David Banner is offering his fans the ability to remix his hit single "Play," off his new LP, Certified.

The album, which dropped last week, is packaged with a unique type of software called UmixIt. It allows fans to experiment with their production and remixing skills. With the program you can add samples, play instruments, and even throw your own verse in the mix. You can even save your remixes as downloadable files.

"As a producer and artist, I've had the chance to work with the most talented hip hop artists in the business," said David Banner via a statement. "What I love about UmixIt is the chance to let others share the magic of making music."

Banner's Certified debuted at No. 6 on this week's Billboard 200 albums chart, selling 89,000 copies.
