12th Annual Justo Mixtape Award Nominees Announced
January 18th, 2009

With 2008 ending and 2009 in full effect, the annual Justo Mixtape Awards are gearing up to honor a new group of mixtape artists and deejays who made last year’s Hip Hop music scene even stronger than the last.

Teaming up with HipHopCaucus.com this year, the Justo Mixtape Awards offer Hip Hop fans the chance to write in nominees for their favorite mixtape, mixtape artist, and mixtape deejay from the past year. Fans will also have a chance to vote on the final nominees when they are released a few weeks from now.
Along with a plethora of artists who released a handful of mixtapes last year, one notable front runner for several categories is Sha Stimuli [click to read], who released twelve mixtapes in 2008 including Hotter Than July, The Funeral, and The Break-up respectively. For his contributions to the mixtape arena, Sha is up for “Mixtape Artist of the Year,” “Mixtape of the Year,” and “Mixtape Duo of the Year” following his work with DJ Victorious.

As would be expected, the Justo Awards have also expanded their number of categories. One in particular that stands out is the “Politically Inspired Mixtape of the Year” award, influenced by the monumental presidential election in 2008. Front-runners for that category include Sha Stimuli (March on Washington), DJ Green Lantern [click to read] (Yes We Can), and Nas (The ****** Mixtape).

Writing in nominees for the 12th annual Justo Mixtape Awards can be done [click here].

For real, if Banks doesnt win East Coast Artist of the year, then this award show means nothing at all. Shit would be a joke if he dont win that shit for the year he had with the mixtapes.

Mixtape Artist of the Year: Tony Yayo, he killed everything he was on. Banks too.

Uh, no, Yayo did step up on his tapes this year, but Banks killled everything, from ROTBS, EITS, PLK, HH, CC, he ripped shit up. I assume they still do a West, South, East mixtape artist, if so, Banks has to win East Mixtape artist of the year, who else on the east did as much, dropped as much heat as Banks did? Nobody. But them awards suck now that Justo died, I dont even think Slay is involved at all, so its not the same awards as it was, but Banks should win that shit this year, again.
