Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
Really can't say I know too much about the Southern Entertainment Awards--well, not much other than that the site hasn't updated its main page since 2007. But the site has updated its voting page more recently--today, in fact, since this marks the start of the voting process in its sixth annual southern hip-hop awards.
As for the nominees? It's mostly inside baseball, boasting names unfamiliar to even the most prudent hip-hop observers. But a couple locals do pop up in the voting:
- Definition DJs, the 70-employee, two-state DJ outfit run by DJ Drop (the man who brought the D-Town Boogie to area clubs) is up for DJ Crew of the Year
- DJ Drop and Tum Tum's collaboration, The Definition of a ZillaNaire, is up for Best Rap Mix of the Year.
You can vote for them here.
Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Dallas with no paywalls.
