Top Hip Hop producer The Alchemist has partnered with label Decon and HipHopDX for the “Rapper’s Best Friend 2 Contest.” In promotion of Al’s March 6th instrumental Hip Hop album, Rapper’s Best Friend 2 (order here), the longtime associate of Mobb Deep and Gangrene member is offering one lucky emcee a fully-produced track.
Decon and Alchemist released the following video breaking down how to enter and just what you win:
Beginning today, applicants may enter through downloading the instrumental to “Whole Lotta Thug” at RappersBestFriend2.com.
Contestants must then make a video of them rapping, and reply to the album page’s YouTube video here.
Additionally, contestants must submit their contact information at Decon’s Facebook page.
The winner will receive an Alchemist-produced single released digitally by Decon.
[February 22]

If y’all like the Alchemist, you may enjoy my blog, Rhymes and Reasons. Its a series of interviews with hip-hop heads who discuss their lives in the context of a few songs that matter to them. Tends to focus on issues of racism, white privilege, sexism, sexual violence, etc. Please take a look.

no one said it was the “best 5”, they are giving you an idea of submissions. Funny, good, bad, etc….
ok, and i’m saying those are 5 wack ass videos. i’m not just sayin that cuz i’m in the damn thing and they didn’t put my video up there, i just think it’s wack that they put up that garbage when they coulda gave 5 people shine that actually deserve it.
NONE OF THE VIDEOS PLAY!!
The hell? These are the notables?
Exactly what I am thinking. Shit I was questioning it but with these I am gonna make mine tonight
Severe and Blam were good
Trace Blam is tuff! Idk about the rest
Trace Blam is nice. You gotta check out his new music video if you want to hear some real lyrical shit. The song is called “Success” if you wanna check it out for yourself. We know HipHopDX won’t check it out without getting paid.
TRUST ME! The kid has skills.
