August 2020 has arrived, and we have a brand new set of Fantasy Contests to enter, including R&B, Classic Rock, and Hip-Hop! Here, we’ll be covering this month’s Hip-Hop Fantasy Contest, featuring a 15-artist list of talented acts. You can get a quick refresher on how to play FanLabel’s Fantasy Contests by reading this blog piece.
