 Are You An Undiscovered Musician? Isn’t It Time To Get Discovered? A new kind of competition is beginning for ORIGINAL Musical Artists. All Original Bands, Solo Artists, All Ages, All Genres, All Over The World Are Welcome!
This competition isn’t on television and it isn’t on radio or even on the web. This competition is on what most people have with them all the time...their smart phones and mobile devices!
Here’s how it works:
1) Musicians submit their original music and information about themselves on ImUndiscovered.com (Musicians do NOT need a smart phone or mobile device to enter).
2) People can then listen and vote for and learn about their favorite artists right from an app from their smart phones and mobile devices.
The competition is starting on the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad platform and will likely be expanded to the Android and other platforms in the future. Hundreds of millions of people currently own iPhones, iPod Touches, and iPads and are just waiting to be exposed to new and unlimited music. Again, musicians can submit their music on the website and they do not need any sort of mobile device to submit their music.

The 36-year-old rapper - real name Curtis Jackson III - believes he may not have much longer to live, and has hit out as his team, including his record label Interscope, for not helping him promote his music properly.
In a series of posts on his twitter account, he said: "I have lost all the faith in the team I'm on. I have nothing left to say I will not be promoting my music.
"I'm going to deliver this album then. I have a film I wrote to focus on I'm not upset I'm just convinced this is not how I want to be remembered. Ill be honest I don't think I'm gonna live much longer. That's why I started my street king movement. I want to mean more in other peoples lives. (sic)"
He added the people involved in the highest level of his record label "disgusted" him.
He said: "Were suppose to be on the same team with me. Music was so much fun for me now the people and politics involved disgust me."
The 'Get Rich or Die Tryin' hitmaker added he would like to be a bird so he could "s**t on the world".
Curtis wrote in a series of tweets: "this morning I was looking out the window. I saw a bird film right on to ledge. It felt like he was looking right at me. I hit the window he Just looked at me like he new I couldn't do anything threw the glass. I was tripping he sat there a minute then flew off. I'd like to a bird So I could fly and s**t on the world. then you all could say 50 s**t on me. That's luck right ? Then don't wipe the s**t off. (sic)"

 You may remember California R&B singer TQ from his hit single "Westside" or his days as Cash Money's primary songwriter and hook man. Penning such hits as "Way of Life" with Lil Wayne and numerous compositions with Mannie Fresh, The Hot Boys, and the Birdman, TQ is back with a new take on the Eagles classic "Hotel California". The new video which is available on TQ's YouTube channel TQtheTrojan, was directed by newcomer Nathaniel "Sith" Nuon and gives a new twist on this legendary story. "We wanted to go way out on this music video." explains TQ. "After researching the lyrics and the story behind them, we found so many different interpretations that we decided to come up with our own. Sith is a madman as you can see... And this is only part one!"
The new single is available for free download for the first week of 2012 across the net. TQ's new label Kado Records is planning a full promotional tour in the US and abroad to support the record which will be going out to radio later this month. TQ is also in the studio creating a new remix for the single which will hit the net in a few weeks and his new album "Legendary" due out later this year.
