For the 6th year National Recording artist Correy "H.O.O.D" McClure is joining forces with the Charlotte Community to bring national recognition to Inspirational music and Outstanding Community Leaders.
The Urban Inspirational Awards will be held April 20th-21st, 2012 at New Covenant Bibleway ChurchThe event will be sponsored by Inspirationallifemusic.com, Skye & Associates and HOOD Life Entertainment. The weekend event will provide entertainment, education and inspiration through music, and recognition of the "unsung" leaders in our community. The youth will be awarded through a special program that gives them an opportunity to do community service work and leadership programs.
McClure says that he changed the name this year because "I wanted to not only promote Inspirational rap music and give awards to the artist, but I wanted to give out awards to people who have seeded into my life & community leaders/activists who are doing things to clean up the inner city neighborhood's from drugs, guns and gang activity. "
In addition to the name change, this year's show will take on a few changes. Chosen youth will be provided with the celebrity "Green Room" treatment and selected artist will be taken on a national tour to promote "Inspirational Hip Hop, Rock, Contemporary, and R&P music".
Last year McClure and his staff travelled throughout the United States to audition artists for the talent showcase. Artist and Community Support nominees will be recognized in several different categories, including: Artists of the Year, Producer of the Year, Humanitarian Award and many other categories.
The event is completely free and we invite all citizens of Charlotte and the surrounding communities to attend. For more information please visit www.urbaninspirationalawards.com
