Jay-Z Holds Contest for Nets Theme Song Writer

Alyssa Rashbaum

right Instead, Jay is hoping you'll help him out. The Def Jam president and part owner of the NBA team is holding a contest to find an amateur performer who can write and record a proper theme song for the Nets.

The lucky winner will get to meet Jay and perform the contest-winning song live at a Nets home game this season. The performer will also get to record the song in a studio and have that track played at all Nets home games.

Jay will select the winner from a final three entries chosen by representatives from the Nets and Hot 97.

Think you have what it takes? Record your track on CD or cassette tape and send by March 5 to:

"Nets Song Contest," Nets Basketball
390 Murray Hill Parkway
East Rutherford, NY 07073
