Attention All Battle Rappers: Loud.Com Annual 100, 000 $ Tournament Coming

For the second straight year, Loud.com has launched their Annual Online rap battle, in which aspiring rappers battle it out for the chance to win $100,000 and a recording contract with SRC/Universal MoTown.

This year, Loud has included a Producer Challenge, where aspiring music producers have the opportunity to add their original beats to the Loud Online Recording Studio. Their beats immediately become available to contestants in the $100,000 Online Rap Battle, and the winning producer will take home $15,000 as well as a production deal.

The first round's judges are superpopulars Cool & Dre.

"We got involved with Loud.com because it's real, not some fly by night operation, or a site with a bunch of promises," Cool & Dre told BallerStatus.com. "They do what they say... Congrats to the last winner (Tha Crow), who is currently in the studio recording his album ... with some money in his pocket."

"Two reasons," Sha Money added, as to why he got involved. "This is my chance to give back and allow all the new talent out there to hear how they would sound over one of my monster tracks. And two, the Loud.com staff and Steve Rifkind are legends and great taste makers in this game and are gonna keep expanding this site for people who love and enjoy the culture of hip-hop."

At the end of the 20-week long contest, one winner will be chosen from the Producer Challenge, along with 10 finalists from the Online Rap Battle and be given a set of challenges. The resulting competition will be chronicled in The Finalists: Season 2, a webisode series via Loud.com, and ultimately produce the winner of the Online Rap Battle.
