Hey yo...

If you haven't seen by now, the nominees for the Westword Music Showcase have been announced and the voting polls are now open. Support local hip-hop by voting and if you feel like someone got snubbed, let us know here or you can write some names in on the ballot.

How does the showcase nomination process work? Well there's a committee of like 100 folks in the local music scene. Promoters, talent agents, artists, club/bar owners, writers, etc. Of course no one is allowed to nominate any crew they're in or affiliated with. All those nominations are lined up with the Westword editors' choices and those with the most nominations get on the ballot.

Then fans, friends, and family vote for the artists on the ballot and the that's how the winners are decided.

Leave your thoughts on the nominees and also the music...

"Broken Glass" - Mr. J Medeiros (produced by Boonie Mayfield)


"Heartbeat" - FOE


"Never Seen" - Made Fresh Daily


"Can't Hold Me Down" - D-A-Dubb

Hey yo,

If you guys are free Monday night (April 13), I'll be "DJing" (meaning, playing songs from my iPod... LOL) as part of the Westword vs. Westword night at Larimer Lounge (2721 Larimer St.). There's no cover and the night starts around 9pm. I don't know when I'll be going on and I have no idea what I'm going to play... but local hip-hop will probably find its way onto the playlist...
