Ohio Hip Hop Awards Hits Columbus

After spending 5 years in it's birthplace of Cleveland, OH, the Ohio Hip Hop Awards makes it's way to the capital city Columbus. In it's sixth year, the Ohio Hip Hop Awards is still growing and polishing it's image while gaining a strong voice and influence on the Ohio music scene. This year seems to be a big deal, with a red-carpet ceremony scheduled at COSI to be coupled with an industry conference. 

This is a great look for the Ohio Hip Hop Awards as well as for Columbus artist. It gives local artist as well as the national artist who live here more stake and "buy" into the whole Ohio Hip Hop Awards movement. 

Kingsrowe will definitely be there to support the event, not to mention that there are several Columbus artist and organizations nominated for awards this year. With performances from Copywrite, The 3rd and Kim Joyce, Columbus will be in full force at the Ohio Hip Hop Awards this year. 

Being in the center of Ohio will hopefully draw more attendees than usual and foster more of a concentrated support system from artist and fans a like. 

On Sunday there will be a "Learn to Earn" event that will feature representatives from some of the hip hop industries most notable establishments including The Source Magazine, XXL Magazine, HipHopDX.com, in addition to a few major labels. 

Hopefully, this is the beginning of the formation of a united front for the Ohio music scene. Not that everyone should jump on a song together, but that we can at least respect each other's craft and realize that we are all shooting for the same goal, to make Ohio a serious player in the music industry.
