Round 1 WINNER

JOHNNY "JP" PARELLI

JP is from Missouri City, Texas, right outside of Houston.

He's 19 and has a flow that's following in the footsteps of Twista's Speedy Gonzalez rhyme skeme. Coming with more than the basement rap we've become so accustomed to hearing lately, JP offers a fresh sound from the South and certainly some fresh talent. If you're looking to contact him, he can be reached on twitter @Johnnyparelli. Look out!

ROUND 3 WINNER:

CHAD FUEGO

CHAD FUEGO is taking home the crown (that sounded mad corny) for Round 3 of the HOTTEST 16! His flow was tight and he had no problem keepin' up with the beat and throwin' punches just like Ricky Ross and Meek Mill.  Chad Fuego is 18. Born, raised, and currently residing in Houston, TX. Follow him at @ChadFuego.
