I need everyone’s support, because I’m going to show the

out on. So don’t forget to show some love to your boy by
signing up at
www.16bars.com and
voting for me on June 20.”
16 Bars is a groundbreaking movement designed to reconnect
hip-hop to its roots by promoting competition and by putting
power in the hands of fans. It is a series of 3 competitions
featuring hip-hop artists from all over America and beyond.
The three 16 Bars shows -- “Combine,” “Phenom,” and “Icon”
-- will provide the live and pay-per-view audiences the
opportunity to enjoy the hottest talent in hip-hop and to
vote on the artist they think is worthy of the title.
All three 16 Bars shows will be judged by the live and
pay-per-view audiences using an innovative scoring system
that gives them total control of the outcome. The winners of
each show will be determined by a groundbreaking scoring
system that combines the votes of the live audience (gauged
by crowd decibel level inside the venue) with votes cast via
text message; votes cast via e-mail (voters must register at
www.16bars.com); and votes cast by a panel comprised of
local DJs, hip-hop personalities, and a fan selected through
an online contest.
The winner of each show will receive a cash prize, and 16
Bars will also make a matching contribution to a charity in
the winner’s home community. So if Stylo is victorious, 16
Bars will make an investment in Nebraska on his behalf.
Combine features the hottest underground talent in hip-hop.
16 Bars Combine will take place June 20th at the
Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City. Phenom
features up-and-coming hip-hop stars that have recently been
signed by major labels and who are getting ready to break
out. 16 Bars Phenom will take place September 18th in
Atlanta. Icon will bring together legends of
hip-hop. 16 Bars Icon will take place December 29th in
Los Angeles.
To reward hard work and talent and to increase competition,
the winner of Combine gets to compete at Phenom. The winner
of Phenom then gets a crack at the big stage with a place in
Icon. So an unsigned artist like Stylo has a shot to take
his talent from Omaha to the stage in New York City to a
global audience over the course of the three shows.
All three 16 Bars competitions will be broadcast on
In-Demand pay-per-view. For more information, go to

from 16 Bars.
