Hey upcoming rappers…ever want a chance to open up for Drake, J. Cole, French Montana, Meek Mill, 2 Chainz and more at 27 different dates with your own decked out tour bus?!

To enter for a spot on the bill, contestants must upload their best track starting today (April 16), and fans will vote on the top MC. “This is going to change someone’s life,” said OurStage Vice President of Business Development, Dereck Brown. “There are artists who scratch and claw their whole career and never get a chance to share the stage with a platinum-selling artist like Drake.” Aside from opening for Drake, the victor will get to ride in a customized tour bus, and land a starring role in the Real Hip Hop Network “Rise” documentary.

Voting begins April 30 at 12:00 p.m. EST, and concludes May 20 at 12:00 p.m. EST. The winning submission will be chosen from the top 100 tracks voted on by fans, and approved by OurStage, the Real Hip Hop Network, and Drake himself.
