Indaba Artists Featured In Verizon Super Bowl Campaign

Super Bowl XVI will be especially exciting this year since we’ve arranged with Verizon Wireless to bring the music of Indaba to NFL fans. Three killer NFL hip hop anthems from the Banshee Music opportunity will be distributed as part of a mobile “iD to Win” contest.

If you own a Verizon Android phone, dial **iD (**43) and play either of the football contests in “iD to Win”. You could win tickets to this year’s or next year’s Super Bowl, but even if you don’t, you can download the three mp3s, compliments of Indaba Music and in8 Mobile. Play ‘em back on your phone for the perfect soundtrack to Super Bowl Sunday.

You can check out the three featured artists here to get yourself amped up for the Pats-Giants action:
