For the first time ever, a South Asian hip-hop group has the chance to represent their culture in front of a billion people worldwide. Doritos, the chip you love to eat, has sponsored a contest so big that not only does the winner get a TV spot during the Super Bowl, but also a major record deal with Interscope Records, which boasts a roster that includes 50 Cent, Eminem, Dr. Dre, and others…

Judged by industry heavyweights such as Will.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas, Soul Tap Records, Nivla and P. Oberoi have made it to the Top 10 with their hit song Be Easy (Koi Naa). They will need your help to make this a reality! From December 17th through December 31st, 2007, your votes are the only way that they can make it to the Top 3 as finalists. Please log on to www.myspace.com/doritoscrashthesuperbowl and vote for Nivla ft. P. Oberoi.

Franki Love – You might remember Franki Love’s last trip to New York City and her appearance on both ImaginAsian Radio and The Hip Hop Hour with NUZ ‘n’ NAK. You also might remember when we called her boyfriend up live on the air and played a practical joke on him that turned sour.


She is coming back to New York City for another round of fun. She will be in town right after Christmas to play a gig at The Bitter End. Not only is she returning to her hometown to tear it down, but this show is extra special because it’s her mother’s birthday. For more information, please see the Events section or simply log on to www.frankilove.com.

Daniel Ho – This two-time Grammy Award winner, Slack Key Guitarist, and Hawaiian musician just contacted us, stating that he just returned from Japan and has come home to great news. Both he and Tia Carrere have received nominations for the prestigious Grammy Awards.

Daniel was nominated for Treasures of Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar, produced by George Kahumoku, Jr., Daniel Ho, Paul Konwiser, and Wayne Wong, and Tia Carrere was nominated for Hawaiiana. Both albums are under his record label, Daniel Ho Creations. ImaginAsian Radio sends our congratulations and support out to both records. For more information, please visit www.danielho.com.

DJ QBert - He is easily one of the most gifted scratch DJs of his generation. Known for his legendary speed, laser-like precision, and quirky imagination, his turntable opus, Wave Twisters, was a science fiction odyssey of thunderous proportions. This Bay Area resident is still rocketing listeners through bizarre sound bytes, gigantic bass and amazing crossfader work, keeping heads nodding. A true expert in his field, DJ QBert not only displays stellar examples of his craft, but interstellar glimpses of where the art is headed.

Due to overwhelming demand, DJ QBert is headed across the ocean in 2008 to headline the Coke DJ Culture Tour in Germany and hit spot dates throughout Europe ... so don't miss out on catching the Scratchmaster himself live!! For more information, please visit www.thudrumble.com.
