Big Lou Wins a Record 3 Underground Music Awards

CAMDEN, NJ (By Frank Urban/ Lost City Records) - Rapper Big Lou led the way at the 4th annual Underground Music Awards with an unprecedented 4 nominations and by winning a record 3 awards. Big Lou walked away with the highly sought after "Song of the Year" award for the underground smash "Takin Over." Other categories Big Lou was victorious in included "Best Male Rapper" and "Most Original Male Solo Artist." He was also nominated for "Best Live Performer."

When asked about his huge night, Big Lou stated, "This is not a personal victory by any means. This is a statement that real Hip-Hop and true lyricism in rap will always outlive trends and fads. With all due respect to the shoulder leanings and finger snappin', that's not what true rap is. Nas, Biggie, Pun, Big L, Rakim, Talib Kweli, Jay-Z, Eminem, and all those dudes that can spit with meaning is what real rap is all about. I respect all artists, but I'm here to resurrect the great emcees that passed; and as God is my witness I will continue to carry that torch with respect for this game and continue to represent Hip-Hop the way it was meant to be."

And that he does. Without a single write up in any major publication, or appearances in any DVD series, this Camden veteran has amassed a following that is hard to fathom. With nearly 26,000 fans and over 177,000 plays of his records on Myspace, it appears that the next great true emcee could be from what is known around the country as "The Most Dangerous City in America; Camden, NJ."
