To get your hands on it, simply click here and tell us three other artists Kanye’s produced for.

Now mosey on over to that guy West’s MySpace and official website. Oh, and don’t forget to peep the dope SoMe-crafted video here.

NFL Comp!

Wednesday, October 24th, 2007

Fancy getting your mitts on tickets to the hottest party of the year? Answer one quick question and they’ll be yours!

Going down on October 27th in honour of the NFL coming to London with the Miami Dolphins taking on the New York Giants at Wembley, Reebok, official outfitters of the NFL, have rustled up an amazing all-star line-up: DJ Cash Money, Shortee Blitz, Lethal Bizzle, The Mitchell Brothers and that man Tinchy Stryder all dropping blazing sets at the Music Room in London.

Even though there are only 250 tickets available, the good folks over at Reebok have managed to secure ten pairs to give away to HHC readers. To cop a set, simply answer this easy-as-pie question:

Which two NFL teams will play at Wembley later this month?

Email us the answer by clicking here! (And do so before Wednesday, the comp’s closing date.)
