Larry Gates was the frontman for local band Lorenzo Goetz for nearly six years. Now he performs under the name Curb Service and released his first album under that moniker in October 2007. He discovered hip-hop in 1983, when he was 10 years old.
Yes Yes Y’all and Smile Politely are giving you the chance to be THE NEXT BIG THANG! In an effort to promote independent and undiscovered local hip-hop artists, we are hosting a contest for the entire month of March to find C-U’s best kept secret. We know that there are a lot of emcees out there who just haven’t had a chance to shine. Think you got the skillz to pay the billz? Time to step up to the mic! The contest will be judged by Yes Yes Y’all columnist Larry Gates (Curb Service, ex-Lorenzo Goetz) based on lyrical content, originality and overall flow. The winner will receive a full-length original song produced by The Jezebelly (Larry Gates, Josh Miethe) and a full feature profile on Yes Yes Y’all.
Here’s how to enter:
Deadline for all entries is MIDNIGHT Wednesday, March 26th, 2008.
Contestants will NOT be judged on the recording quality of their entry.
Open to all Champaign county residents 18 and older. Smile Politely contributors and advertisers are not eligible.
