick for your recognition newcomer of the year?
