DAME GREASE to serve as "Special Consultant of Talent" for the 2008 50 Mics Tournament Challenge

Jan. 17, 2008 - PRLog -- – The 50 Mics Tournament Challenge Artist Search, Take a second and imagine gathering 50 unsigned talents, from 5 different musical categories (Hip Hop, Rock, Reggae, Latin, and R&B), from all around the country, and have them competing tournament style, battling for a chance to be featured on a major label debut. This is the premise behind The 50 Mics Challenge.

The Brainchild of 50 Mics Inc., Jayson "J-Didda" Butler and Kareem Davis The 50 Mic Challenge supplies much needed exposure to today's emerging underground artists. By pitting 250 talented artists and showcasing their abilities in front of the elite executives that the music industry has to offer. 10 will be chosen to create a "mash-up" album of epic proportions. Do not confuse this for a mere showcase, for this is much, much bigger. Utilizing our experience and industry connections we have created a 1 of a kind experience which includes: major touring, merchandising, and full on press. To make this even more exciting, the competition will be filmed and broad casted on Sandbox Television and Hip Hop Uncensored Channels Monthly.
Dame Grease Will Serve as "Special Consultant Of Talent" Mr. Grease's Primary Duties will be to assist the 50Mics staff in choosing competitors as well as Executive Producing the 50MICS Tournament Album. 50MICS chose Dame Grease based on his vast experience shaping and molding not only viable and successful recording artists, but also Hip Hop Icons such as DMX, Swizz Beats and Bad Boy Records to name a few.

The Concept 0f 50 Mics was born as a direct response to the rampant exploitation of the underground artist. Exposure for artist has become big business. "We felt that many talented artist fall between the cracks simply because they are unable to afford many of the various avenues of exposure which exist in today. 50 Mics was founded to be an inexpensive resource for unsigned talent . In many cases real creative people tend to have limited resources and therefore are unable to compete in an over saturated music business. We felt it was time to level the playing field".

from 50 STATES "five" genres of music Rap, Rock, Reggae/dancehall, Latin / Reggaeton and R&B will compete for a chance to be apart of a MAJOR LABEL 50MICS COMPILATION ALBUM and Tour.
