The anticipation levels for the VFiles x Def Jam DJ Championship continue to rise. This afternoon, in an exclusive with The FADER, the multi-media fashion juggernaut unveiled the line-up for the first ever user-submited sound clash, all handpicked by the VFiles and Def Jam. Here are the final three contenders: 

Eskay, a 21-year old Massachusetts-based producer that's worked with Chief Keef, Soulja Boy and Lil B.

Gianni Lee, a West Philadelphia hard style DJ/producer that also moonlights as a fashion designer.

Karman, the electronic artist/DJ hailing from Beverly Hills that's established his name with Sad Boy Affiliate remixes and producing tracks for Squadda B and Little Pain.

The winner, chosen by Def Jam's EVP and co-head of A&R, Kyambo “Hip Hop” Joshua, will receive an all-access pass to Def Jam events during this their 30th anniversary year, a guest spot djing the anniversary blow-out party, studio time in NYC to hone their skills. and brand new gear courtesy of Traktor DJ software, the world's first pro DJ software for iOS, and a ultra portable mixer and controller Z1 package from Native Instruments. This is sure to be a NYFW showdown for the ages.
