Posetd April 7th - The Main Event is coming!!!! Canada's hottest Emcee Battle Happening July 1st

The Main Event is a platform offering unsigned talent an opportunity to compete for a recording contract in the art of battling. An improvisational form of rapping performed with few or no previously composed lyrics, which is said to reflect a direct mapping of the mental state and performing situation of the artist. It is non-scripted, non-rehearsed, uncut, and the rawest form of hip-hop. Artists will often refer to places and objects in their immediate setting. Freestyle rapping forces an individual to think on the spot, describe his or her surroundings, and, to a certain degree, rap uncensored from what is inside. It is similar in this sense to improvisational music or acting and draws comparisons to improvisational Jazz in particular.

With a solid marketing network, contact base of 100,000 people as well as distribution available to more than 250 Canadian retail stores such as HMV, Music World or Indigo/Chapters, Cigah music is offering a recording contract to the winner.

Cigah music is now accepting submissions from unsigned artists from across Canada where only eight finalists will be selected and receive travel/hotel accommodations as well as spending money to square off  on stage July 1st 2007 (Canada Day) to wear the crown of Canada’s premier emcee.

Submissions:
Applicants are to submit their best battle rhyme(s) over an instrumental on compact disc lasting anywhere between one and three min long, along with 8x10 black and white photos as well as a brief biography about themselves. If you have all of this ready, and converted to mp3 with web ready photos you can also submit your stuff online to info@cigahmusic.com

Submission deadline is June 1st 2007 midnight.
