Loud Records uses Kyte Platform to find the next hot MC

Posted by: Vera Sparre    Under: Customers |

Loud.com, social networking site of the groundbreaking music label Loud Records, is using the Kyte Platform to find the next hot MC.

The site has created a contest, Finalists ‘08, where 10 aspiring rappers get their own branded Kyte channel to promote their material and build a fan base. Each rapper has been armed with a Kyte-powered Nokia N95 phone and will be Kyting performances and music videos that they create for the contest.  Fans can tune in to the rappers' channels to view authentic, raw, video footage as it happens.

The site has leveraged the Kyte API to create thumbnails of each rappers’ Kyte channel, allowing viewers to watch each channel from a single Kyte Player.  Fans can also choose to embed their favorite rapper's Kyte channel on their own social network, blog or website by clicking on the “Get & Share” tab at the bottom of the Player.  And with the Kyte Platform’s multimedia chat feature, fans can communicate with each other and provide the MC's with feedback on their performances and music videos.

So who will be the lucky winner? Stay tuned to find out. In the coming weeks, Loud plans to announce the winner at an event that will be broadcast on the Kyte Platform.

Good luck fellas!
