CBS and the Grammys have launched a contest called "The Gig of a Lifetime" in which they give "aspiring musicians across the country the chance to perform in front of a live audience during GRAMMY Live, three days of live coverage and events leading up to Music's Biggest Night," according to a press release.

That sounds like a lot of PR mumbo-jumbo that we would typically ignore, but here's the kicker: One of the many nominated "aspiring musicians" is Lil B. Which means there is a chance, however slim, that Lil B will perform at the 2013 Grammy Awards or a Grammy-affiliated event. Assemble the taskforce.

The contest is decided through a voting process, which began on January 10 on a Grammy/CBS Facebook app. Lil B is one of the nominees in the Pacific region, and if he advances, he'll take part in a final round of voting that runs from January 17 to the 24. The winner will be announced on January 29 and brought to Los Angeles "to participate in GRAMMY Live events, culminating in a live performance in front of an audience and webcast to fans around the globe."

So it doesn't necessarily mean you're going to see Lil B up there on stage grinning with Taylor Swift, but hey-- it's one small step for Lil B, one giant leap for BasedKind.

The Grammy Awards take place on February 10, with scheduled performances from Rihanna, the Black Keys, Taylor Swift, Mumford and Sons, fun., and a bunch more. Vote for Lil B in the "Gig of a Lifetime" contest here.

Also, just want to point out this Lil B gem from 2011: "so who won grammys and for what def wxcited to hear the full list can somebody tell me? - Lil B".
