Are you an artist that has some hot sh*t?

Well, this is your time to prove it!

The Live Hip-Hop Battle starts now! Starting today, all artists, send your hottest track to gtaylor808@yahoo.com.

Each Tuesday and Thursday (based on the response received, more responses means more days added), I will hold a battle and here's how it's going down:

I will choose which songs are going head to head. The winner of Tuesday's battle will go head to head with Thursday's winner on Friday for the #1 spot. The champion will be selected by the readers' votes.

At the end of the month, all weekly winners will go head to head. The winner of the final battle, will provide http://www.urbannewz.com/ with our theme song and also be given a free beat by WMS Sultan. He produced 4 joints off of Joe Budden's Mood Muzik 3, including the very muched talked about Talk To Em.

Submit those songs and good luck!
