My UMA choice for Best Radio Show - Stolen Records on FBi!

June 29th 2007 05:59

shantan wantan ichiban stolen records sunsets fbi 94.5

Vote or Die!

So I'm biased. It's not just because I work with ShantanWantanIchiban that I'm helping him in his campaign to dump toxic radio and vote for his Hip Hop radio show, Stolen Records on Sunsets at FBi 94.5FM (Sydney). It's because I dig the music he plays (well majority of it) but most of all, I like his local and international celebrity and lesser known guests coming into the studio and ripping live solo or battle freestyles, talking about random topics and what not. What really entertains me are the cheap shots, defensive comebacks and outrageous claims.

Shantan Wantan Ichiban: Dump Toxic Radio!!!

Campaigning against cardigans and wack music, SWI insists on dropping records from all kinds of Hip Hop-related or influenced genres, from many different countries. It's good to see a lot of local artists being given exposure on this volunteer-based not-for-profit radio station, who really minimise on the amount of ads they play; to show my support and enthusiasm for this, I signed up as a passionate supporter during their fundraising drive. I turned down the free tickets to 13th Son's show as I had plans for that night, and a free cd which I have access to at work but instead, requested that guest MC NickKnowledge, a friend of mine from good ol' UNSW spit in German about man-boobs. Sorry Nick, that was a tough one, and I would've struggled too.

So to keep this guy on air, keep the great music flowing with all his awesome guests, foghorns and BRAAAAppp BRAAAApppping, vote for Stolen Records at www.urbanmusicawards.com.au. Just look at that e-flyer! Now isn't that enough to sway your vote? To get to know Shantan, listen in on Wednesdays, 6-8pm EST or stream it from the FBi website.

Vote now in the Australia & New Zealand Urban Music Awards 2007!

June 29th 2007 05:09

Only ONE more week people until voting for the 2007 UMAs are closed. Last year the event copped a lot of flack for having really surprising results and IMO, it was a reflection of the lack of reach the UMAs 2006 had. It's funny how people refuse to vote and boycott the Awards, then complain about the results... why do they contribute their opinions at the wrong time? It happens all the time when public voting is concerned.

So take the time to vote if you're really passionate about the industry, music and scene and show your support for the people who you think deserve the recognition. Go to www.urbanmusicawards.com.au and be heard! Oh and for Hiphop.org.au readers, you can win a double pass to the event! Just check the Competitions forum for more details.

Just a note to all the people (there's only a few) who have been having trouble voting and all that jazz, please make sure you click on the verification link in the confirmation email which could possibly end up in your Junk Mail inbox before you start voting, otherwise you can't vote! And to the people who are claiming that its rigged, I am telling you that it is definitely NOT and stop passing judgment so easily.

rhinos urban music awards 2007 win tickets double passes

The Australian and New Zealand Urban Music Awards are back for the second year at Sydney’s iconic, Luna Park on August 14. The awards are shaping up to be one of the hottest nights on the calendar with loads of local and international artists scheduled to attend. The awards night will be held in association with major naming rights sponsor rhino’s energy drink and will also include support from international label, Marc Ecko watches and Xbox 360.

Nominations for these highly anticipated awards include the following nominees: Best Female Artist Jade McRae, Best R&B single ‘5 days of rain’ from Deni Hines and Best New Talent includes New Zealand’s Tyree. The nominees also feature winners from last year’s awards who are hoping to clean up again, the Hilltop Hoods who are nominated for Best Hip-Hop group and Figgkidd who is up for Best Male Artist.

The UMAs are proud to announce a major international sponsor, rhino’s energy drink, who will be the naming rights sponsor of the 2007 UMA’s. rhino’s have a long standing relationship with the Hip-Hop and R&B music scene around the world and see the UMA’s as the perfect alignment for their brand.

The rhino’s Urban Music Awards will be presented by Australia’s Number 1 Saturday Music TV show Eclipse Music TV. The event encompasses the genres of Hip-Hop, R&B and acknowledges both Australian and New Zealand urban artists who are making their mark in this growing industry. The 2007 rhino’s UMA’s have returned to Sydney with a brand new structure, great new venue and completely revised voting system.

‘The result will be a tighter, more dynamic event treated more as a theatrical production than a concert.’ Jade Harley- Event Producer.
