Have You Seen A-Trak's Justo?

Posted on May 19th, 2008 in Awards by Mr. Goldbar

Speaking of awards…this past April, the winners of the annual Mixtape Awards (aka the Justos, in honor of their founder, the late Justo Faison) were announced at a ceremony in NYC. Lo and behold, right at the top of the list for “Best Canadian Mixtape DJ” was Fool’s Gold’s very own A-Trak. Sharing the winners circle with Khaled, Miami Kaos and Cocaine City DVD Magazine is a memorable moment, to say the least, so of course we want to be able to grab the actual award for Trizzy while he’s touring overseas. Except no one seems to know where to pick it up. If you do, hit us up.

Yeaaahhhhhh! Kid Sister has been nominated for a 2008 BET Award for “Best Female Hip Hop Artist” alongside Missy Elliott, Eve, Lil Mama, and Trina. The full list of nominees can be found here. We’re all beyond proud of our girl, excited to see the winner announced on June 24th, and relieved to know that we can always call Young Buck for backup in case something pops off.

Posted on May 14th, 2008 in Contests > Live by Mr. Goldbar

Anyone who’s ever messaged back and forth with our dude Kid Cudi knows that his tmail game is MAJOR, texting like a Prince song title come 2 life. So it’s fitting that Cudi will be performing at a private launch event for T-Mobile next Tuesday (5/20) alongside Kid Capri and new Star Trak artists Chester French (who do not have kid in their name). You can enter to win VIP passes to the party – along with a new phone! – over at RCRD LBL.
