If you're a musician looking to break into the hip-hop scene, join the Stussy 'Make Beats' Contest and make a statement with your skills.
The west coast brand is giving musicians a chance to show off what they've got with the Stussy 'Make Beats' Contest. The rules? Contestants must create an ORIGINAL instrumental beat that's two minutes long max. In terms of instruments, anything goes as long as what's created is the individual's own musical piece. Winners will actually get to release an EP and be flown to Los Angeles to "perform at the Low End Theory event, a Teenage Engineering OP-1 portable synthesizer and a box of fresh Stussy gear," according to the rules. The contest will be judged by a committee from Stussy, Low End Theory and Teenage Engineering.
The deadline is September 14th, 2011, so get your gear ready and start mixing!
