Rising Up - The Roots

Maybe you've seen the commercials on BET about it's new show "Rising Icons". Do you know that BET, Complex, and Grey Goose have a contest for Local Rising Icons? If you didn't know that, then I bet you REALLY didn't know that two of Detroit's own (and favorites) Big Sean and DJ Mo Beatz are both in the running for this, I guess, honor. The winner gets to share the stage with the likes of Chrisette Michele, Keri Hilson and The Dream on the Sept. 8, BET special. Now here's the tough part, picking your favorite between the two. Shadyville's DJ Mo Beatz spins for FM 98 WJLB, has DJ'ed around the world and just so happens to be Big Sean's DJ. Now Big Sean is signed to Kanye's G.O.O.D. Music Label and Island Def Jam and he just released the official video for his buzz single "Getcha Some." I guess if you're really determined you can use two different computers and multiple e-mails to vote. They are the only two representing Detroit and in my personal opinion they BOTH deserve the opportunity.

VOTE FOR BIG SEAN AND/OR DJ MO BEATZ HERE.
