Sarah Green x Lupe Fiasco win 'Best of the Booth Award' for their collabo 'Dirty Rose'

Sarah Green and Lupe Fiasco won the Best of the Booth Award 2010 for their collabo Dirty Rose in the category "Best R&B/Pop Record (Unsigned/Independent)" in both, the readers and staff pick at DJBooth.net

Here's what they say about the track:

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.

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.
