Best R&B/Pop Record (Unsigned/Independent) of 2010
Reader's Pick
Sarah Green ft. Lupe Fiasco - Dirty Rose
When you chance upon a diamond in the rough – aka a Dirty Rose – you'd be crazy not to guard it with your life. Just ask Lupe Fiasco: when the Chi-town heavyweight announced he was cleaning house at 1st and 15th, there was one artist he couldn't bring himself to jettison: Windy City soul songstress Sarah Green. This single, which found the boss spitting alongside his prized artist, left few in doubt as to the wisdom of his decision.
Staff Pick
Sarah Green ft. Lupe Fiasco - Dirty Rose
And it wasn't just DJBooth readers who were enchanted by Sarah and Lupe's ode to the hidden beauty of the outcast. The Chi-town native's striking vocal performance, along with beatsmith Bryce Wilson's left-of-center, rock-infused production and Fiasco's characteristically attention-grabbing opening bars made “Dirty Rose” the most unusual – and, in our opinion, the best – independent R&B record to hit our front page this year.

You know, I think it was an upset...Kirby Maurier's staff HEAVILY promoted "You," so I thought that was gonna win...Glad to see the staff & readers are in sync here though!
