Kijayy Wins Who Got Next? Tour Rap Showcase – DMV Edition

Yesterday, local artists competed for the semifinals in DC where the winner received a featured verse on a celebrity rapper’s single, a flight to Atlanta to perform at Coalition DJ’s, or better yet the organization known as “The DJ’s That Turn Rappers Into Superstars” New Music Mondays, and an artist spotlight write-up in the Washington Informer: Sounds of The DMV. The judges panel: Music producer J. Medina, long-time Frederick artist Retro/Ricole, Lue Minks, CEO of VA Premiere Playlist, and Kiki Wilson, CEO of OUT40 determined the winner based on versatility, live performance, and audience engagement. Three rappers competed: Wan Too Cold, a D.C. based artist, Leo Fibino, and Kijaay, both local artists on the rise.
