Earlier this year recording artist Young Thug issued a challenge offering $25,000 to the best HBCU band that posted the best cover of his new song "Hot" to various social media platforms TikTok, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, and Facebook. The Marching 100 won the challenge beating out more than twenty bands.
Yesterday Kevin Liles, president of 300 Entertainment, flew to Tallahassee to formally present the Marching 100 with a check for $25,000 check at their practice for the Honda Battle of the Bands.
