It is our pleasure to bring hip hop, and all music genre fans from all over to... The Televised Manifesto:Artist Showcase, B-Boy Battle, and DJ Battle which debuted February 26, 2009 and held the first Saturday of each month at UTMTV Studio Atlanta. Since the first air date Manifesto has made it a point to be a launching pad for talented artists in Atlanta, and went on a nationwide tour in 2010 which will continues this year from January through November following DUB Magazine’s Car Show. Our televised tour will be in 14 cities grasping the Hip Hop scene in each, and giving what we find to the world every time. We organized this event to include 6 major elements of hip hop: Knowledge, Fashion, Freestyle, DJing, MCing, and B-Boying (Breakin'). It’s all here for you to be informed and entertained!
Manifesto currently airs on 19 public access channels nationwide, and has been featured on The CW with over 700,000 viewers. This celebration of Hip Hop show is competitive and educational experience that focuses on helping independent, and up & coming artists promote, network, and gain business information necessary to succeed in the music industry. Some of the most talented acts in the world are unsigned and virtually unknown. In the past, ultra-talented performers have gleaned listeners primarily through live performances and mp3 distribution. The goal is to develop a loyal fan base through a grassroot, word of mouth style marketing plan. The key to success is talent, not gimmick. Original quality music and unique riffs are the rule, not the exception. Listeners can quickly lose interest. The artists that add “stage presence” to a sellable sound will quickly generate followers and the recording industry is starting to take notice!
We are excited to introduce an extra additive to this artist showcase; both the DJ and B-Boy battle are
highly anticipated. Make no mistake, to learn the art is one thing, to develop a winning strategy is another, but to stand on stage before hundreds of fans, knowledgeable judges and a camera team in your face takes nerves of steel and real courage.
We chose to cover all aspects of Hip Hop, from artists and producers, to DJs and Club life from Hip Hop fashion, to Hip Hop business; for the goal of showcasing and strengthening Hip Hop Culture. We will give relevant info regarding new independent music, radio, TV, and the newest hook ups with kicks and clothes on our page and at each event. Although everyone is making their own noise, and creating their own stars it’s not all just for fun! We are giving competitors a chance at the title, respect and prizes that include: Cash, Photo shoots, televised interviews, promotional t-shirts, free studio sessions, magazine reviews, and many more sponsored giveaways. A significant amount certainly worth fighting for!
Televised Manifesto: Artist Showcase, B-Boy Battle, and DJ Battle provides competition, recognition and exposure along with entertainment and fun. What a great way to perfect your craft, launch a career, and enjoy new friends!
