iGOTNEXT: ROC NATION-2010 ROSTER
ARTIST
BRIDGET KELLY

It was later that same year, after her management landed a once in a lifetime meeting with Roc Nation’s A&R team, that Bridget’s tenacity paid off – she was signed to her first major recording and publishing deal. As the saying goes “timing is everything,” and Bridget’s time has certainly come! She’s currently working on her debut album with a vastly creative group of producers and musicians, scheduled for release in 2010.
HUGO
Unlike most manufactured mainstream acts, singing and songwriting sensation Hugo exudes a rarely found brand of effortless cool. Whenever discussing his first US releaseOld Tyme Religion, Hugo is instantly at home thanks to his brilliant debut’s mix of rock, soul and Mekong Delta Blues. Hugo and Old Tyme Religion introduce a new audience to multiple international influences, style and true soul through lyrics and music- Roc Nation.com
J.COLE
The rap world is at a crossroads. With such a diverse display, J. Cole (born Jermaine Cole) is poised to wake up a dormant industry and cement his name in this game.

Looking to excel where his contemporaries have failed, North Carolina native J. Cole brings promise of a new day in hip-hop music.
