Discover New Artists and Share Ecency/HIVE for Rewards
Ecency Rising Artist Challenge — Week 2
Discover New Music. Share Your Ecency Link. Earn HSBI + Token Tips.
YouTube’s Artists on the Rise page drops fresh talent every week — new voices, new genres, new energy. And Ecency is the perfect place to turn that discovery into something bigger.
We’re not just listening to music.
We’re building a community.
We’re inviting new people into the decentralized world we actually believe in.
This week, I picked three trending artists with completely different vibes.
A hyperpop provocateur shaking up festival stages, a Chicago drill prodigy turning raw storytelling into chart momentum, and a Canadian alt‑country singer whose confessional songwriting is breaking into international charts. Together, they represent the wild range of artists bubbling up across YouTube’s Artists on the Rise: dance‑pop chaos, gritty street romance, and emotionally charged folk‑rock.
The Rising Artists only updated with two new tracks so I had to go back to find an older track, but I think you all will enjoy it even if it's a few more weeks older.

Artist Spotlights
BabyChiefDoIt - Ghetto Love Story
BabyChiefDoIt (Jayden Whitter Jones) is a Chicago drill rapper whose rise has been fueled by viral TikTok hits, Billboard chart entries, and a 2025 XXL Freshman selection. His 2026 track “Ghetto Love Story” showcases his gritty storytelling and emotional edge, reflecting the South Side environment that shaped his sound. He’s known for high‑energy delivery, raw lyricism, and a rapidly growing fanbase across digital platforms.
Cameron Whitcomb - Kingdom of Fear
Cameron Whitcomb is a Canadian singer‑songwriter blending alternative country, folk rock, and folk pop with confessional, emotionally intense lyrics. After breaking out on American Idol, he signed with Atlantic Records and built a massive streaming presence. “Kingdom of Fear” became his first Billboard Hot 100 entry, praised for its gritty vocals and high‑energy folk‑rock sound. His music often explores addiction, mental health, and personal struggle — giving his work a raw, lived‑in authenticity.
Slayyyter - DANCE
Slayyyter is an American singer‑songwriter known for her brash, sex‑positive electropop and hyperpop sound. She broke out from SoundCloud into full‑scale pop stardom, touring with Charli XCX, Kesha, and Tove Lo, and delivering viral festival moments like her 2026 Coachella debut. Her music blends Y2K pop nostalgia with sharp, club‑ready production — and “DANCE” fits right into her high‑energy, neon‑soaked aesthetic.
Why This Challenge Matters (Ecency Edition)
Every backlink you drop on YouTube becomes:
A public invite to Ecency
A gateway for new creators
A signal boost for decentralized communities
A way to grow Hive without shilling Hive directly
You’re not asking people to “join Hive.”
You’re inviting them to my Ecency post, where the platform does the onboarding automatically.
This is how we grow — organically, creatively, and together.

Pick a song.

Let’s make Ecency the place where music discovery meets decentralized community building.
I've been doing music research for these past months. Although I am more interested in nitch genres like Japanese R&B and Soundscape/ambient music and sub-genre of them. Also been doing a lot of AI generated music, I've found interesting mixes from people that might not be able to sing together or would have been a great collaboration.
Hey thats cool. This experiment with the trending artist is about music exploration for myself as well as others so I hope you found a song you liked in this lineup. I would love to have your feedback and participation in this week's challenge :D I thoroughly enjoyed all these songs but based on your preference I would suggest listening to DANCE by Slayyyter.

BTW have you been over to @blocktunes. The hive platform now have some music creation tunes. I suggest you to read it's published articles on how to use the platform. The studio is a great set of tools to write songs, mix, remaster and publish them etc.
never heard of it but it is looking like a great UI. Very polished project! I will have to check it out but this is an Ecency Challenge... Did you listen to any of the tracks I shared in the post?
Yeah that first one, BabyChiefDoIt remind me of those bubblegum 2000s dance hiphop like 3LW, I actually have a song in my mind but can't remember who sing it. They have those same catchy drum patterns. The other girl you showed me, sounds too popish I think, more like a Britney Spears "crazy" with some EDM.
BTW this is more of a current Japanese female Hiphop rapper... remind me of Megan The Stallion.
Fuck yea haha thanks for the share and I went ahead and used this as an opportunity to give another example of a backlink for this challenge. Will you join the challenge? There is loot to share lol
