After scoring the no. 2 album in the country last week with II Trill, Bun B has announced a partnership with Microsoft Zune to find the next rap superstar.
Bun B, along with his label Rap-A-Lot and Zune, plan to launch a contest for aspiring artists looking for stardom.
Through July 1, entrants can download an exclusive instrumental Mp3 track from the Zune Marketplace, record their own original rap over it, and submit their demo to Rap-A-Lot Records.
Once the competition is completed, one winner will receive an expense paid trip to Houston, TX where they will record the track in a studio with Bun B and have a chance at an exclusive recording contract.
After it's completed, the winner's track will also be featured as a free download on Zune Marketplace in September.
To download the instrumental, you can download it free on Bun B's profile at Zune.net/BunB.
In a cross-promotion effort with Zune, fans who buy the rapper's latest album, II Trill, at Best Buy will receive a coupon for $25.00 off an 8GB Zune digital media player while supplies last.
