CONTESTS: Remix The 87 Stick Up Kids & get on a limited 12"

Party rap is an interesting conundrum.  On one hand, party kids will love you and exalt you and defend you to their non-partying friends.  On the other hand, kids who take their shit too seriously and don't want to give respect and credit and worth to artists of the so-called genre are way harsh and can sometimes be total dicks.  The group from LA called The 87 Stick Up Kids seriously call into question this argument.  They're totally party rap kids, but we around these parts feel like, much as Spank Rock and The Cool Kids and a handful of other wily kids have done, they've gone far and above the call of making just plain dance floor bangers that you'll forget about in 2 days.

Anyhow, the guys at URB are now running a contest to accompany the release of the group's first release, "Stoops And Basements", to get the word out to everyone who knows their way (or maybe not) around Pro Tools, Ableton, whatever.  If you win, you get your track on a limited 12" vinyl pressing of the single, which is totally amazing.
