The CORE DJ'S RETREAT VI (RECAP)

If you missed the CORE Retreat, you are not taking you music career seriously. PERIOD! The 6th CORE DJ Retreat was held in Miami from March 15-18th. There the most influential DJ Coalition gathered to reacquaint with old friends while record labels were there to break new music. HipHopFriends was on hand to cover the events, cement their relations, acquire promo drops, recruit DJ for their broadcast HipHopFriendsOnline and distribute "Jump Drives".

The CORE DJ Coalition is the brainchild of Tony Neal from Milwaukee. He created the CORE DJs 4 years ago to preserve the craft of DJing and raise awareness that, without the DJ/ Radio connection, record labels can't get music to the people. The CORE members consist of the top record breakers, radio programmers, mix tape and street DJ in the country. They have even gone international with CORE Latino and have a model agency The CORE Models Worldwide.

During this year's well publicized retreat, major players like Bad Boy, Atlantic and Universal all held open bar listening suites parties. These events took place in Downtown Miami and along the infamous Ocean Drive. DJs got a chance to here new music from Fabulous, Bobby Valentino, Chingy and more. The after party @ SoBeLive included performances by Paul Wall, 8Ball MJG, B.O.B and Twista. The last night was capped off with an award presentation to honor DJ and radio personnel that made a difference in the music industry. New York native MIMS also made an appearance during the ceremony.

If you an artists, record label, manager or just a "Wannabe", don't miss the next retreat. Your music can't get hear with out the CORE behind you! For more information on the CORE DJs visit CORE DJs Website

HipHopFriends Supports Southern Hip Hop DJs @ Southern Entertainment Awards

In other SEA news, the largest to date, had taken place in the biggest Casino between Vegas and Atlantic City, Tunica Mississippi. On the beautiful Harrahs Family owned property, The Grand Casino, set the perfect venue for Southern Hip Hop Stars and the finest Mix Tapes DJ to converge and celebrate HIP HOP. The surrounding states of Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Texas, Florida, The Carolina and Georgia just to name a few came to award the DJ for keeping Hip Hop Alive!

The 4th Southern Entertainment Awards highlighted the accomplishments of the top DJ's, Producers, Recording Artists, Labels, Websites, Retail Stores, Models and Clothing companies in the SOUTH. The New Yorkers, Among Friends Records and HipHopFriends™ came to show their support for Southern Hip Hop as official sponsors of this Years SEA. The three-day festive include parties, meet-n-greets and panels moderated by Wendy Day of the Rap Coalition. Other panelist included Mike "5000" Watts of Swisha House, Devin Steele K97 Memphis, Ray Hamilton of LOD DJ's and Feygens Saint-Joy of HipHopFriends™. Topics included Radio, Marketing, Making an Impact and The Digital Frontier. On the Digital Frontier Panel Feygens was quoted as saying "There are many revenue streams on the web, from Advertising, Downloads, Ring tones and Licensing. "Take advantage and become your own Web Publisher." The Hip Hop world has become digital these days. With new technology such as digital turntables called "Serato™", USB Drives called "Jump Drives" the infamous "MP3" that DJs now prefer, the music industry is set for changes. Attendees of the SEA were immersed in a wealth of valuable information.

On another notes Among Friends Records recording artists the E&J Blood Brothaz headlined the stage and performed during the events showcase. As sponsors and vendors, HipHopFriends™ provided goodie bags; exchange services with artists and labels and distributed "Jump Drives" to the best DJ's. HipHopFriendsOnline.com recruited DJ to broadcast online as well.  Another recording artist from Among Friends Records B-Locks made appearances for press junket such as Pitch Black DVD, MemphisRap and more.

They were many winners at the Southern Entertainment Awards and no losers. Hip Hop won that day. The Award Show was caped off with a concert of some other the South's up and comers like Tum Tum, Trae, Kiotti and Jody Breeze. Next year is already gearing up to be the biggest Hip Hop Award Show ever. For More information visit  http://www.southernentawards.com.com
