Hottest unsigned hip-hop and R&B talent click here!XM and MySpace announced the launch of “Show Us What Ya Got!” – a US coast-to-coast online search for the hottest unsigned hip-hop and R&B talent. Aspiring artists are encouraged to submit their original song for the opportunity to perform at The Mix Show Power Summit, the industry’s premier event, in October, where one grand prize winner will receive a mix tape created in coordination with a high profile DJ, on-air XM appearance and more.

Visit the XM MySpace site at http://www.myspace.com/xm to review contest details, and enter their original song with the opportunity to become the next hip-hop star. All entries for the competition must be submitted between now and August 31, 2007.

The entries will be reviewed by a panel of judges comprised of music editors and industry artists who will select five finalists and post their entries on the XM MySpace community page for open voting.

Video blogs will be posted regularly, featuring advice and trends in the urban music industry from DJ Enuff, founder of Heavy Hitters DJs; Rene McLean, chief executive officer of The Power Summit; and Bryan Leach, senior vice president of Urban J Records and president of Polo Grounds Music. Video blogs with behind-the-scenes advice on hip-hop and radio industry will also be available by on-air talent from XM’s urban channels, including: Mz. Kitti, DJ “Funkregulata” Celo and DJ Furious Styles from RAW (XM 66), XM’s uncensored hip-hop channel; Lisa Lisa, Tiff Square, and Nina Nine from The City (XM 67), XM’s hip-hop and urban channel. Members from the MySpace community can then view blogs and vote for their favorites among the top five finalists.

Three finalists will then be selected for superstar treatment, including a free trip to The Power Summit, held Oct. 24-27 in the Dominican Republic, to perform for an intimate audience of the top record industry elite and biggest DJs in the country. Past performers include Kanye West, Eminem, 50 Cent and Alicia Keys. Leo G, program director for XM’s RAW channel, will be among the panel of on-site judges to watch the performances, provide on-the-spot commentary and award a grand prize finalist. The live performance will be broadcast live on the XM MySpace community page reaching MySpacers around the globe.

    I’ve signed up for the Trial today - it’s working out well so far but whether I’ll hand my money over at the end I don’t know. There are too many free music sources on the net at the moment - you know?
