End of 2010

Hey all, so what a fucking crazy year we have had. I won't make you all read my rant about what I did so I'll get to the point. I have gone through everything I could find and picked out some small awards, as I don't have any money (nobody can seem to find that donate button) I haven't got any prizes for anybody. The best I can do is let you stare at this half naked dude statue so here goes.

 

Perth Underground Awards 2010

Top Album: Chekid & Corext - Champion Music

 This was a solid release that stood out with excellent promotion, a great launch and quality tunes (Dialekt came close with his album Illest Never Heard).

Champion Music on Triple J Unearthed

Top Mixtape: DT - Contagious Mixtape

This tape was absolute fire. It was hosted by DJ Symphony and was full of sick rhymes over some non hip hop beats. There were a couple of others that came close (A.Ford, JaeLan, Complete and Knoe FM) but Contagious stood out the most.

Check out DT

Top Artist: Dialekt

Dialekt was probably the most underrated and best performing Perth hip hop artist of this year. Not only did he release a free album "Illest Never Heard" he went over to LA and proved that Perth had what it takes to stand out in the world Hip Hop scene. Dialekt has collaborated with a few local artists this year and everybody that he has featured for would agree that he is easily one of the best.

People's Champ: Rico (Green Gross Productions)

I think if anybody in the Hip Hop community of Perth gets forgotten about it is Rico. Rico has been putting on Mixtape Tuesdays (Dopest event in Perth Hip Hop) at The Newport every month and hosting all of the battles in Perth. He is easy to get in touch with and will always give somebody a shot. If you see him out buy him a beer coz I said so!

 Top Beat Maker: Ta-Ku

Enough said, I think the Beat Down 3 is all people need to see this. I'd say someone else will take this prize next year though, some damn fire beats in Perth these days.

Top Track: SHROOMZone - More More More

I don't know about you but I nearly came in my pants when I heard this joint. Can't wait for an album to come out.

If you guys can think of any more awards for next year feel free to send them through. I only based my awards on things that were posted here on Perth Underground so if you feel like you should have got the award you should have sent me stuff to put up here. BTW none of these should really be taken that seriously as I hold basically no clout when it comes to the Australian Music Industry.

Cheers,
