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. [read the rules]
