Music Business Worldwide presents the final four rising stars from Vevo’s DSCVR Artists To Watch 2026, starting with…
LaBlackie
Chiara Bonarrigo, Senior Manager, EU Label Relations: “Blending urban genres such as drill, trap, dancehall, and American rap, LaBlackie is literally bursting onto the Spanish urban scene.
“Her attitude and stage presence are outstanding, and she’s a powerful advocate for female rap. Already part of our Vevo Newcomers campaign, I’m thrilled to keep supporting LaBlackie on her path toward a breakthrough!”
LaBlackie: “The experience on set was incredible! I never thought I’d travel so far for work. I hope it helps me reach a wider international audience.”
ROA
Julie Fernandez, Director, Artist & Label Relations: “ROA, straight from Naranjito, Puerto Rico is Latin Trap and Reggaeton’s next biggest star. At only 28 years old and in the early stages of his career, he has already amassed over 105M streams globally.
“He has had numerous hits such as ETA RMX, FANTASÍA and most recently REINA. He has already collaborated with fellow superstars such as Luar La L, Omar Courtz and Jay Wheeler just to name a few. We are beyond humbled and grateful to be a part of ROA’s journey thus far and honored to have him as one of our Vevo 2026 DSCVR Artists to Watch. We can’t wait to continue to see him rise to the top in the Latin genre and space in all the years to come.”
