This year top tips include British singer Tanya Lacey, a new band called Lawson, a Bristol-based producer who goes by the name Redlight, L Marshall who worked with Wretch 32 in 2011, a lively new girl group from London Stooshe and a big new single from the US rapper Lloyd, who despite being around for a few years could be making a huge return to the chart in 2012.
