The initial intentions were to have "No" artist perform at this event, but rather have other "Freestyle Themed" entertainment that all the artist could enjoy. A sort of tribute to their own success and achievements.There were more than enough really cool presentations that would easily fill the night. But then the phones started ringing, mostly from managers who saw a rare opportunity for their

Click The Button AboveSo, the Vote Now button is up! But what is this vote button actually for? Well, for those who aren't aware, there are a lot of Freestyle Artist in the country. From Miami to Los Angeles, New York to Dallas, while many had thought Freestyle was long gone, new artist continued to hit the scene year after year.Many people consider Freestyle an 80's genre, and while it might

Over the last few years, merchandising has become an important move for the Freestyle industry. Not only as a way for artist to generate extra revenue at their shows, but more importantly, as a tool to help preserve the name and likeness of the artist in the minds of their fans once the event is over.Like all genres of music, true fans want to own a part of it. Whether it be a Tee Shirt, Cap, CD

After securing the Orchestra, another problem would arise. What in the world can we use to complement a forty piece orchestra? Latif's method of throwing in the most absurd and off the wall ideas, pushed the brainstorming phone session between he and Ovidio into the wee hours, until both men decided to call it a night and continue the next day.Latif says "If you go to sleep with a problem on your

Who remembers when the Winter Music Conference was all Freestyle? When you walked around the pool side of the then Fontaine Bleau Hotel and met up with the entire Freestyle community. From artist new and old, producers, writers, promoters, agents, labels, radio stations and DJs, it was a very exciting time. We tried this year to possibly bring Freestyle back to the WMC but we were just a bit late

With ticket prices at just $35.00... You better hurry!They said we were crazy, but actually keeping the price as reasonable as we can is probably one of the best ideas for this event. The Freestyle market didn't make it to where it's at just because of the artist. The fans had a lot to do with it, a whole lot, and to show our appreciation, we are keeping the price of these tickets very very

When was the last time you heard your favorite Freestyle songs composed, conducted and performed by a professional orchestra? Well when Freestyle Awards Producer Latif Mercado thought of putting together the first ever Freestyle Music Awards, he knew it had to be more than just different, it had to be spectacular. It had to represent Freestyle in a light unheard and unseen of ever before. After

Original Trophy Design Sketch 1We wanted a trophy that would represent Freestyle today. A typical stock trophy wouldn't do. We wanted to show the Freestyle Market that we cared enough about it to have something personally designed.The La' logo might seem a bit bias, but it represents an organization that has been working endlessly to revitalize the Freestyle market.Original Trophy Design Sketch
