E. Grizzly won the 2006 Independent Rap Artist of the Year at the 16th annual L.A. Music Awards. E. Grizzly's album Hip hop is dead! was nominated for Best Breakthrough Album of the year for an independent artist at the 16th Annual L.A. Music Awards. E. Grizzly was on MTV2 doing a sucker freestyle about MLK which can be seen at www.mtv2.com/#series/20077. People often ask us whether Nas and Purto Roc were involved in each other's work, since we have both released albums with the same title. We are not. But E. Grizzly and Puerto Roc Records are currently negotiating with Nas, Def Jam Records, and their affiliates to resolve any confusion over our album titles.
