Famed Indie Hip Hop Artist Famoe, Nominated For Several Acclaimed Awards

May 19, 2022

International Hip Hop phenom Famoe has been in the headlines for over a decade. He’s worked alongside Serius Jones, TQ, Big Brovaz, Donnie Klang, Spider Loc/Hot Rod (G-Unit), Scola (Dru Hill), Darnell (Shai), and that’s just naming a few. A career highlight though for Famoe was his collaboration with Hip Hop West Coast legend Kurupt, on the single titled “On My Side.” He’s released records through Rap & Rhymes Records, Sony Music, Universal Music, Kontor Records, and more. For over seventy weeks Famoe ranked on the Official Compilation Charts internationally.

The now Germany native, Famoe continues to chart both nationally and internationally including several #1 iTunes charts in Turkey, Portugal, Belgium, and Canada, as well as several iTunes Top Ten charts in UK, Germany, Italy, Canada, Portugal, Belgium, and Turkey. On Spotify charts, Famoe ranks on several compilation charts in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, as previously noted, for over seventy weeks.

Famoe’s latest single “What I’ve Been Through” was chosen as the official soundtrack for War From The Archives, an independent film out of Ghana. Not allowing himself anytime to breathe or take in his accomplishments, Famoe is gearing up for his new single “Blessed” set to release on June 3rd.

With success surpassing lightspeed over the past decade, It’s no shock that Famoe has multiple nominations at this year’s 11th Annual Richmond International Film Festival (RIFF) June 7th-12th, which is one of the largest festivals in the Mid-Atlantic. His nominations include Best Hip Hop/Rap Award, Overall Grand Jury Artist of the Year, Critics Choice Award, and Audience Choice Award. The festival brings together national and international artists in the music and entertainment industry, and attendees range from Oscar winners to emerging talent. The festival is filled with films, live music showcases, industry panels, artist Q&As, entertainment mixers, and the most anticipated red-carpet award ceremony.
