Over the years in promotions, I have been blessed to meet and interview many talented Orlando artists. Unfortunately when it comes to the Hip Hop scene in Orlando, many have expressed that there is no true opportunities for emcees to get noticed. I have heard many stories of how a person has talent but no chance to showcase that talent and gain the exposure that they need to “make it”, that “Orlando is not the place for Hip Hop”. When I hear this, it disappoints me because there is plenty of talent in the central Florida area that deserve the acknowledgment. And despite what they may believe, there are many chances for emcees to getnoticed, if they are truly motivated to “get their grind on”.
