Last night New York City’s Terminal 5 hosted the final stop of the Hennessy Artistry Tour which included surprise performances by Bilal, Don Omar (viva reggaeton!), Consequence, Karen Wheeler of Soul II Soul, Q-Tip, and Queen Latifah, as well as mixology scientists, Common and The Roots. We arrived a little later than we wanted to, but were able to get the full scoop from our main man about town The Good Reverend Dr., who coincidentally has probably attended more Roots concerts than anyone who isn’t in the actual band.

Now that blogging has become a viable occupation that pays people actual government-issued money, we decided to take it to the next level and reward a lucky someone for sitting around making music playlists. Armchair DJs, here’s your chance to shine: The Hennessy Artistry Tour is an experience that is all about blending—unique blends are Hennessy’s forte, and nobody blends better than Hennessy. The Artistry experience is deeply rooted in the multicultural mishmash of music, art, fashion, dance, the Internet and overall culture, so we want to know how you interpret our multifaceted world on your headphones. We’re asking you to lock in your A-game and send in your best, most creative blended playlist (artist names and corresponding song titles only) of hip-hop, R&B, soul, Bmore club, outré basement beats, anything with some bounce to it. The FADER & Suite903 editorial staff will review every single playlist with our discerning minds and choose the best one. The obsessive music head with the winning playlist will receive a trip for two to NYC to attend the Hennessy Artistry Halo event, starring Common and The Roots! You’ll get a hotel too, we don’t have enough room on our couches for you. Send your entries to: contests@thefader.com. Full contest rules after the jump, and make sure to visit thefader.com/hennessyartistry09 to see what people are saying on Twitter about Hennessy Artistry.
