OurStage.com, Radio One and Grammy Award-Winning Artist T–Pain Announce Contest Winner and Release Winning Single

Winner Twank Star Receives Production Deal with Nappy Boy Digital

Boston, MA – December 18, 2008 – OurStage (www.OurStage.com), a music discovery destination providing professional opportunities for up-and-coming talent, Radio One, Inc. (www.radio-one.com), the urban media specialist, and Grammy Award-winning artist T-Pain have announced Twank Star as the winner of the “Step in the Ring Challenge,” their joint effort to discover the next hip-hop or R&B star. On December 5th, 2008, Twank Star was contacted live on air by T-Pain on Radio One’s Russ Parr Morning Show where the announcement took place and Twank Star’s winning single featuring T-Pain was played. In addition to receiving promotional support for the winning song, Twank Star will also receive a one-track recording contract with Nappy Boy Digital, with the option to extend. The winning track is also available for download on iTunes and streaming on OurStage.com.

To enter, artists downloaded T-Pain’s “Everybody Else” from OurStage.com and completed the song with their own lyrics. After collecting 1,000 submissions in less than 2 weeks, T-Pain let the OurStage community judge the songs to find the top 10 favorites. To rank all of the songs, OurStage fans judged 700,000 head-to-head battles. The contest was promoted on-air and on-line via Radio One mainstream urban stations and the nationally syndicated Russ Parr Morning Show.

“While all of the top 10 songs were really impressive, Twank Star’s collabo was the clear winner in my eyes,” T-Pain said. “I designed my label, Nappy Boy Digital, to break down barriers and introduce new voices like Twank Star to the masses. I’m looking forward to taking him to the next level.”
