Okkkk....
soooooooo...the
OFFICIAL BALLOT for the
2012 Ohio Hip Hop Awards has been released!!! I don't know about you...but I'm first off
excited for all the
amazing nominees, and next I am
super excited...about finally being able to sleep again. Im pretty sure that most of
Cleveland... if not all of
Cleveland has been losing major sleep, thinking about this years
nominations! The
OHHA is in its 7th year as
Cleveland's most anticipated event. The
OHHA is not only about
presenting awards to the
most outstanding artists. The
OHHA is an event where the
most talented individuals and
groups are recognized for their
excellent talents and
skills in their craft. If you are from
Cleveland you automatically know that when the
OHHA season starts to roll around...
sh*t gets real. I don't care who you are...if you have
pushed music, or
shown ya face in a video,
produced,
managed,
blogged, or
performed...deep inside
you have a lil feeling of "oohhh....I hope I get nominated". Sometimes people
try and act "hard", or
nonchalant..like
"yooo...it's whatever man, I don't care if I get nominated". Sure it may not be that big of a deal to some, but if you have been
working hard, I'm talking about
straight grinding all year round...what have you been doing it for? I hope not for your damn self. Wouldn't you
want your music, or
talent to be
seen,
heard, and
respected by
others than just yourself. Admit it....
we all appreciate recognition when it's deserved. That's what the
OHHA are about. The day of the
OHHA Press Conference, twitter and
Facebook were blowing up. Sure there were a few technical difficulties, that's to be expected tho....but even though there was almost a 1hr delay, we all were
glued to the live ustream waiting to
hear the winners of the showcases, and
official ballot nominees. As usual once the
nominations were posted...you could almost hear the 3 way calls, texts, tweets etc. Whenever there is
competition, there will always be people that may feel like they were jipped, or robbed of something that they felt they deserved. In the end...
just be happy for those
artists that were nominated. You
shouldn't feel discouraged if your name is not on the ballot. Take this time to
work on building your fan base, and
perfecting your craft. Hell the
OHHA even
has an award for
"most improved". That category alone shows you that
hardwork and
dedication does not go unnoticed. Even if your not nominated the
OHHA is still the
BIGGEST EVENT OF THE YEAR!!! Everyone and their mama
(*plz make sure your mamas do NOT pull a Mama Scrappy at the party ok *headroll finga snap) will be in attendance at the
OHHA in
Columbus. Not only will the
OHHA be
presenting awards, but it's an awesome time to
network with A&R's from record labels. There will be
seminars and
panels that will be
educating you on the do's and don'ts of the industry. What better place to network than at an event where
everyone who is anyone will be in the same place, at the
Same Damn Time! The
OHHA is an
awesome event to
perform, but it's an even
better event to
soak up all the industry knowledge. Make sure you are ready to
walk the red carpet. The
OHHA has stressed that everyone
must come "funeral fresh"!!! No sneakers or athletic wear...
*old school heads please avoid Fubu jumpsuits, Sean John jean fits, and no...tall-t's!!!! Got it!! I can't wait to see everyone in
Columbus! It's gonna be
INSANE!!!! Make sure you get your tickets ASAP!
Good Luck to all the nominees!!! And don't forget to
VOTE for your favorite category and artist!!!
XOXO
