Contests

From the hip-hop heavy city of Detroit comes Progress Report, a wildly live hip-hop crew led by none other than D. Allie, who has been profiled here on Potholes numerous times. We have a very special treat for our readers today, as Progress Report is offering our readers the chance to win a signed free copy of its new 7″ vinyl. As expected, the songs are thumping and hard-hitting. All you have to do to win is follow @PotholesInBlog and @ProgressDetroit on Twitter, and tweet, “I want to win my @ProgressDetroit vinyl from @PotholesInBlog.” Get those tweets in; you have until Tuesday, August 17 to enter.

In addition, we’ve included one of the singles from the vinyl here for your listening and downloading pleasure. Hit the skip to download “Wake Up”.

This needed to be posted a long time ago, but due to all my internet issues while I was overseas, I only got around to it now. When the folks taking care of the Hung Soundtrack first hit me up about doing a contest with them, I almost wet my pants. First of all, it’s HBO we are talking here, the only station on television worth watching. Second of all, it is an awesome show, straight up. And finally, the music on the show is always spot-on. With artists like The Black Keys, Sharon Jones, Grant Lee Phillips, Morcheeba and much more, there is very little room to go wrong. The new season started a few weeks ago, but that doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate the summer season and all its glory. With that said, I am happy to announce that Potholes In My Blog has a hardcopy of the soundtrack to give away. What do you need to do? Simply follow the directions below:

1- Follow @PotholesInBlog

2- Tweet: “Follow @PotholesInBlog to win free copy of HBO’s Hung Soundtrack! http://tinyurl.com/2wys4lq“

3- Cross your fingers, sit back and wait for us to announce the winner on August 1st!

Check out more details on the project after the skip. And if you are one of the many that don’t end up with a free copy, don’t fret! You can purchase of the copy of the soundtrack here. Thanks for playing!

This is one of my favorite releases of the year right here, point blank. Sene came correct, and Blu went in with the production. Definitely one of the select few projects that will carry over with me into 2010. With that said, get your tweet on and win you a signed copy of ADayLate&ADollarShort!
