I received a note from a rapper known as Pimp Tea who received two nominations for Urban Single in the East Coast Music Association’s 2005 East Coast Music Awards. I checked out the list of nominees and there may be other hip hop acts on here but I’m unfamiliar with these artists and they’re not identified by genre. Worse, the list itself has dark blue text on a black background, undermining my commitment to further investigation. So I have to give the site extremely low points on that for both usability and accessibility.

However, I did cut and past the nominees for Urban Single Track Recording of the Year:
In Another Lifetime – Nucleus Remix ( Dion Todd )
Never Surrender – 22 Green Remix ( Dion Todd )
P. Titty ( Pimp Tea Featuring Mickey D & Bonshah )
Shake Ya Caboose ( Pimp Tea )
Strugglin’ ( The Chronicles )

I also discovered that Pimp Tea’s aka is Troy Neilson and he’s also nominated in the Industry Categories for Manager of the Year. I was already familiar with Troy from his Atlantic Canadian hip hop newsletter but he doesn’t have any information online about that cause he’s too darn busy!
