Becky G – Artist to Watch in 2013

Now that Nicki Minaj is going to be keeping herself busy on 'American Idol,' there's plenty of room for another cute female rapid fire rhyme spitter on the scene.

Enter Becky G., whose features with Cher Lloyd, will.i.am and Cody Simpson, as well as her amazing remixes and covers of the Throne's 'Otis' and Kesha's 'Die Young,' give her an air of being both insanely talented and wise beyond her 15 years. The petite prodigy has both a steady rap flow as well as a winning sing-song style in her hooks that makes her irresistible to your ears.

Signed to Dr. Luke's label, Becky G. -- short for Gomez (she even resembles Selena a bit) -- is poised to make quite an impact in 2013. She wants to work with Justin Bieber and already has a glowing endorsement from Simon Cowell. If she can win over that cantankerous Brit, she can surely win over anyone!
