very intresting - I do remember back in the days several clubs did have their own little awards ceremony.

you also had the new york music awards which was around for a couple of years, i went in 1989. over those few years several freestyle artist were nominated and won.

SAFIRE, BRENDA K. STARR, SEDUCTION, COVER GIRLS were among the nominees. i know for sure that SAFIRE won a total of 6 awards.

these awards were covered by the tv networks which gave more exposure to these artists.

to bad it isnt around anymore.

 

[Latin Nation]

Your right

To bad is not like it use, cause there's to much talent out there without being regonize. but Hopefully it will all come again. I know in AMAZURA they did that I think that was about 2 to 3 years ago. Maybe Willie Valentin remenbers that.
