More of us, hopefully more of you...

We received some complain letters last week (as if we're some huge-ass event company), about our events and its line-up. It seems like we always have the same people for our shows. "How come 65&Hope are not giving opportunities for new fresh talents who want to break into the scene?"... "Now that Beats Society might not be doing Platform anymore, how do we get recognized?"... "What's so good about Freaky Z?"... Ok ok, we heard you guys/gals and we're acting on it.


Coming this April, we're organizing our very own rap talent search program, PROTEGE! We're looking for individual or crews who can rap, entertain and of course bring your message across. Only 15 acts will be choosen from the audition, to perform at Chamber on 26th April. Top 7 acts will then be groomed, producing music with some of best producers in the scene, recording their very own original song and performing at our upcoming shows for the next 7 months. Lastly, the final round PROTEGE: Last Call will be held in December and the top 3 acts will win attractive prizes and record their very own EP.

Sounds good? Well dont wait any longer. Simple send us your name, stage/crew name, date of birth and a short bio about yourself/crew to 65hope@gmail.com. Audition begins in mid April, so that's the closing date. This could be your big break! :)


And how could we forget about our neighbours? FAMILY AFFAIR is back and this time we're bringing more Malaysian acts down. The Rouge Squadron will be coming down on 17th May 2008, with KLG Squad and Dose Two. It's going to be off the hook, we tell you! Plus all our local emcess who are going to rock the show as well, such as Rauzan, Bless and many more, this is definitely an event you should look forward to. SG & MY, nam sayin!

On top of all these, we still have our Floetry going on every month till July. But this month's Floetry is replaced with DEFINITION. So we hope to see you all of you hip-hop heads and local music lovers on the 29th March @ Chamber, The Arts House, 3pm sharp. Early birds will receive a mixtape. Pre-sale tickets are selling fast, no joke! Email us, 65hope@gmail.com for tickets.

Like we said earlier, we're still in a midst of adding more stuff to this site. Today we added the upcoming shows, so you can see what's in store from us the next few months. We've also added a new page, the SG Artiste link, where you can find all the active independent hip-hop artitste in Singapore. YES, there's more, we're still working on it and NO, they're not signed by us. We just love what they do for the scene and their music. Show some love for them by visiting their sites and drop a comment too, if you can. More updates will up soon! Till then, have a great weekend!!

ps; we weren't joking about the complain letter... :)
