3rd Annual Hip Hop in the Ville Awards 2012 Readies For Upcoming Show

The Hip Hop in the Ville awards ceremony, which recognizes artists, DJ’s, photographers, business owners and the like in Nashville and surrounding areas of TN, was created to showcase the Urban scene.

All guests of the show will have the opportunity to be lined up with videographers and interviewers prior to the Hip Hop in the Ville awards ceremony, which takes place on January 29, 2012 at the Factory at Franklin located at 230 Franklin Rd in Franklin, TN at 7PM.

In 2007, Hip Hop in the Ville began as a television show which was and still is hosted by hip hop artist and rapper Rob Dee, and formed by businessman and founder of Elite Business Network, Wesley Mitchell III. The television show later branched out and grew into a bi-monthly magazine in 2008. The magazine was soon followed by what is now the “Hip Hop in the Ville Awards,” which held its’ first annual awards ceremony in 2010.

Hip Hop in the Ville television show is currently viewed throughout three cities in the southeast: Nashville every Thurs at noon and 4:30pm on Comcast 19, Murfreesboro Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 7:30pm on channel 10 and in Atlanta Monday 11:30 pm on People TV.

Tickets for Hip Hop in the Ville are currently on sale and can be purchased at hiphopintheville.com. Door tickets will not be available, so those interested in purchasing tickets for the awards show are encouraged to buy tickets before the awards show.
