Pawz One, SaulPaul, International Maverick Advance to Semi-Finals
Last night in Los Angeles, the National Association of Record Industry Professionals (NARIP.com) sponsored the LAMN Jam Urban / Hip Hop Music Contest Round #2 which rocked Skinny’s Lounge with emcees from all over the country including Philadelphia, Atlanta and Chicago. Artists and attendees witnessed live A&R after each performance from talent judges including artist manager / Discmakers West Coast GM Sydney Alston, producer DanielFouché, producer and coach to 21 Grammy award-winners JanLinder–Koda, UndergroundHipHopBlog.com’s Armando Urena, and multi-platinum producer ShakimWilliams. Talent was strong and decisions were tough but SaulPaul, Pawz One, and International Maverick came out on top and advance to the semi-final on Wednesday, August 27 at Skinny’s in LA. Close behind were Tyran Brown, SULLi, Pawz One, and brandontory, but everyone brought a great show!
