Thanks to everyone who participated and voted in Round 1 of our contest. I hope you enjoyed the music and were exposed to some fresh new artists. Throughout the remainder of the contest, we will be spotlighting all the artist who made the Top 16. But after a week long battle, 8 emcees have advanced to Round 2...Hit the jump to see the Round 2 matchups.[MATCH-UP #1]
Please take a listen to the songs and vote on the four match-ups. The winners from each pairing will advance to the next round. Voting for Round 2 closes on Sunday night at 11:59 PM. After getting some negative feedback regarding the voting process and speculation about ballot stuffing, we've changed it up a bit and now you can only vote once per computer. I know some people were unhappy about it, and we apologize. Obviously, no system is perfect. We're just trying to keep this as fair as possible, while still giving all the artists some well-deserved shine.
