Beat Battle League Week #12

Week #12 let's gooooooooo. What an epic Week #11 and we got another epic theme for you all.

The judging panel of: @chiefmappster, @danyelk, @instrumentals, and @derekmiller are so pumped for this Week #12 of the League. Thank you to OG Tech Shaman @jphenderson for his continual support of the League.

We have such a dynamic and thriving community of incredible souls that are helping each other to the top. To help this mission, we created an interactive Discord community where you can connect and listen to epic music from the Steemit music community.

@beatseb, @nutela, @seveaux, and myself were in there a few days agolistening to some of last week's entries. @beatseb even blessed us with some epic guitar playing. The Steemit Music Alliance bot has low latency so it provides an epic music listening atmosphere.

Week #12's theme is:

California Living

Beaches, palm trees, the ocean, and that West-Coast vibe makes California Living well-known across the world. Various OGs in the music world have lived and used California as inspiration for their art. So why not us?

Remember this classic

This is a theme that leaves plenty of creativity and interpretation for producers.

You can go for that West-Coast brand of production. Or create music that would be ideal for California Living. Or many other options.

Let's see how what California Living means to the League.

The rules are simple in the Beat Battle League.

Just make an original California Living submission and use the #beatbattle tag and/or comment your submission on any Beat Battle post.

Remember the entries are judged on:

• Sound Quality: does this shit sound crispy, in speakers and headphones, is there cracking or recording errors? How loud can we play it before you notice quality issues? etc

• Technicality: what are the skills you displayed in making this beat? The technical aspects of the your craft. The layers and sounds do they match? How many? etc

• Creativity: how unique your entry is. How well it revolves around the universal theme? O shit we have never heard that sound before? Stuff like that.

Also, sharing the story about the creation of your art in your Steemit post helps the judging panel and community gain perspective and knowledge on yourself and the message you are sharing.

The prize pool is as follows:

FIRST PLACE WINNER: 65 Whaleshares + 20 SBD for a total of 85 Points

SECOND PLACE WINNER: 50 Whaleshares + 10 SBD for a total of 60 Points

THIRD PLACE WINNER: 40 Whaleshares + 6 SBD for a total of 46 Points

FOURTH PLACE WINNER: 30 Whaleshares + 4 SBD for a total of 34 Points

CROWD FAVORITE: 15 Whaleshares + 6 SBD + 5 SMOKE for a total of 26 Points

The crowd favorite can be awarded to any Steemian with any entry this week. So the first place winner could win additional rewards or it could be another Steemian. All depends on you the Steemit community :)

Thank you to all the members of the League so far and we appreciate all the time, effort, and resources you put into your entries each week.
