I wonder if there will be some unsigned hype that comes out of this. Most underground artists don’t have budget for a video. I bet most of the submissions will be live performances for most of the heads. Check out this video snippet of Destro and Karim of Boom Bap Project freestyling.
The $10k Guitar Center prize is pretty nice to get a proper studio set up.
I agree, a music video is hard for a local artist on a budget.
