Meet The Winner Of ‘The Song’
On Thursday, HeadKrack, Angie Ange, Lore’l, and Billy Sorrells of The Morning Hustle announced the winner of the “The Song,” — Sunny Dizzle (pictured) and the group Steakawese from Memphis, TN, came out on top with their original track, “KliKKK KlaKKK,” featuring PYU and Champ. The group received a $5,000 cash prize and a distribution deal on all streaming platforms, including Apple Music, Google Play and Spotify. “After receiving over 3,000 entrees from across the globe, we are excited to be the vessel to introduce the world to Sunny Dizzle and Steakawese,” said Colby Tyner, Vice President of Programming, Radio One, adding, “This contest was a huge success.”
Sunny Dizzle was unaware his group’s song had even been entered into the contest until he learned they were one of the top three finalists. Needless to say, he’s grateful their music and message will now be shared with the world. “First off, I want to say THANKS to everyone involved for this moment,” Dizzle said. “The song was never made to win a contest, but it was made to bring awareness to the issues we as black people are facing in America. Although my Steaksawse brothers and I are appreciative of this amazing opportunity, we are dedicating this win to all those that have lost their lives to police brutality.”
