The judging panel of @chiefmappster, @danyelk, @instrumentals, @derekmiller, and @andrewlyte thank you so much for all the time, effort , and resources that went into creating your entries.
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, interact, network and listen to epic music from the Steemit music community.
Come drop by with your music and/or instruments and play it on the SMA Radio created by @macchiata so there can be a shared listening experience. It is such an incredible experience to be able to jam and listen with Steemians in all parts of the world in real-time.

Also, besides the list of beats below we created a Soundcloud playlist of this week's entries as another avenue for a convenient listening experience.
Remember the entries for the Beat Battle League are judged on:
Sound Quality: does the beat 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? Holy smokes we have never heard that sound before? A creative video and/or artwork o yeahhhhh.
Without further adieu, here are the results from Week #14 of the Beat Battle League:

"What you wanna do do do..."
Play this on repeat o weeeee.
So dope how you play with the vocals on this one that hook you create is so catchy and creative love it.
And how you layer that "Oh City of Zion" sample throughout the track is incredible in my opinion. Adds that extra element to bring this track together. Props.
One of my favorite parts is at 1:08-1:17. How you play with and repeat those vocals of "Takeoff" and "Youth is..." is so freakin dope. You defintely cover all the details with this entry.
Thank you for your continual creations of high-quality entries to share with the community and this is one is no different. Thanks again for this one o weeee.

SECOND WINNER (TIED): @authenticbeatz with an average of 4.32 from the judging panel winning 7 STEEM and 45 SMOKE for 52 points.
"Separate the kings in order"
Ayyyyyyyy man this is freakin incredible.
How you chopped and slowed down the vocals is incredible. And how you arrange it with your instrumental is mind-blowing. It seems so natural and fits so well in my opinion.
This is such an ideal entry because it displays your music production skills and your creativity to produce a song with just vocals. And wow did you excel.
My favorite part is that "Know what it is" hook you created with the vocals. That is some fireeeeeee love it.
Appreciate you creating this masterpiece and letting the community enjoy it holy smokes you dominated this one. Props to you buddy.

Holy smokes what an incredible mood and vibe you create with this one.
Love that "ohhhhh" you have in complimentary fashion with the vocals.
And that autotune at 1:00 is one of my favorite sequences love how it serves as a nice transition and also highlight the vocals in a creative way.
Another one of my favorite sequences is at 0:26 when you bring that bass back in. It comes in so hard and crispy.
Appreciate the time and effort you put into this high-quality, creative entry. Much respect.

Woahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh what a freakin entry. Such a creative take on how to integrate vocals with an instrumental.
This is 4:34 of straight high-quality production with such creative variations of the vocals like "Voices," "I Know I Got," and "Breathe" throughuot the track
I absolutely love that harp (like at 1:06 for instance) you have integrated in this track. Elevates the frequencies of this track no doubt.
One of my favorite parts is when you switch up the nature of the beat at 1:13 whatever that sound is provides so much energy. One of my favorite sounds you use throughout.
Another favorite part of mine is at 2:12-2:24 such an epic shift in the beat and then you transition so nicely out of it with that harp. Props for that.
Really appreciate you coming in swinging with your first entry into League. This one is a strong impression no doubt :)
Thanks again bud.

Here comes the Community Favorite
Defintely appreciate how you stayed true to the vocals and let them stay unhinged throughout the song. Your beat helped make sure they were the highlight of the track.
Love that spirtual, knowledge laced intro. It sets the tone of the track immiedately.
And that tempo change at 0:48 real niceyyyyyyy.
Would have liked more variation in how you had the vocals in your entry. Maybe such chopping or rearanging of the vocals so that it makes the flow seemless.
Lastly, appreciate that dope, professional artwork you created to go with your tunes.
Thanks again for taking the time and energy to create this and share it with us. Gave us those vibrations with this one.
