    …No Braille Weapon Aid? Move Merchants? Sean Little & Wonder Brown’s Love Aphiliated? I know you can’t nominate every one – but don’t sleep on these recent projects!

    Thanks for letting me participate!

  8. @Jonathan Sinclair – Each was considered when we debated about our finalists in each category. Very tough to decide who made it and who didn’t. We considered a wide number of factors in deciding who made it and who didn’t.

    Thanks for your votes, feedback and support!

  10. Hope Shad doesn’t get voted emcee of the year. Only dropped one album and yes the album is great…it doesnt stack up to the releases that JustMe put out, solo and with WonderBrown, as well as SI projects.

    Either Justme or Playdough

  25. Butterfly Sessions wasn’t in the top 3 in fan voting for EP of the year!?!?!?!? That is amazing to me. Everything Is Everything is might be the song of the year in my book. I’ve hit repeat on that joint more than any other one anyway.
