I am keeping my ears open for cover artists as well, don't worry but creating an original song is indeed impressive, especially if executed and performed well. Best of skill and performance to you all next week. This week was filled with so many wonderful artists, even amongst the high amount of entries, and there were still many talented performers who entered, so forgive me if I didn't list you, I definitely heard everyone's entries. Also, be sure to check out the other judges' top picks for the week, @krystle, @soundlegion, @meno, and @luzcypher, who hosts the Open Mic Contest. See you next week!

Artist On My Radar From Week 129

___ @wethepatsies @rogeviolinista @indrameong2 @steevc @paulorenz16 @nahupuku @danieldedosd2 @zeitli @xxxplasticman @dougalporteous ___ **Apparently a lot of people don't know that I, @Verbal-D, am a Hip Hop Emcee as much as I am a singer/songwriter/beat producer, so I will continue to showcase from now on the song that inspired @Luzcypher to create the Open Mic Contest that we are all apart of today. I hope it inspires you to write original music.** https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_L2-H4g3IXk [The Official Steemit Song By @Verbal-D, Feat. @Papa-Pepper & @EdgarStudio](https://steemit.com/music/@papa-pepper/verbal-d-s-the-official-steemit-song-featuring-edgarstudio-and-papa-pepper-music-video) ___
