The Hip Hop Chronicle

The legendary duo of Sway & King Tech are on a mission, to find the next biggest thing through the 100k Battle

In partnership with the social website urSession.com, one rapper could potentially be on the verge of success. 

If you head over to urSession.com, and create a artist profile, there are 28 brand new beats you can download. Rappers record the best songs and upload a maximum of three to their profiles, at which point people are free to listen and vote for the songs they enjoy.

The artist with the most votes by the end of the competition gets $5,000, a round-trip ticket to Los Angeles to appear on the Wake Up Show, and all the exposure one can expect from the first, longest-running and most influential hip-hop specialty radio show in the world, which graces the ears of 11 million people in 19 markets across three countries every week, and has been instrumental to the careers of everyone from Eminem to Xzibit 

This is a great opportunity for aspiring rappers. Production of the 28 tracks are from top-shelf producers like Pete Rock, DJ Muggs, 9th Wonder, Rick Rock, Alchemist, DJ Babu, DJ Q-Bert, Evidence, DJ Revolution and the late, great J Dilla.

MTV and Wake Up Show Presenter, Sway said

“And any hip-hop artist that really believes they got what it takes - because everybody believes it, but not everybody’s got it – show and prove, and enter the 100K Battle . Where will you get the opportunity to download this caliber of music from this caliber of producer – for free? And if you can’t create a noise beyond that, with those type of resources, then you might wanna question what it is you’re doing. If you get a beat from J Dilla? The Alchemist? Pete Rock? And you can’t make a hot song outta that - what are you doing? So it’s like, show and prove. Get it poppin.”
