Want a chance to showcase your skills and rock with The Legendary Roots crew? Well here is your chance, thanks to Indaba's The Roots "Criminal Remix" contest. You have until November 12th to submit your round one remix to The Roots' "Criminal" off of their latest album Rising Down. Provided are separate tracks from the song including bass, drums, keys, guitar, and vocal, so you can really get busy (no pun intended). The Top 25 finalists from round 1 will receive autographed copies of Rising Down and move on to Round 2 where they will have another week to remix a second track by The Roots. The winner of round 2 (as selected by Black Thought, ?uestlove and Indaba resident Mantis Evar) will have an opportunity to record an original song with members of The Roots. Hit up Indaba for further details and to get the stems and go to work. In the mean time check this new joint from Von Pea, Donwill, Spec Boogie, and Che Grand (aka The Lessondary) to see how to at least rip new vocals over a track by The Roots.
The Lessondary "Get Busy"
count me in …
Hope this doesn’t end up like Erykah’s Real Thang contest. Did anyone win that?
game on!
…why remix criminal tho? the song is near perfect as is man..
I agree criminal is tight just the way it is. Just release it no need for extra publicity. what is this roots star search now?
soulconn.bolgspot.com
count me in. it’s a great song but i’m sure it’ll be fun to change the mood. i’m glad they are doing this
(holding my nose)…this stinks!!!
Who is fucking with the Lessondary??? Von Pea i feel has the Dilla complex…everybody talks about Black Milk but V.Pea is the truth. Check his aura on the Moonlighting LP…dude killed it man…that Pretty joint was dope as shit..and che grand is a hype gutter beast. Where the hell is Ilyas? Thats another cat who as NEVER kicked a wack verse.
Where we can find the separate tracks of the song?
It’s pretty impossible to do better than the Roots crew..This get busy remix is a good example..
peace
i wasn’t even up on indaba…thanks.
By the way, if Quest should hear his drums on one of my projects in the near future, just charge it to the game.

Hello. I am a finalist in The Roots Remix Contest. Round 2 is underway and voting will continue until December 19th. While The Roots will ultimately decide who the winner is voting is still open to the general public so they can make their voices heard as to which mix they like the best. I would love to make a strong showing in the popular vote in this very prestigious and high profile competition. So I am asking you to support me with your vote. Who knows, maybe if the public demand is strong enough it may influence The Roots decision. You can vote for me at the following link. I would really appreciate it. Thank you so much! Here’s the link. http://www.indabamusic.com/submissions/show/4200
