ReSrface

"The freshest face on this list, 23-year-old ReSrface, aka Jesse Santana, is a powerhouse in the making. A jack-of-all-trades, he makes most of his own beats, shoots and edits his own videos, does his own arranging, mixing and mastering, and even makes his own album art. After dropping his second album in May, the wildly impressive Virginia Place, he recently released the single "I Believe," with rich, orchestral instrumentals reminiscent of Kanye's early productions. Raised in Montbello and Aurora, ReSrface is a true homegrown gem, and a good omen for the future of Denver's DIY hip-hop scene."
