Hip-Hop Artists Wanted Scion is seeking contestants for the 2008 Hypeman Contest, aimed at discovering the quintessential hip-hop master of ceremonies. “Aside from DJs, producers, and MCs, an often overlooked aspect of live hip-hop is the back-up MC and party host, commonly referred to as the Hypeman. Are you hype? You got the skills and knowledge to capture mass appeal? Can you get the party crackin’? Then submit a video, DVD, or CD that shows your Hypeman skills.” SEEKING: FEMALE or MALE (18 and over) - Video entry should exemplify entrant’s skills as a Hypeman, “a performer responsible for backup singing (giving the lead vocalist time to catch his or her breath), as well as providing comic relief and increasing audience excitement and participation with call-and-response chants.” CASTING DETAILS To apply, complete and mail an entry form and a one to 30-minute video by Nov. 15 to the following address: Beyond Marketing Group, LLC, 17500 Red Hill Ave., Ste. 230, Irvine, CA 92614, Attn: Hypeman Contest Entry For complete rules and regulations and to apply, visit https://www.scion.com/hypeman.
