Press Release:

CHICAGO - Grammy Award winning rapper, Rhymefest, is giving fans the opportunity to be featured on his highly anticipated sophomore album El Che. All unsigned emcees are encouraged to submit their hottest 16 bars to be considered for placement on the Scram Jones produced anthem “Give It To Me.” Ruby Hornet, in conjunction with Rhymefest’s new label home dN|Be Entertainment, will be accepting verses online beginning October 13th, 2009. Contestants will have until October 27th to submit their feature at RubyHornet.com.

With the “Give It To Me” contest, Rhymefest is giving back to the fans that have inspired him to keep making music. Not only is Rhymefest giving one undiscovered talent the opportunity to be featured on an epic album, he is also hoping to launch the career of a new dynamic voice in Hip Hop. The winning contestant will not only be featured on the digital version of the single, but will also appear in the video for the song when it debuts.

Since the debut of the Blue Collar LP in 2006, fans have been a significant motivating factor in Rhymefest’s continual progression in Hip Hop. Therefore, it would only be fitting to include them on El Che. Through his partnership with new indie label dN|Be Entertainment, Rhymefest now has the freedom to work more interactively with fans. According to Rhymefest “I want to reward my fans for faithfully supporting me over the past few years. They’ve helped me shine so now I’m opening up the door to let them shine.” El Che, featuring the street banger “Give It To Me,” is slated to drop in early 2010. For more details on the “Give It To Me” contest please visit RubyHornet.com and ElCheTheMovement.com.

This is a fantastic idea and a wonderful opportunity for so many great artists to get the break that they have been waiting for. I just want to thank Che for doing this for his fans, and to let everyone know to watch out for my boy HACKett, serious competition. Good luck to all.

Curious?
written by Espiv , October 14, 2009

Was just wondering if there was a restriction on language? I'm about to upload my entry but I can add some "dj premier" sound effect over the 2 words to make it a clean version.

Question...
written by Alan "Age"Hall , October 15, 2009

You know... the way the songs laid out, that it would result in a 18-20 bar verse instead of 16. No matter... I'll demolish this in due rhyme. Remember the time.

My verse.
written by Pronoun , October 17, 2009

For those interested, my verse is here.

http://www.myspace.com/pronoun17

I apologize for the cursing, I wrote this verse on short notice while I was semi hungover, and with work in the morning, I didn't get to fine tune it.

Also, at the 11 bar mark, I say "will he ever snap tape?" For clarification.

written by gravity89 , October 19, 2009

I agree this is hilarious support, but respect to it. hey , if YOU dont...who will right Ill, lmao?!? well, all of you real hedz don't get too ruffled by any of the posted "comments." just look at it like this...
time will tell if the "artists" entering have it or not. quality shines through regardless of any attempts to "fluff" in the end. so, just let it ride. I'm sure I can imagine what any really really sick emcee is thinking anyway on all of this........y'alll aint heard sh** yet....just wait. so, let's wait for all of the entries to be revealed to hear whats out there. IF...they will be revealed at all online. In short, "awww let em do them, real spit lovers now what it is anyway, lol." ; )

Sorry if this is a duplicate.
written by Endurer , October 20, 2009

Well, I'm outta the contest. Yal gotta check the link (http://www.rubyhornet.com/inde...&Itemid=62) Rhyme Fest is slammin' cats (me included). It's cool, he's lettin' folks know what he expects. Do some research on el' Che before you spit your next verse. On the break (those are guns shots) not my style of emceeing. The coldest cat thus far was a dude I've heard before named Suliman ( I may have spelled the wrong). I don't spit profanity or say the "N" word in my lyrics. Rhyme Fest is trying to get cats to dig deeper so for those that choose to go deeper, start diggin'. There are some hot flows out there so keep movin yal. www.myhiphope.com
