A couple weeks ago, Azealia Banks released her album, Broke with Expensive Taste, and to promote the newly release project, Azealia is getting a little creative. Today, Azealia announced that she is teaming up with MTV, BitTorrent and SoundCloud to offer fans & producers the opportunity to remix her track “Chasing Time”, and win $10,000 dollars cash. No, seriously.
Here’s how it works: Fans can download the stems of the track from BiTorrent here for their remix, and then upload their finished products to Azealia's Soundcloud page here. The final submission date for the contest is December 15, and Azealia will then pick out her favorite remix and crown them the winner of $10,000 dollars cash. Dope right?
Who’s trying to be $10,000 richer for the holidays?
