Def Jam's Sickamore, STMG, Jay Trilogy, Most Potential, and more!
Aspiring artists from Chicago and beyond gathered at Adrianna's last week for The Def Jam Talent Showcase. In attendance were two of the top guns at Def Jam, Sickamore and Tyrone Davis, Jr. As you can tell from the visuals, it was a lot of hot artists that made it out, and a number of artists have gotten opportunities coming out of this event. ProphitChild Paul and KeyzOnaBeat caught up with Sickamore, Tha 808s, STMG, Most Potential, Jay Trilogy, YT, and Make Money for us. A lot of people made some noise, and it was definitely a good look for the city.
This event was the brain child of Urban Intelligence Music Group's Felicia Miller, who brought the city's underground scene a chance to rock for Def Jam's Sickamore and Tyrone Davis Jr., courtesy of Chicago's own No ID, whose accomplishments in hip hop speak for themselves. Mr. Davis, in particular, stressed that he doesn't look for a particular sound or trend, pointing out, "Nobody was 'looking for' Trinidad James. It's not about what a label or A&R is looking for, it's about making good music, then getting on your grind and building a buzz for yourself." Sound advice for artists of all kinds.
Be on the lookout for more events in Chicago and very soon throughout the country from UIMG and 1StopHipHop, this is just the beginning! #ThankMeLater
