Shiekh Music's Rip The Mic Tour presented by Reebok is a multicity talent search to discover the best, unsigned Hip Hop and R&B artists.
The tour, hosted by rapper/songwriter Taj Mahal will make stops in five cities to audition hundreds of talented artists.
Auditions will be held on October 1st at Greenspoint Mall in Houston, October 8th at Boulevard Mall in Las Vegas, October 15th at Hilltop Mall in Oakland, October 22nd at Northgate Mall in Seattle, and October 29th at Westfield Culver City Mall in Los Angeles.
The top finalists chosen by judges Ghost Kasen (music producer), Saleemah E. Knight (choreographer), radio station djs/personalities from 97.9 The Box (Houston), Hot 97.5 (Las Vegas), 106 KMEL (Oakland), Power 106 (Los Angeles), and Universal Music Group label reps will advance to the grand finale in Burbank, CA for the chance to compete and win the grand prize on November 12th. Two winners (one R&B and one Hip Hop) will win a marketing deal with Reebok, sponsorship and performance opportunities powered by Shiekh Music, artist and music promotions by Yo! Promotions, and more.
"We at Yo! Promotions are proud to be a part of the Rip The Mic Tour. To partner and work with established companies like Shiekh Shoes and Reebok is a great deal for us. Yo! Promotions is known for supporting and introducing new talent with our outstanding marketing and promotion services so we are looking forward joining the Rip The Mic Tour as an official sponsor."
Last year's winners, Nino Magzoon (Hip Hop category) and A.D. (R&B category), went on to become the regional face of Reebok's Fuze 1.0 footwear collection and have appeared in numerous national and regional print and in-store advertising campaigns. In addition, they've toured performing at Shiekh Music concerts and events. Currently finishing their EP with singles set to drop in October, Nino Magzoon and A.D. have been in the studio with producers including Ghost Kasen (Ja Rule, Ashanti, MTV's Making The Band), Shomari "Shonuff" Wilson (Ne-Yo), Bay Area power house Cozmo and Belgium superstar producers, The Bionix.
"Rip The Mic is a vehicle to help unsigned artists gain exposure and get their music out to the people," says Creator and Executive Producer, Dae Bogan. "Even if they don't win, the experience and the connections they make are beyond valuable. Our 2009 season was fun and exciting; we learned a lot about the potential of RTM and are very happy with the winners. This season," he continues, "we've turned it up a notch. We've added more cities, the prize is bigger and the competition will be tougher. I'm looking forward to a crazy eight week tour with thousands of talented artists."
