Dopetracks Mixtape Gains Support From Top Hip-Hop Artists and Spitkicker Radio

Los Angeles, CA. (Top40 Charts/ Dopetracks) - Emcees Chali 2na, MC Lyte, Mistah FAB and Wordsworth are all lending their voices to Dopetracks.com, a new website for up and coming rappers, singers and producers to showcase their raw talents. When Dopetracks announced plans for a mixtape contest involving its community of aspiring artists, these top hip-hop icons signed on to ensure that the mixtape features only the best undiscovered talent.
Top-rated XM radio show Spitkicker Radio, co-hosted by Wordsworth, quickly joined on as a partner and is a natural fit because of its dedication to the art of hip-hop. The Dopetracks Mixtape Contest will be featured on the show, which airs Saturdays and Wednesdays from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. (EST) on XM Radio Channel 65, The Rhyme.

Winners of The Dopetracks Mixtape Contest will earn a coveted spot on the mixtape and the chance to record at Fonogenic Studios in Los Angeles. Emcees have until Wednesday, November 21 to come to the site and lay down their vocals over specially selected beats. Chali 2na, MC Lyte, Mistah FAB and Wordsworth will serve as judges for the contest and mentors for the winners when they are flown to Los Angeles to record the mixtape tracks.

"We always loved the idea of a mixtape, but we wanted to do something a little different from the traditional format because our site is really focused on collaborations," said Kevin Cohen, Dopetracks' President. "Instead of compiling completed songs from individuals, we will bring together the top producers and emcees to create original songs for a mixtape. It's great that some known hip-hop artists and media outlets have recognized what we're trying to do and are willing to lend us some of their expertise".

Spitkicker president Rene John-Sandy also believes the partnership is a win-win situation.

"Spitkicker collaborating with Dopetracks on this contest is a perfect mesh for finding the top notch emcees and producers. Having Wordsworth as a judge on the panel will only raise the bar on the types of entries that will be submitted and will solidify that the winner of this contest will be a true emcee," he says. "Since Spitkicker.com is a trendsetting, lifestyle website that encompasses top notch emcees, we will definitely compliment and add value to a great contest. It's a no-brainer that this will be a success."

The Dopetracks Mixtape Contest winners will be announced on December 3 and the four winning emcees will be flown to Los Angeles to record at Fonogenic Studios from January 14 to January 21.
