Underground/Unsigned Rap/Hip-Hop Artist Opportunity

I thought it would be interesting to present everyone this week with an opportunity within the world of Underground Hip-Hop. In collaboration with Reverbnation.com, many different record labels, concert promoters, event coordinators, etc. provide artists of all genres with opportunity to submit their music via Reverbnation for a chance to be selected for a variety of amazing opportunities. This week I would like to draw attention to a particular opportunity: Unsigned Only Music Competition.

Unsigned Only is unique in the fact that it is a competition open only to Hip Hop, R&B, and Rap artists that are not signed to any major label or any major label's affiliate. This opportunity offers artists great exposure, amazing prizes to be won, and a chance to be heard by a panel of industry-professional judges. The judges include highly recognized names like Kelly Clarkson and Musiq Soulchild! After the judges select the winner is when it truly gets interesting. The grand prize winner will be mentored by a group of record label executives, A&Rs reps and more! This will be an amazing development opportunity for the artist as well as an even more incredible networking opportunity! Imagine getting a chance to work side by side with some of the biggest names in music.

There are other categories as well that artists can compete in and a first and second place winner will be selected from each category. Each first place winner will be given $5,000 and mentoring from relevant industry moguls.

Artists can enter this competition through various online platforms such as Reverbnation.com and Myspace. You can also download the entry form from http://www.unsignedonly.com/enter and submit it via mail. The various online platforms are also linked through http://www.unsignedonly.com/enter . So pass on this opportunity to any artists you may know with a lot of potential. Who knows, it might be the next step to becoming great!

Just a warning, submissions are closing on April 11, 2012! So if your a serious artist looking for your next big break, check out http://www.unsignedonly.com/enter for your chance to enter!
