Best Hip-Hop Song (Underground/Unsigned Artist) of 2008

Reader's Pick:
Drake ft. Lil’ Wayne – Ransom
Even on the underground level, a little star power can go a long way. With a little help from Weezy, Degrassi alumnus Aubrey “Drake“ Graham brought listeners Ransom, an a Booth-acclaimed mixtape cut that undoubtedly helped the Toronto native secure a major deal with Interscope.

Runner Up:
K. Sparks – Hip-Hop

DJ Booth Staff Pick:
U-N-I – Beautiful Day
