Lemar And Dauley®

During our Awards Tour week, we decided to make a few stops of our own. Instead of landing in cities though, we're landing on actual awards which is difficult because the tops of most of them are pretty pointy and there are so many of us landing. Have no fear, we'll protect you from those pointy tops and we'll just get to what the award is and who has it. Our first award stop is in the Music awards and since you're all familiar with Grammys etc. we figured we'd give you a less heralded one. The ASCAP was the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers way to create a cool acronym and give it to people on plaques with their faces on it. Considered the grand puba of all songwriting awards, it's a pretty big deal. This year, the radio killer himself-The Dream landed the top honor of songwriter of the year which he shared with C. “Tricky” Stewart. Congrats.

Vibe magazine has announced that after 16 years of bringing us the best urban music has to offer, they are closing their doors. They found out as they were preparing the Michael Jackson tribute issue which we were majorly looking forward to. We will always treasure our stashes of the mag and look forward to any future endeavors of the company.
