The Nexus Zim Hip Hop Awards are looking for their next headline act, and auditions run at Moto Republik on Allan Wilson Avenue from 10AM to 5PM on Sunday 25 October. Solo artists, duos and hip hop groups can all enter, and should bring their audio on a flash stick. One stage, one opportunity, and the judges' decision is final. Contact 0783 116 111 or 0719 479 352 for more. A real shot for any up-and-coming rapper who wants to perform at the awards in December.
