A (2)Dope Illa J/J Dilla Contest

To celebrate the recent release of the instrumental version of Illa J’s Yancey Boys, the good folks at Audible Treats have teamed up with your favorite rapper’s favorite website to bring you the “Illa J Remix Contest.” After downloading the hook-included instrumental versions of “R U Listening” and “Showtime,” you will have two weeks to rap your best verses based around the concept of Illa J’s hooks. Then submit your versions of the songs to be judged by Illa J and his label, Delicious Vinyl. Rappers are allowed only one submission per song, which means at most two entries per person. Check out the full details under the cut.
