Controversy and Big D Set to Open Up for 8-Ball & MJG & Pastor Troy

By:  LaCheston Moore



A voice that anyone in state of Alabama would know; But mostly in the cities of Birmingham and Tuscaloosa.  She provides us with an adlive like, "Ooooooo" that captures every ones attention over the air of 95.7 Jamz.  An on-air personality representative known as Mz. Katt issued a challenge over the radio that got a lot of independent artist fired up about the opportunity to open up for Platinum artist 8-Ball & MJG, and the illustrious Pastor Troy.

Mz. Katt the founder and president of AlabamaNow, a group of radio executives that are dedicated to promoting and marketing Alabama talent, knew that this was another chance for someone to be heard.

Mz. Katt made the challenge very simply, post your picture on "The Cypher" fan-page on Facebook and let your fans go to work for you.  The artist with the most "likes" will win the challenge.

With the deadline set only two days away.  Each and every artist that posted to "The Cypher" had there hands full.  The time for promoting and getting people to log on to Facebook was limited.  "The Cypher" challenge would not only give you a chance to perform, but it would also illustrate the type of fan-base/loyalty that each artist had.

One of those artist to hit "The Cypher" fan page was iPubNow's own Controversy and Big D.  This group could easily be perceived as the next big thing to make Alabama known, as the group and iPubNow geared themselves towards building a small campaign to attempt and win this chance to perform.

iPubNow, a company geared towards advertising and marketing for various artists, models, and disc jockeys, joined forces with the dynamic duo known as Controversy and Big D and immediately started touching basis with everyone we knew.

After the first night of campaigning, Mz. Katt updates everyone by revealing that Controversy and Big D were down two votes behind Tony Betts.  The group and iPubNow immediately goes ahead and reaches out to more of its audience as things prevail and Controversy and Big D brought home the victory.
Controversy and Big D are hoping for this to be the beginning of a journey to open up other opportunities for them.  They will soon begin promoting their next mixtape "Lyrical Healing Reloaded" to be launched next month along with the official music video for their hit single "Put It Down".  They are asking for all fans to be on the look out for this project.     

Special thanks to be extended to Mz. Katt, AlabamaNow, and 95.7 Jamz for providing an opportunity to independent artist in Alabama. Also to Firehouse Productions for hosting an event that started it all.
