The winner will receive show credit, the opportunity to be mentored by Ahmir "?uestlove" Thompson from The Roots during a session where the winning score will be professionally produced and a trip to NYC to attend the taping of the fourth annual "VH1 Hip Hop Honors" celebration in New York in October.
