We sat down with rising country singer Renee Blair and up-and-coming artist Reginald Hawkins to chat about what exactly the term "rising star" means to them. What are some important landmarks in an artist's career? How does an artist know they're "breaking"? We also covered some of the hottest new tracks from artists on the rise, including releases from Melii, Example, Dallas Moore, Four of Diamonds and GRACEY.
