AZ Music Scene

Top 5 Music Artists in Arizona 

1. The Real Khiry 

2. Murkemz

3. Bonni Drip 

4. Dann G 

5. Richie Evans 

The Arizona Music scene has started off on fire for the 2024 year. These 5 artists have come out the gates with heat, and have made a strong campaign on 2024 artist of the year. 

Richie Evans finished the 2023 year with a bang, winning artist of the year, single of the year, video of the year, album of the year, and a handful of other awards throughout the state. With his album “Highly Favorite” hitting the charts and with his chart top single “Can’t Knock the Hustle” featuring Rick Ross, Richie is still riding high. With being featured on a number of tracks like “Quit Playing,” Evans has plans to go even bigger in 2024, and everyone is anticipating what’s to come.

Dann G is a pioneer for Arizona music and is used to being on Arizona’s list of top music. Dann G has as big of a resume as anyone in the state, and is adding to it with his hit jingle “Call Rafi Rafi” going crazy on every radio station. Dann is very well-known for a number of hit singles, and works closely with the who’s who of Arizona and neighboring states. With that, Dann G has done it again with the newly released song “Deposit”, featuring Murkems & Hard Body Yungn with Bootleg Alec doing the intro. With Megawatts producing and never far behind, Dann G  continues to move up. “Arizona artists wanna spend zero dollars on marketing and think they can make a million dollars, that’s not how the music business works,” Megawatts said.

Bonni Drip is the only female on the list, but make no mistake, she can hold her own in every aspect. Bonni is as talented, focused and as consistent as any artist out right now. The quality and quantity in which Bonni is dropping new music is setting her up to be named 2024 artist of the year, with tracks like “Toe Tag”, “Ms Daddy”, and “Assault & Battery” to name a few. Bonni has established herself as a force to be reckoned with and has set the bar high for all artists with how professional she is. The bars come second to no one as well. 

Murkemz has now become a household name in the state of Arizona, and has established himself as one Arizona’s greatest freestylers to have blessed the mic. Murkemz has blessed every major freestyle platform in the US to date, and has left his mark on being one of the greatest to have done it. Still in his prime, Murk is now setting the record straight and silencing all criticism of him only doing freestyle by dropping his new single “Brandy”. Like “Mouth Full of Gold” and “30 Out The Gate” featuring Maino, “Brandy” is hitting the charts hard. Don’t get it twisted, Murk has always been a true all-around artist with singles like “Nasty Bitch” featuring Jayde Pink, and “State Your Name” featuring Chris Coke & Rum Nitty. With arguably the best camp behind him, Murkemz is set to take the 2024 artist of the year award.

The Real Khiry has taken Arizona and its neighboring states by storm. Originally from Atlanta, he has embraced Arizona as his home. From the start, Khiry has put the state on notice with his unique style and work ethic. Khiry has been dropping great chart-topping music from the start with singles like “Free Way” featuring Sam Opoku, “Off Key” and “Southwest Corner”. In 2024, Khiry won the Matty Ice Song Competition with 6 different songs to win $5,000. Now, he’s dropped a new single “Bounce” and has unreleased songs like “Outside” ready to keep him at the top of Arizona music. Khiry has a great vibe and inspirational nature, and has been labeled as one of the best artists to work with. “For the most part, if you’re paying attention in the right areas, then Arizona is putting out amazing music!” states The Real Khiry.
