Almost immediately after being introduced, the Cacheflowe/Brer Rabbit collaboration, Yo Soy Sauce, polarized folks. So when word of a remix contest surfaced last month, suffice to say, we were eager to hear what people came up with. Although Encanti ultimately took home the prize for “TurboBooty LabiaStep,” there were some…
