Again, no real surprises with the winners here. Although this year's nominees certainly seemed a little more in tune with the genre.

Rap/Hip Hop Recorded Song of the Year:
"Do Yo Thang" by KJ-52

Rap / Hip Hop Album of the Year:
Ordinary Dreamers, Group 1 Crew

Check out all the winners here.

Lecrae also Tweeted from the show. Read his message here along with a pic of him and wifey at the awards.

Videos: Tre9 in England / Syntax PB&J Party

New vids for your viewing pleasure.

Numero Uno:

My man Tre9 has been in Rotherham, England for the last two weeks doing some mission work and e-mailed me links to this clip taken at a show by a kid with a cellphone camera. It ain't kind of stage and sound you'll get at this year's All Eyes On Me Awards, but it'll do.

Check out the new beat behind "Put Your Hands Up" (I think this is the third or fourth track I've heard under these lyrics) and Mark J getting jiggy in the background.



Numero Dos:

Honestly, I've never been one to cut for PB&J, but I might've had to down a sloppy sandwich or two at the Syntax Records Peanut Butter & Jelly Party had I made it up to Ca$hville, TN during GMA Week. Here's a recap.

These boys from Sackcloth crack me up.

2008 GMA Award Winners - No real surprises

No real surprises here (based on the organization's past) for categories of interest to the HHH-fan except for the fact that Toby Mac (who has roots in the genre via dc talk and Gotee Records) won Artist of the Year.

List of winners

Rap/Hip Hop Recorded Song of the Year

"Name Droppin'"; Bone-Appetit Servin" Up Tha Hits; T-Bone; Rene F. Sotomayor, Teak Underdue, Dee Underdue; Flicker Records

Rap/Hip Hop Album of the Year

Group 1 Crew; Group 1 Crew; Christopher Stevens, Andy Anderson; Fervent Records

(They have Grits listed underneath this one too but I assume it is a mistake. Probably a bad "cut-n-paste" from the list of nominees.)

It's a shame that LA Symphony couldn't get their "One Dove."
