[FEATURE]: 2012 BEST RAP FEMALE @LUMINAUGHTY1 x "I MADE IT" (VIDEO)

Whether you like her name or not, you cant resist the talent and beauty of one of Carolina's rising female artists. Lumi'Naughty is super sweet and on July 15 she took home the award for Best Hip Hop Female in the 2012 Carolina Music Awards. (I figured putting "Rap" instead of Hip Hop would get more attention.) I've bumped into a bunch of "who is she" and "she came out of no where" convo's and I just laugh. See, if you actually pay attention to this indie industry around here, instead looking for something new to hate, you would've been heard of her before. Hell, I've heard of her but never seen her perform live.

I eventually came across this video, produced by DK Films, and got the best of both. Her performing and it's a great song. It's rare to come across a good song and good video these days when it comes to someone I actually want to feature. The coolest thing is she served in the Marine's AND she does some modeling. #salute Read more about her and her rise to the top in one of the South's most controversial markets HERE.

Congrats @JManifestNC @YoungDirt @Mic_Rose1 & @AshleyMarShell x 2012 Carolina Music Awards

Wet Set & CMA Coordinator, Super O

Relax, no need to gossip. This year I am not here to talk about how bad the beer was or criticize an evening at one of many of North Carolina's Award shows. In fact, my physical presence wasn't in attendance but I mos def had eyes in the building. At first  wasn't going to write on this, but the past couple weeks have been quite interesting. The top winners were all people I've recently co-signed and featured/interviewed- not to mention FINALLY getting a picture with the one and only Super O.

First off, big up to my producer, my big brother & mentor Manifest for bringing home 2012 Producer of the Year. Told you it was coming home to M.E. Music Works!

Big shout out to Young Dirt for Best Male Artist!! He has a great team and his management's radio show sponsors this website! I JUST did a feature on him HERE for his "Rising Fame".

Hug shout out to Mike Rose for Best New Artist, I told yall he was going to get it. I told you all to watch out for this dude. He is a problem. I also JUST recently featured an article on him last week. Check out the article and his music HERE.

Finally a super big shout out to my girl Ashley MarShell for Best R&B singer!! This girl can "sang"!

In conclusion, the 2013 Awards are already being setup. I heard the Budweiser sponsor sign on the projector was bigger this year. Maybe my media presence will finally grant me an official invite to come blog and broadcast live from the Awards. I mean, EVERYBODY cant wait to hear what I have to say about any Award show in the South East. Especially in NC. Now i'm going to be social media observing to catch quotes from the "loosers" mouths.

Remember, media & press MAKE an artist. Don't question HOW anyone won. Ask yourself WHY didn't you win? Media always wins, whether the Carolina Music Awards or the Grammys. Do your research! See you 3rd Qtr 2013!
