Schoolboy Q - hoovaq: The TDE rap monster amuses his subscribers by bounding around his LA mansion with his new dog, terrorising his young daughter and providing a peak into the quagmires of touring life. In his most recent snap, he comments on a driver's automobile of choice. "That's the grimiest Mustang of all time."
Dev Hynes - kermitkokomo: Devonte Hynes, aka Blood Orange, films footage of intimate studio sessions, new musical snippets and his general day to day activities in Manhattan. Follow him for an artsy insight into the producer's life and the occasional mind bending dance move.
Twin Peaks - TwinPeaksDudes: The Illinois rockers post frequently with insights into their touring life and general band dynamic. Their latest blurry Snap gives a clear indication of how they like to unwind after shows/rehearsals etc...

Azealia Banks - brujadelbloque: The often outspoken rapper regularly snaps glimpses of backstage shenanigans, vocal warm ups and sneak peaks of music and track listings. Keep your eyes peeled for any snaps concerning feuds with various artists across the popular music sphere.
Chance The Rapper - chancetherapper: The Chicago rapper uses his Snapchat to tease new music, give fans a glimpse of his touring life and showcase his eccentric Social Experiment band mates. A couple of weeks ago, he used the app to reveal news of his mind boggling freestyle album collaboration with the one and only, Lil B.
Frank Ocean - arealglitterboy: The ever elusive singer-songwriter rarely emerges on any social media platform. However, we'd put money on him using this instantaneous app to give desperate fans an indication on the release of his mystery album.
