Aye Bruh… I got a few questions for you!

Can you spit ridiculous bars?
Got a voice like a song bird?
Do your beats slap?
Can you convey a message with your music?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then hit us up!
We got a hot opportunity waiting for you.

The DJ Project is kicking of its 2010 High School tour and launching our first ever “All Eyes on Us” Music Competition. “All Eyes on Us” is a music competition about sending a strong message to the media community, including Big Alcohol Companies, who spend billions and billions of dollars each year targeting youth, that “Enough is Enough!” There’s no question that the media and Big Alcohol Companies have “All Eyes on Us” and we want to fight against the messages they send that influence youth to think it is okay to drink underage, glorify the use of alcohol and other drugs, and turn our community of youth leaders into a community of users.

All you need to do is write and record an original song about how the media (TV, Radio, Internet, Newspaper, Magazines, Billboards, etc) creates messages targeted toward youth that influence the way they think about alcohol and drugs, and you will be eligible to win some $$$, tight prizes, and the opportunity to perform and get your voice heard at various events for the San Francisco community.
