(Up 'N Coming)

Double Take 

Sikadime Has been on his hustle since elementary school and feels he has been the most slept on rapper. He has traveled around from Toronto, Niagara Falls, and L.A. His group got signed to “Death Row Underground a subsidiary of Death Row Records” (explained in his myspace bio) for only a short time. At the moment he is in Niagara Falls and a runner up for 6 nominations at the Niagara Music Awards! Constantly on the move he came to Toronto to tell us about his nominations, read on and find out who is getting greedy…

How does it feel to be nominated for 6 awards?

Feels good; finally some recognition. Shamon and Dan-e-o were featured on “Strong Hold” (2007 single) , one of the tracks that is up for a nomination. I look up to those guys like role models. It's an honor to be nominated on a track with them.

How did you get nominated for the awards (votes, hits, requests)?

- I did 6 admissions; this year is gonna be like the Juno’s
- Rogers is sponsoring it, and I met with the committee
- Online voting for the Peoples Choice Award

Have you had any nominations before?

No…lol if it counts…I got an “ Outstanding Student Award” in elementary school; me and a few guys wanted to get out of doing a performance, by doing a Christmas rap (we didn’t think that the teachers would like “rap” part)! The teachers ended up liking the song, so we performed it!

What do you think the secret ingredient is/ was regarding the nominations (track/ video)?

- Rejuvenated (CD) is doing good
- Ayatollah ( producer) says Rejuvenated is the realest album
- I appeal to everyone; if you like the music, you like the music. if you don’t, then you don’t!

Which award are you hoping to get: Original Song of the Year, Original Band/ Artist of the year, Album of the Year, Hip Hop Group/ Artist of the Year, Male Vocalist of the Year, and People’s Choice Award?

I’m gonna be greedy and say all 6!

How has your life changed since the nominations?

Cool feeling; it’s only the second annual, so I’m coming in on the second one! Hope I win them all. Maybe next year ill be up for ten, I don’t know.

Who else is doing their thing in Niagara Region that you know of?

Los Tha Don, Jeanyus Studios, Team Offense, KAC Himself, Femapco, Produece, Fancy, Verbal, Hospitals, Rsonal, Moofreak, Apokalypse, and Aye Druw ect.

Is there anything else you would like to add?

Be on the look out for Carpe Noctem a new album I’ve been working on for the past few years.
