This Is Hip Hop Remix Contest: Week 9

April 7, 2008 – 5:27 pm  By Kevin

We’re baa-aack! Wow, long vacation, but it was much needed. I wanted to get this up last night, but my flight got in late. I’m still sifting through my email, but I got a BUNCH of new stuff that I’ll be posting this week, including a ton of new sample collections that Thomas worked on while I was away. Anyway, let’s kick this remix contest back up. Hopefully you all will have enough time to get this one in by the weekend. Congratulations to Blinky, who won another week with his remix to the Nas’ “NY State of Mind”. Before we get to this week’s track, let’s run back over the preliminaries.

Here’s the deal… for 12 weeks, we’re gonna hold a weekly contest… 12 weeks/12 mixes. The way it’ll work is every Saturday night I will provide the song to be remixed for the week. There will be 2 links… the acapella and the song in it’s original version (for reference). You will have one week to complete your remix. Entries will be taken until 11:59pm EDT the following Saturday. Then on Sunday morning we’ll have a new poll on the blog for people to vote for their favorite mix. Voting will take place for one week while the next mix is underway. At the end of the 12 weeks, I’ll put together a compilation album of all the winners for each week with a kick ass cover designed by Krome. Sound cool? I know some people are gonna be like, “what’s the prize?”. The prize is inclusion on the compilation album and exposure on this site. I got nothing else to offer.

To submit your entry: Upload your remix in mp3 format to one of your favorite file sharing locations (ie, Rapidshare, MediaFire, MegaUpload, ZShare, etc) and leave a comment in this post with your name and your link. Some readers have requested the contestants use ZShare. So if you can, upload to ZShare. DO NOT email me any links… they will be ignored. This process is to make it easier for me so I don’t have to post everyone’s links. The production is open ended (for now), meaning there are no stipulations. Original productions are highly encouraged, but blends will be accepted as well.

I’m gonna hit you with another New York banger! This week, the track to remix is AZ’s “New York“, which features Ghostface and Raekwon. “New York” is off AZ’s 2005 album A.W.O.L. and was originally produced by Emile. Below are the tracks to download and good luck!

The cut-off to submit your remix is Saturday, April 12, 2008 @ 11:59pm EDT.

    This is a remix i did a while back. It’s some futuristic body bag type vibe. No samples all original. Good looking out on the site yo.
