Get Up Close And Personal With Superstars Rihanna and Ne-Yo
Fans to pen smooth rhymes for a chance to hook up with two of the hottest R'n’B artists
Sydney, 18th October 2006 – Yahoo!7 Music (yahoo7.com.au/music) users are being given an exclusive
chance to meet Rihanna and Ne-Yo when the international R'n'B superstars visit Australia later this month as
part of the ‘Roc Tha Block 2006 Tour’ in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne. All fans have to do is submit a
slick rhyme about their favourite Roc Tha Block artist, be it Rihanna, Ne-Yo or Jay-Z in no more than 50
words at yahoo7.com.au/music.
The Barbados-born songstress Rihanna has already taken the music charts by storm with her infectious
singles ‘Pon De Replay’, ‘S.O.S’, ‘Unfaithful’ and the hot new single ‘We Ride’ – now she’s heading to
Australia with fellow urban and hip-hop global superstars Jay-Z and Ne-Yo for their much-anticipated tour.
Lucky winners of the Yahoo!7 Music competition in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne will get to meet both
Rihanna and Ne-Yo backstage. They’ll also score a couple of free VIP tickets to the show, which is already
being billed as the biggest urban music event of the year.
Cricket Wardein, senior director of marketing at Yahoo!7, said, “These guys are the hottest names on the
international R'n’B circuit right now. They’ve got a massive following in Australia and we’re really pleased to
be offering fans the chance to meet them and see them perform live. It’s a really cool competition - the best
rhyme wins!”
Entry details can be found at yahoo7.com.au/music. Competition closes at 9am AEST on Monday 23 rd
October 2006.
