the SDMA acadamy is made up of alot of the bookers and Talent Buyers from Venues like Canes, 710 Beach Club, Belly Up, HOB, Winstons in Ocean Beach etc....to get nominted you have to mail two CD's into the Academy before the deadline, and it was June 30th of this year for the 2008 Awards, prolly gonna be the same for next year...if you cats needs venues...hit up dude named Tim @ 710 Beach Club, Jason Welton @ Rileys in Point Loma..thats my dude and I set that place off throwing shows every friday when he first got the sound system....the Rythm Lounge off Midway in the Sport Arena area can be booked for $50 as long as you promote it yourself....there is alot of venues but they are spread out and there is just so many, and it is true alot of the well known places ain't gonna let us take responsibility for a full night cause they are unsure how it will turn out. Im def gonna slide through on Sunday...40 oz Chris put the Pigeons Camp on the list for the Casbah, and they do throw alot of Hip Hop Shows there....mostly underground shit though...I went to a smashing Jedi Mind Tricks show there a few years back...shit was Bananas....
here is the Music Awards website, so fools can send in there music, and get proper represention in their Genre...

seems to be a trend that MC's are fed up with the lack of coverage in SD, if you check the Access Hip Hop board (
www.accesshiphop.com/forums) which is where alot of the Concious, Boombap, eastcoast type MC's post alot of shit, you would see the same complaints and ideas as here...there is alot of MC's in this city, carving out there spot, but it is so split up...that no one really ever know's whats really going on...
I got info for days...
