#MWB6 $1000 Winners “QP” of Dayton & King Nation of Omaha

#MWB6.jpgMidwest Best 6 went down in history November 14th as the 1st Midwest Best $1000 Showcase where both winners where from outside of the St.Louis region.

Omaha group King Nation brought the most people out to Studio 618 that night with a total of 24 people counted which mean they brought more support then any artist from the St.Louis area & walked away with $500.

The judges had a tougher time picking the Midwest Best judges pick considering between 5 artist in particular Queen Kong of Northern Mississippi, J Boy Boss Azz of Milwaukee, T Hunt & QP both from Dayton & Draya Bytch of St.Louis,Mo.

After about 10 minutes of deliberations the 3 judges which included Song writer and clothing designer known as “Tha Supa,”Rick Ross Music Group artist Jayy Topp, and viral sensation Jay Red of Tulsa, OK came to a decision to announce Qp the next $500 winner of the Midwest Best. The reasoning included the fact that all judges connected with with music as well as enjoyed it more than most other artist in the showcase as well as respected his image branding his label Heavy Hittaz & wearing it on his back letting everybody know what he reps.

Mark your calendars the final St.Louis area Midwest Best $1000 showcase will be January 23rd 2016 at Studio 618 & as always for more info or to perform text 3146296404.
