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.”

The International / Detroit Hip Hop connection

The Detroit Free Press has an interesting sidebar to their recent article on Phat Kat. The Freep has listed Detroit Hip Hop talent who are well received worldwide. They might have done better naming those who don’t do well overseas as several other names could have easily been added.

Here’s the list:

DJ Dez: He’s worked with Slum Village, Lloyd Banks, Truth Hurts, Erykah Badu and Jurassic 5 and is heading to Japan in June to DJ a week’s worth of solo club dates.

Slum Village: Former members include James (Jay Dee) Yancey and Baatin. The rap group, now a duo, has been a longtime favorite on the underground scene, and has had national success but hasn’t reached household-name status. 2005 proved to be a big year for them; they signed on to be pitchmen for the 2006 Chevrolet Impala and 2006 HHR.

Ta’Raach: The producer and DJ is best known for working with other Detroit standouts, including Jay Dee, Dwele, and techno guru Carl Craig.

Big Tone: The founder of Wasted Youth, he’s worked with many of Detroit’s producers and rappers.

Black Milk: He’s one of the city’s rising producers who also raps. He produced tracks for Slum Village’s “Trinity” album and worked on Lloyd Banks’ new album with Detroiters Nick Speed, DJ Dez and Young R.J. In March, the 23-year-old released his major label debut, “Popular Demand,” on the Fat Beats/Sony BMG imprint.

Guilty Simpson: He inked a deal with Stones Throw Records, an L.A.-based label that also recorded music by Jay Dee. People are calling him one of the next great Detroit rappers.

The Black Milk inclusion may be premature at this point but its only a matter of time that he’s an overseas favorite. You can also add DJ House Shoes (coming off a recent European tour), Frank ‘N Dank and to a slightly lesser extent, D12.

The international connection is definitely there as many readers of this site are outside the U.S.A.’s borders (All of Europe and Japan in particular).
