Hey folks, it's time for round 2 of our ongoing Remix Contest. Once again, thanks to all who have participated. The response has far exceeded our expectations. Before moving on, here are the winners from round 1 whose tracks will appear on the eventual HipHopDX ReMixtape.
To remind you, the voting came from myself (Jeff "J-23" Ryce), our audio guru Joel "Shake" Zela and from the readers from last weeks poll.
50 Cent - Ayo Technology - SageTrois
Birdman - Poppin' Bottles - Rockwell
Gucci Mane - Freaky Gurl - Feno Encino
Outlawz - Drivin' Down The Freeway - PeTe
Q-Tip - Work It Out - Dela
R.Kelly - Rockstar - Embassy
Stat Quo - Grits - Remot
Congrats to all you gentlemen. It will be Embassy's Rockstar remix that will be on our myspace page for two weeks as well.
Moving forward, MAKE SURE TO NAME YOUR TRACKS! It is not easy keeping track of 60 plus songs as it is, nevermind when 30 of them are named "track 1." This is how you should name files before sending.
There are your new a cappella's. We've got tracks from Styles P, Papoose, 50 Cent and Talib Kweli f. UGK. The deadline is December 18th and all submissions can be made to music@hiphopdx.com. Refrain from using all caps in your subject line or email as it will likely end up going to junk mail.
Looking forward to round 2!

What up folks, one more day to get your remix contest submissions in. Nothing will be accepted after midnight tomorrow, so don't try and send stuff over the weekend like the rules don't apply to you. I know how y'all do.
Selections should be made within the next week and the next round will start soon! Stay tuned to the blog for more!
Thanks to all those who've participated so far!!

If you’re a producer trying to get on and wondering when 50 Cent is gonna stumble across your myspace page and use one of your beats, HipHopDX can help. It’s the HipHopDX Remix Contest kids, your chance to get some serious shine.
Here is how it works: We provide you with selected acappellas, you download them (see links below), you remix them, and you submit them (to music@hiphopdx.com). You can remix all of them, some of them, or one of them. That is up to you.
What we do is select the best for our bi-monthly remix mixtape that will distributed for free download to hundreds of thousands of people across the net and to A&R’s and major label reps. We will also take the best of the best and let the readers decide who brought the hottest remix and the winner will be HipHopDX’s myspace song for two weeks.
We will be supplying new acappella’s every month so keep checking in!
