One of the most influential hip-hop groups of all time, an industry-leading music company and a culture-defining art brand—Public Enemy, M-Audio and Obey—challenge you to remix an a cappella version of the critically acclaimed Public Enemy track “Harder Than You Think” (from their latest album How You Sell Soul to a Soulless People Who Sold Their Soul). Chuck D and Johnny Juice of Public Enemy will judge the entries and determine the winner of a complete home studio setup from M-Audio. The winning remix will also be officially released on Obey Records in the form of a 12” vinyl, featuring an exclusive vinyl label design by Shepard Fairey. All profits from the vinyl sale will be donated to the Boys and Girls Club of America. Side B of the vinyl release will feature an exclusive unreleased Public Enemy track.
The contest will run from July 1, 2008 to September 30, 2008.
The grand prizewinner will be announced in late October.
