NEW YORK, NY & LOS ANGELES, CA - April 7, 2010 - Indaba Music, the top online destination for music creation, and Skullcandy, the leading designers of headphones and lifestyle products, are proud to announce today the Snoop Dogg "That Tree" remix contest. Fans and fellow musicians can now visit indabamusic.com/remixsnoop to remix the rapper's new single "That Tree," from his latest album More Malice. The hip-hop legend has already collaborated with Kid Cudi on the song, and now he's providing the track's stems to Indaba community members with the challenge to remix the song, fill in Kid Cudi's verse with their own instrumental or vocal flavor, and get the chance to chill out VIP-style backstage at a Snoop Dogg concert—filmed for Skullcandy TV— and much more.
"I'm excited to see what talent is out there," says Snoop. "I want to see how creative and experimental these young producers and rappers can be with 'That Tree'."
Submission for the "That Tree" Remix Contest will be accepted through April 30, 2010 at 5:00 PM EDT. Winners will be chosen by May 13, 2010 at 5:00 PM EDT by Snoop Dogg, Skullcandy board members and Indaba Music's co-founder Mantis Evar. The First Place winner will be flown out with a friend to a Snoop Dogg concert and will meet Snoop backstage - all filmed on Skullcandy TV. The winner will also receive $1,000 in cash, a one-year supply of Skullcandy headphones (one new pair each month), have their remix featured on Snoop's official website and Skullcandy.com, and receive gear signed by Snoop.
The Second Place winner will receive a one-year supply of Skullcandy headphones, have their remix featured on Snoop's official website and Skullcandy.com, and receive gear signed by Snoop. Third Place will receive three pairs of headphones, have their remix featured on the two sites, and receive gear signed by Snoop. Ten Honorable Mentions, selected by the judges from the 25 most popular remixes, will also each receive a set of Skullcandy Headphones.
ABOUT SNOOP DOGG
It's his natural appeal to both the hood and to Hollywood that has allowed Snoop Dogg to stay tremendously relevant through ten releases, including his recent Malice N Wonderland, and its immediate follow-up More Malice. Since bursting into our collective consciousness alongside famed producer Dr. Dre on the 1992 classic The Chronic, Snoop has remained a constant force in hip-hop and a household name around the world. As Creative Chairman of Priority, the label that helped established West Coast Rap, Snoop is helping to re-launch Priority and serve as Executive Producer for a series of Priority releases commemorating the label's 25th anniversary in 2010. With his involvement in movies and reality TV shows such as E!'s Snoop Dogg's Father Hood and MTV's Dogg After Dark, Snoop remains at the forefront of the rap game and also at the apex of popular culture.
