Rising Hip Hop star Joyner Lucas continues to make headlines as one of the industry’s hottest newcomers. The East Coast artist was crowned Outstanding Artist of the Year and also won Best Video of the Year for his breakout video “Ross Capicchioni,” at this year’s Underground Music Awards (UMAs) in New York City.
“It felt good being nominated. Reminded me of the reason I do this…just the idea of finally getting recognized for the work is dope to me. Means they paying attention. And to bring home two awards says a lot in my eyes. At the end of the day it’s the people who choose. The fans…and that’s the reason I do this. For the fans…” Lucas says.
The indie rap artist is fresh off dominating the blogs with his debut in the coveted BET Hip Hop Awards Cypher alongside Charles Hamilton, Jackie Spade and Tink.
