Detroit Hip Hop’s best to be honored tonight
Adam Graham of the Detroit News has written about tonight’s Detroit Hip Hop Awards show.
Killa Kaunn, K-Deezy and Marv Won are among those nominated for this year’s Detroit Hip-Hop Awards, which will be handed out tonight at Plan B in Detroit.
The show, now in its fifth year, aims to celebrate and reward the brightest and best in the Detroit hip-hop community.
“It’s an event that says, ‘We recognize what you’re doing. Maybe others don’t, but we do,’ ” says Mike “Money Mic” Matkin, who along with DJ Knice co-founded the event in 2003.
Awards will be handed out in almost 20 categories, including Song, Album and Video of the Year fields. Performers include Trick Trick, Tone Tone, Guilty Simpson, Black Milk and more. Phat Kat will be receiving the Detroit Recognition Award, a top honor that in previous years has gone to Proof, DJ House Shoes and Eminem’s manager, Paul Rosenberg.
The awards themselves are voted on by visitors at detroithiphop.com, which Matkin runs.
Matkin says he hears from nominees that the recognition from the awards show gives them the fuel they need to pursue their hip-hop dreams on a larger scale.
“It gives them that boost so they can say, ‘I’m doing what I should be doing,’ ” he says. “It’s not a Grammy, but it’s a Detroit Grammy.”

Caltroit update from Black Milk
Black Milk updates us on everything going on in his world in his latest HipHopGame.com journal entry.
He covers doing shows in Cali and NY to touring in Europe and his plans on doing a show in Toronto, Canada.
Most intriguing is his news on his upcoming Caltroit project with Aftermath’s Bishop Lamont:
The status of the Caltroit album right now is that we’re trying to get it done so we can at least put it out by October. We have Ras Kass, Royce da 5’9”, Kweli, Pharoahe Monch is coming in, Slum Village, Phat Kat and Busta Rhymes. There are a lot of people. The songs are coming together nicely. We should be wrapping it up in a minute. I’m not focusing on any other projects right now. I’m focusing on Caltroit right now and I’m real confident in how the shit came out.
