D.J. Easy E of
93.3 The Beat is known throughout the city as a colorful radio personality as well as a strong promoter of local music artists. Heard weeknights from 7-12 p.m., he regularly spins singles from mixtapes of Duval rappers and singers and does in-studio interviews with them in order to help them gain publicity.
Easy E is currently giving local artists yet another promotional opportunity by allowing them the chance to open for
Community Fest 2010 on July 17 at Metropolitan Park. Community Fest, which most of us Duval natives know as Come Together Day, is an annual event held to bring the community together for a day of fun, food, and great music. Past performers have included rappers T.I., Trick Daddy, and Trina, as well as R&B singers Kelis and Pretty Ricky. This year's lineup includes J.T. Money, Ice Berg, Young Cash, and Diamond of Crime Mob.
The deejay has been telling listeners each night on his show to get their best song together and send it to him. He will review them and select the best act, who will open the July 17 show. This is a really great opportunity for some local talent to get serious exposure. So, if you're a local artist and you're still sitting here staring at this page, what are you waiting for? Get your track together and
email it to Easy E. Maybe this time next year, I'll be doing a blog post covering the contract that you've signed with Grand Hustle or Bad Boy. You've gotta dream big to make it big!
