Nov 18, 2014 5:28 PM CUT The opening lyrics to Azealia Banks’ single “[Chasing Time](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtTjzDTpx8o "undefined"),” off her weeks-old album [_Broke With Expensive Taste_](http://time.com/3571596/azealia-banks-review-broke-with-expensive-taste/ "undefined"), practically beg for a remix. “I want somebody who can take it apart,” she sings. “Stitch me back together, make me into who I wanna be.” It’s fitting, then, that the Harlem rapper-slash-singer is promoting her new album with a remix contest, offering $10,000 to the fan, producer, or dabbler whose version of “Chasing Time” she deems most worthy. In conjunction with MTV, SoundCloud, and BitTorrent, Banks has made the song available to [download](https://bundles.bittorrent.com/bundles/azealiabanks "undefined") for free. Users can then upload their remixed tracks to a [Remix Lab](https://soundcloud.com/groups/remix-lab-azealia-banks-chasing-time "undefined") on SoundCloud. The page already has a couple dozen remixes uploaded, some stripped down and others primed for the club. The range of sounds stemming from the same original canvas is already quite varied, and contestants will have to show a high level of originality to stand out from what will undoubtedly be a large field of entries. The contest runs until Dec. 15, after which Banks will judge the entries herself and declare a winner. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3592343/azaelia-banks-remix-contest/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3592343/azaelia-banks-remix-contest/"},"headline":"Azealia Banks Invites Fans to Remix Her Single “Chasing Time”","datePublished":"2014-11-18T17:28:56.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T11:31:04.056Z","description":"The winner will receive a $10,000 grand prize","url":"https://time.com/3592343/azaelia-banks-remix-contest/","keywords":["Music","Hip-Hop","Contest"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt0e6cf61d4a8e79ce/6987695455a8590440a84291/azealia-banks.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Eliza Berman","jobTitle":"Berman is a senior editor at TIME.","url":"https://time.com/author/eliza-berman/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt0e6cf61d4a8e79ce/6987695455a8590440a84291/azealia-banks.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Azealia Banks Performs At O2 ABC In Glasgow","caption":"Azealia Banks Performs At O2 ABC In Glasgow","creditText":"Ross Gilmore—Redferns/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3592343/azaelia-banks-remix-contest/","name":"Azealia Banks Invites Fans to Remix Her Single “Chasing Time”"}}]}] ```
