Although ﾓThe New West World Order Volume 1ﾔ is still buzzing like crazy, Meech Wells [visit his Myspace page here] is almost done with the second installment of his street album series. The new project will feature guest appearances from Eastwood, Young Mack Life, Young Joker, and the rest of the usual suspects ﾖ but you can look out for some big name surprise guests to pop up as well!
While Meech is putting the finishing touches on the album right now, heﾒs looking for a special new talent to fill one guest spot. Being that this is the holiday season, Meech wants to extend his hand to the right MC that deserves some big time shine. Knowing that Dubcnn is a breeding ground for all kinds of up-and-coming talent on the West, he came to us, and after some joint brainstorming weﾒre pleased to announce one of our most exciting contests to date. Weﾒre bringing ﾓ8 Days Of Christmasﾔ to the West Coast underground this holiday season. Together, weﾒre gonna hook you up with what could be your big break into the West Coast rap game!
Below is the instrumental to ﾓNite L.O.C.S.,ﾔ a Meech Wells production that originally featured Snoop Dogg, Kokane, and Goldie Loc. Meech wants to see what you can do with this track. To enter the contest, all you have to do is record a new version of this song. Drop your own original concept, lyrics, and delivery on the cut, and be sure to give it your all!
Keep in mind that Meech is looking for an MC with a fresh style. Heﾒs also not looking for typical gangsta rap on this track. In fact, thatﾒs the point of this contest. Think of it this way: Meech is asking you, ﾓHow would you update this track to make it appeal to the average hip-hop fan in 2007?ﾔ Itﾒs a tough task, but if you can pull it off youﾒll get hooked up in a major way! Download the instrumental below and get started.
Meech Wells ﾖ Nite L.O.C.S. [Instrumental] [DO NOT Base Your Song Around This Title/Concept]
When youﾒre done recording your song, send it in to eddie@dubcnn.com with the subject line as ﾓDubcnn & Meech Wells: ﾑ8 Days Of Christmasﾒ Contest.ﾔ Only MP3 and WMA formats will be accepted. Also be sure to include your MC name, phone number, and a Myspace page if youﾒve got one. We strongly encourage that you join our forum community if you haven’t already as well, because Meech will be in there frequently to chat with you directly.
After the contest is closed, weﾒll drop all of your songs off with Meech as a late Christmas present, and heﾒll personally listen to every single one of them. After careful review, heﾒll pick the winner himself!
The lucky MC who wins the contest will get the amazing opportunity to come out to Meech Wellsﾒ studio and work on a song with him! The track that the two of you record will be featured on ﾓThe New West World Order Volume 2,ﾔ which is dropping for free download in January, only on Dubcnn. There are a lot of major moves in the works right now over at Meech’s In A Zone Productions, so while we canﾒt say anything right now, aligning yourself with this camp is definitely a position that you want to be in.
If youﾒre serious about getting into the game, this is an opportunity that you canﾒt pass up! In keeping with the ﾓ8 Days Of Christmasﾔ theme, the contest will end on December 28th, 2007 at 12:00 AM PST ﾖ 8 days from now. Youﾒre gonna have to get it in gear to get this track done, but we have faith in you! The winner will be announced right here on Dubcnn on December 30th. Good luck!
From everyone at Dubcnn and Meech Wells: Happy Holidays!
