Congrats to Phat Kat and the Subterraneous Crew

Phat Kat and Subterraneous both were chosen as winners in Real Detroit’s “The Real Best of Detroit 2007″ awards.

This is what they said about their choices:

Best Rap/Hip-Hop Solo Artist: Phat Kat
He might be on a label outta San Francisco now, but Phat Kat keeps Motown close to his heart — and based on your votes, it appears you heads keep him close to yours. (Even though about half of you wrote “Fat Cat,” we still counted ‘em.)

Best Rap/Hip-Hop Group: Subterraneous
Of course, Detroit is known for rap — 8 Mile and all that, but you guys know better than to sleep on the ‘Yak. The Pontiac/Detroit label/crew known as Subterraneous (Records) keeps hitting new heights with their conscious lines and smooth, yet passionate, flows. More than a crew or label, Subterraneous is, as they say, a movement.

    Frank N Dank and some Detroit Hip Hop History

    This is a great video put out by Needilworks to promote Frank N Dank’s Xtended Play Ver 3.13.
    Its starts with some Detroit history that leads up to the flourishing of Detroit Hip Hop as well as the origins of Frank N Dank. From there we get some great footage of the duo as well as Dilla, a timeline of the group’s career, all leading up to the then upcoming release of Xtended Play.

    Slum Village and Chevy team-up to produce child safety video

    It might seem like Slum Village have been out of the spotlight for a good minute but you can be sure that thats not the case. SV is known to always be on the move tour wise in North America or Europe but lesser known is their involvement with General Motors.

    SV and General Motors came to an agreement before the release of the Slum Village album to cross-promote their products. Radio and television commercials featuring SV’s “Ez Up” were playing in Detroit and elsewhere as a part of GM’s “American Revolution” campaign.

    Elzhi and T3 have once again been recruited by the hometown folks at GM to produce a child safety song and video for Chevorlet/Chevy. According to the article the song and video will be made available through a cd and downloads distributed by Safe Kids Worldwide.
