New England Urban Music Awards

Charles Clemmons Jr. is the founder of the New England Urban Awards show, First Choice Limousine Service, and a DJ service.  He is currently the owner of the radio station TOUCH 106 FM, an urban run radio station called “The Black Fabric Of The Community”.  He came up with the idea to start his own award show 5 years ago with the concept of bringing artists together to network and showcase their talents, and get to the next level in the music industry.

The New England Urban Music Awards show is considered the Grammys of Boston where the red carpets are rolled out, and everyone is considered a star.  During the event artists gather together to celebrate who was honored every year for their hard work in the city.  There are over 30 categories of music to name a few R&B, Rap, Gospel, Jazz etc.   

Every year a different theme is chosen to acknowledge music, last year they did a tribute to New Kids On The Block, this year the theme will be a Tribute To Women In Music.  The show is going to be very exciting we have two female groups performing, female group” Jada” signed to Universal-Motown and new female  pop sensation “New View”. 

Other guest performers Status Quo Boston’s Own American Best Dance Crew finalist's who happen to be good friends of mine.  Last year a young lady by the name of Lilah, an 11-year old female rapper graced the stage with her phenomenal performance.   This year she has been nominated for two awards, Female Rapper, and her single CD “I’m So Fly.  She is by far the youngest female rapper going up against older female rappers for an award this week.

I had the opportunity to ask a few friends what their thoughts were about the award show that was coming on Saturday April 30, 2010, Donstress  and Maestro  Zoom who have also been nominated for their single CD "American Dream" at this years award show said, “We are looking forward to the show”, and they also said “We can’t wait to see who win the awards this year”.  Joy Singletary from Roxbury Massachusetts said, “I’m very excited my boyfriend is nominated for Caribbean Male of the year.  She also said, “I hope he takes an award home this weekend.  When I asked my husband what his thoughts were on this years award show he said,  “I think they should have a category for kids”.  “I don’t think the young female rapper should be in the same category as the other nominees”.  “ They should have a categories for kids to compete too”.  I agree with my  husband ,“The kids are the future generation of music”, “They will continue the legacy”.
