Official Uk Mixtape Awards

The Official Mixtape Awards have announced their nominations for the hottest mixtapes and artists for 2011. It was a solid year for the Uk mixtape game with both the underground and more commercial artists dropping some classic material. Nominations for the best mixtape award are as follows:

Best Hip Hop Mixtape:

Dru-Blu – Snack Box
Blade Brown – Financial Times
Giggs – Take Your Hats Off
Manga Obzokey – Wranglings

The OMA’s have done a good job with the nominations but the biggest surprise for me is not including Youngs Teflon “GMT2” in any of the categories for me it was one of the strongest tapes to come out although he does get a nomination for his “Belvedere Music” mixtape for best hip hop.
