Holy Hip Hop, Vol. 4 Now Accepting Sonicbids EPK Submissions for: Holy Hip Hop: Taking the Gospel to the Streets, Vol. 4 - Thru: May 29, 2006 (MidNight)

May 17, 2006. Atlanta, GA.  Holy Hip Hop: Taking the Gospel to the Streets, Vol.4, distributed worldwide by EMI Gospel,  is now accepting music submissions via  Sonicbids Electronic Press Kits. As with Vol. 1, Vol. 2 and Vol.3, Sonicbids EPK submissions will be exclusively accepted for a limited time only (thru: May 29, 2006). CD submissions are not accepted in any manner whatsoever.

If you already have a Sonicbids EPK, then just log in to your control panel and submit your EPK to the Holy Hip Hop, Vol. 4 Promoter's Submissions Box. If you do not have a Sonicbids EPK, then to register, Click here: SonicBids (or copy/paste the following weblink into your web-browser): http://www.sonicbids.com/hhhcd. To view an EPK sample, Click here: Tragedy  or on the following weblink (or copy/paste in to your web-browser): http://www.sonicbids.com/tragedy

All Sonicbids EPK submissions will be independently reviewed and if they are not Holy Hip Hop Genre trax (as noted in your EPK classification - as this is not open to secular/non-Christian ministry submissions); or if tracks contain any profanity (including the 'N' Word), the EPK will be automatically disqualified. Then, in June 2006, one of your selected submitted songs will be  emailed, as an Audio Web-Link, to thousands of individuals within and throughout the Global Holy Hip Hop and Gospel Community for listening and voting, also providing tremendous exposure for your music ministry.

There will be independent rounds of voting and all selections are made by the people in the global community so as to give all Ministers of the Gospel an equal opportunity to participate.  We have found this process best to produce fair results, as well as ensure quality product, as the people ultimately know what they do or do not want to hear or support.  If your EPK is selected for web-polling, each participant is also free to forward the song-sample emails and voting links to family, friends and supporters. The more people who participate in the process, the better. The album street/release date is set for Fall 2006.

There will be twelve (12) tracks chosen and the album. After the final round of voting, all votes will be tabulated and selectees announced. Please note the Mastering Guidelines, in the event your ministry is selected. Also, please be sure to have in order all Producer, Engineering and Copyright Information for your selected song. The process post-selection moves very quickly.

Thank you very much for your consideration to participate in Holy Hip Hop: Taking the Gospel to the Streets, Vol.4.

Peace and Blessings to you all,

Panchetta Harris, General Manager, Holy Hip Hop Music
