LiveDigital Crowns 'Trup1aya' Spitcam II Champion

Hottest Online Community Sees Tremendous Surge in Growth as Trup1aya Rallies From Behind to Win Online Freestyle Competition

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- LiveDigital today crowned a relatively unknown Maryland rapper, Trup1aya (http://trup1aya.livedigital.com/) ultimate victor in the second series of Spitcam, LiveDigital's video freestyle rap competition.

In the final battle, Trup1aya rocked the online hip-hop community, as his hard hitting style and relentless freestyle flows led him to triumph over fan favorite Daphya (http://daphya.livedigital.com/). Without the benefit of a wide fan base, Trup1aya relied solely on his lyrical ability and brutal punch lines to win the votes of Spitcam's biggest hip-hop fans and a coveted place in the Spitcam hall of fame.

"I think it's great that Spitcam gives people an opportunity to express themselves musically. There are a lot of people on the site that have talent we wouldn't otherwise know about," said Trup1aya. "Before this competition, the only time I rapped was when I was chillin' with some friends, until I saw Spitcam and decided to give it a shot. Now I'm considering getting a mix tape together and pursuing rap a little further, so I thank Spitcam for that."

"People like Trup1aya is what Spitcam is all about -- providing young rap artists a place where they can show the world their talent, and get the respect and notoriety they deserve," said Jin the Emcee, legendary freestyle battle rapper and Spitcam host. "Spitcam has definitely come a long way from the tour van in China where we tossed around the idea. I am ecstatic to see that people like Trup1aya and Daphya are using LiveDigital's online social community to get people excited about their music."

LiveDigital has come a long way, too. According to the latest Comscore results, in July the site reached record traffic levels, and LiveDigital's users tell the story -- their allegiance to the community is reflected in the rankings. LiveDigital has a history of building tools to help its users; continuing advancements are designed to maximize user creativity and expression within this growing, tight knit community.

Rappers hungry for battle needn't worry -- Spitcam will be back in mid-August for its latest incarnation, Spitcam III (http://www.spitcam.com/) where freestylers can compete for the $1,000 prize and the chance to launch their career.

"With Spitcam we have created a place for the hip-hop community to gather online, share their own music and provide feedback for each other," said Lawrence Ng, LiveDigital CEO. "Each round of Spitcam brings submissions with higher quality. The competition grows fiercer as our communities become tighter," noted Ng. "Participants will also soon benefit from new LiveDigital communication features. The next round of Spitcam is going to blow you away."
