T.I. is set to host this year’s Global Spin Awards in New Orleans on Feb. 16.  The fifth annual awards show will honor DJs from across the world. DJ Khaled, DJ Envy and DJ Drama are nominated for DJ of the year along with DJ Snake, Diplo and Calvin Harris.  The awards will also feature a special No Limit reunion with Master P, Silkk the Shocker, Mia X, Mystikal and Romeo.
“Throughout my career, I’ve formed long-standing relationships with DJs and have always noticed the lack of recognition given to them and the roles they play within the culture, music and entertainment,” Global Spin Awards founder Shawn Prez states on the GSA website.  “The GSAs were created to fill that void and finally honor the DJs exclusively for their achievements, especially amongst their peers.”  The show will air Feb. 23 at 10 p.m. ET on Revolt TV.

C-Murder grew up in one of the toughest projects in New Orleans, and in STRAIGHT FROM THE PROJECTS he returns there to expose both its shortcomings, and its strong community spirit. Taking us on a wild ride through the city, C-Murder shows us the crack-addled ghettos, streets riddled with gunfire, a lap-dancing club, and many more sights that make his success story a remarkable tale of strength over adversity.
C-Murder’s music is all about where he grew up in Calliope 3rd Ward (CP3), one of the toughest projects in New Orleans, where poverty, drug abuse and violence are epidemic. For the first time, see his neighborhood uncensored: gunfire breaking out… children toting guns in their waistbands… the young men who died too early… as well as the warmth and camaradeire so vital to the neighborhood’s survival. Also see dirty dancing at the Rhythm City nightclub and the music videos that the club inspired. Getting to know where C-Murder’s from and his lifestyle is the only way to really get inside his music.
