HIP HOP GROWS UP, Inc. celebrates the achievements of the hip hop generation and those who steer the force of the Hip Hop culture. And today we are celebrating the accomplishments of one of the drivers of the Hip Hop culture: Rahiem Shabazz.
Rahiem Shabazz proves Hip Hop Grows Up! And we support him completely.
Veteran Hip Hop Journalist, Shabazz, is truly on his way. He has recently been nominated for ‘Journalist of the Year’ by the EURWEB.Com Awards Show committee. Currently, he is a writer for Exclusive Access Magazine.
“His miraculous rise from the hard-scrambled streets of Harlem, to one of the most sought after journalist in hip-hop is truly an honor and we are proud to have him on our staff,” states Candice Coleman CEO of Exclusive Access Magazine.
Shabazz is nominated along side some heavy weights in the writing industry. Some of his competitors include the legendary Susan Taylor of Essence Magazine fame and the million book-selling author, Zane.
When asked how he felt about being nominated in a category with such prominent authors and personalities, Shabazz stated, “I’m just honored to be considered among nominees such as Susan Taylor (Essence Magazine) and million book seller, author Zane.”
For Shabazz, this nomination could not have come at a better time. He will be releasing his highly-anticipated street novel “Love On Lay-Away” this year.
The gifted writer, editor, and copywriter’s byline has been spotted in newspapers, websites and on the pages of several glossy Newspapers & Magazines – The Source, Break Magazine, Ozone Magazine, XXL Magazine, AllHipHop.com, IndustryCoSign.com, Urban Enterprise Magazine, 3XS Magazine, Street Master Magazine, Houston Sun Newspaper, AUC Magazine, Exclusive Access Magazine, Industry Status Magazine and Rolling Out Urban Weekly ׀ On TV with Black Entertainment Television, Starz In Black, Yashin TV, Rule Hollywood and Hoodz TV ׀. Shabazz has interviewed an array of celebrities and executives including media maven Tyler Perry, hip hop legend 50 Cent and entertainment icon Magic Johnson to just name a few.
The awards show will take place August 1, 2008 at the convention center in downtown Los Angeles, California. Additionally, EURWEB.COM is a prestigious awards show in its own right. According to Exclusive Access Magazine, The EURWEB.COM Award Show is the brainchild of legendary media mogul Lee Bailey. EURWEB.COM is ranked as the 3rd most popular website among African Americans according to the Black Data Research and #20 out of the top 100 entertainment sites in existence.
