It wasn’t too long ago that a young Atlanta, Ga., artist named B.o.B. used the ‘Almost Famous’ stage to help create a buzz that would soon overwhelm much of the U.S.
How ironic the day he dropped “The Adventures of Bobby Ray,” his first studio album under Grand Hustle Records, a new pack of hungry artists would attempt to use a similar route to their musical dreams.
Using Charlotte’s Bentley’s R.S.V.P. as their proposed launching point, several acts from the Carolinas and Virginia were given center stage to highlight their talents during ‘Almost Famous: Charlotte.’
Since 2004, ‘Almost Famous’ has been used as an avenue for emerging artists to prove themselves. It has been a place where the likes of B
.o.B., Myko Willie Joe and others took their initial steps toward stardom, using arguably Atlanta’s most celebrated artist showcase to do so.
Acts including B-Stacks, Tay-Tay, The Plug, Mica Swain, Derty Den, Maui, the Transfers, King Carter and Moe Diamondz did their part to further the legacy of the event, which hopefully will serve as a catapult to their landing lucrative major label deals.
In addition, “The Carolina King” DJ Chuck T was awarded the 2010 DJ of the Year award for his contributions to the music scene in the Carolinas as well as other portions of the country.
Sponsors for the event were Power 98 FM (Charlotte), Rolling Out, Creative Loafing, Port City Production, Publicity Stunt Marketing, Shebloggin.com, Truth DVD, Crowes Nest TV and Greenhitz.com.
‘Almost Famous’ was a production of Verseus Entertainment.
