The Annual Mixtape Awards ("The Justos"), in conjunction with the CMJ Music Marathon, presents M-III: The Mixtape Masters Marathon, a 2-stage festival show whose lineup includes some of the most dominant acts in today's mixtape industry. The history of the CMJ Music Marathon is that it has predominantly broken artists in indie rock, but The Annual Mixtape Awards intends on giving these talented acts a platform to display their music and stage performances to the media and industry executives.
This event will be held in Williamsburg, Brooklyn and will be feature several key winners and nominees of the 11th Annual Mixtape Awards. Headlining the show will be the 2008 Justo winner of "Best Underground Artist" and Williamsburg native Joell Ortiz. Also featured will be 2008 Justo winner of "Street Album of the Year", Mr. Crisis. Music will be supplied by 2008 Justo nominees for "Best Underground DJ," DJ Bedtyme357 and DJ J-Ronin.
20+ artists will be performing, both signed and unsigned – including acts such as Grafh (Koch/Black Hand), Ali Vegas (Asylum/Rich Soil), Charles Hamilton (Interscope), and many of the best unsigned MCs in the hip-hop industry today (Skyzoo, Agallah, Nina B, Rain, Sha Stimuli, and countless others).
