After running its most successful year ever, the "Sucker Free Countdown" is set to launch "Sucker Free Certified," a list of the hottest new artists who are to set to make noise in the coming year.
“It’s a dope episode, what we’re doing is unveiling the future,” DJ Envy says of the Sucker Free Certified launch. “[These are the] artists that we’re stamping, putting behind our backs and really repping for.”

“With the Sucker Free Countdown, we always rep different artists and we’re the first to break a lot of artists and this time we’re really putting our stamp and telling you who’s going to be next for 2012 and 2013,” Envy continues. “This is the first time that we’ve ever done it, so we’re pretty excited about it. Every artist we’ve ever had on the countdown show seemed to be successful and huge, whether it’s Drake or Rick Ross or Meek Mill—we stamped a lot of those artists before the world even saw them, so now we’re putting our stamp. We’re being the A&R. It’s the criteria for what’s hot out there, you’ve got to be poppin’ in the streets, poppin’ on the internet, you’ve got to have buzz.”
