International Hip Hop Star Famoe Nominated For 4 Acclaimed Awards

Celebrated and acclaimed independent Hip Hop artist Famoe continues to make headlines both nationally and internationally. Currently residing in Germany, Famoe has released records through Rap & Rhymes Records, Sony Music, Universal Music, Kontor Records, and more. For over seventy weeks he ranked on the Official Compilation Charts internationally. The icing on the cake for Famoe was his collaboration with Hip Hop West Coast legend Kurupt, the single titled “On My Side.” Famoe has also worked alongside Serius Jones, TQ, Big Brovaz, Donnie Klang, Spider Loc/Hot Rod (G-Unit), Scola (Dru Hill), Darnell (Shai), and that’s just naming a few.

The Hip Hop sensation has topped charts nationally and internationally for decades including several #1 iTunes charts in Turkey, Portugal, Belgium, and Canada, as well as several iTunes Top Ten charts in UK, Germany, Italy, Canada, Portugal, Belgium, and Turkey. On Spotify charts, Famoe ranks on several compilation charts in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, as previously noted, for over seventy weeks.
Famoe’s latest single “What I’ve Been Through” was chosen as the official soundtrack for War From The Archives, an independent film out of Ghana. Not allowing himself anytime to breathe, Famoe is gearing up for his new single “Blessed” set to release on June 3rd.

Famoe’s success surpasses lightspeed and because of that it’s no shock he’s been nominated at this year’s 11th Annual Richmond International Film Festival (RIFF) June 7th-12th, which is one of the largest festivals in the Mid-Atlantic. His nominations include Best Hip Hop/Rap Award, Overall Grand Jury Artist of the Year, Critics Choice Award, and Audience Choice Award. The festival brings together national and international artists in the music and entertainment industry, and attendees range from Oscar winners to emerging talent and is filled with music showcases, industry panels, artist Q&As, entertainment mixers, red-carpet ceremony, and much more.
