Def Jam Recordings has a storied timeline considering it's a company touted as the "most influential and longest-lasting rap record label and hip-hop brand in history." Today the label is known as Island Def Jam, a place where many of the industry's biggest hip-hop and R&B artists call home -- Rick Ross, Rihanna, 2 Chainz, Kanye West, The-Dream and B.I.G. K.R.I.T., among others.

To represent the label that has brought you so many chart-topping artists who've rhymed and sang the soundtrack to your life, The BoomBox has teamed with Island Def Jam to gift two lucky winners with merchandise from the official IDJ online shop, which includes T-shirts, sweatshirts, caps and more.

Two winners will receive either one black or one maroon T-shirt, size large. The shirt has the Def Jam Recordings logo on its front -- see above photo -- and The BoomBox logo on its arm.

Giveaway rules: To enter the giveaway, follow @TheBoomBox on Twitter, and tell us your favorite song from a Def Jam artist. Include the hashtag #BBDefJam with your brief answer, and don't forget to put @TheBoomBox in your tweet, so we can spot you. One entry per Twitter account.

The giveaway begins at 1:30PM Eastern Time ("ET") May 11, and ends at 10AM ET May 14. The winner will be notified via Twitter direct message, based upon his/her answer.
