Beat Battle League Week Five [Community Favorite Added this Week]
What a blessing Steemit and this awesome Steemit music community is.
Holy smokes that aren't that many places in this world where something like the Beat Battle League can survive and thrive.
But lucky or us for whatever reason we have Steemit, so let's take full advantage of this amazing platform and inspire some real, positive change.
Week Four had six (6) epic entries with @seveaux taking down the crown in back-to-back weeks. @shakazula is climbing up the rankings fast.
Will anyone catch the almighty @verbal-d?
Only time will tell.
And with the introduction of the new cryptocurrency POINTS, the Beat Battle League is elevating.
Now with its one cryptocurrency mixed with Whaleshares and SBD, the prizes for participating in the Beat Battle League is at an epic all-time high.
All POINTS earned by League members get them the chance to earn real cryptocurrency, a chance to win the Championship belt, and take the down the ultimate Steemit Music League Championship and celebrate in Vegas for a week.
That's right by being apart of the Beat Battle League you can win in many ways.
Besides feedback and networking, the League offers a chance to build your resume, earn cryptocurrency, set up your financials for the future, and have some fun and maybe end up with a Championship belt and a trip to Las Vegas.
Every month the top three (3) in the Beat Battle League have the option to redeem their points for POINTS. they can either keep their points and maintain their lead or redeem them for POINTS and reset their score back to 0.
This gives the League members flexibility to fund their daily lives and set up their future for long-term success.
That is what the Beat Battle League is about.
Long-term success for Steemians.
The current music industry is set up for you all to be exploited and used in a short amount of time and then throw you away.
Our goal is to not let that happen.
We have a vast experience and knowledge based from our team of @chiefmappster, @jphenderson, @enginewitty, @vandigital, and @derekmiller. You never know @officialfuzzy might grace as with a special guest appearanc, we are working on it ;)
Shit, @vandigital was/is one of the OG hip-hop icons of Canada and you get to have him judge your submissions each week (if you didn't know this check out his page, the dude is an OG and lives in freakin Malaysia, EPIC).
That alone is worth all the time and effort for your entries.
Let alone all of the other opinions, fun, and other benefits you get from competing in the League.
This week we are adding something new, the Community Favorite.
The Community Favorite each week will be awarded 10 SBD and 10 Points and is determined by the League member who gets the most support from comments and upvotes on their submissions both on their original post and their comment on Beat Battle League posts.
The goal of the Community Favorite is to reward the Steemian who Steemians love the most and also encourages the Steemit community to actively participate in the judging process.
This is a community built by the community for the community so doesn't that make sense?
We think so and we are so pumped to add another epic aspect to the League this week. As you can tell we like adding benefits and prizes.
A lot.
So join the League now, it's not too late as the first Season runs until the end of the year with the winner of Season One of the League announced on January 2, 2018.
Look at @seveaux he came in two weeks ago and has already risen to tied with @shakazula for second place in the standings at http://www.beatbattleleague.com/ . It wasn't easy but it shows you it can be done Steemians. @seveaux might be in Vegas in a few months celebrating. Who is going to stop him?
This week the universal theme is:
Pain & Sorrow
One of the aspects of life that takes so many humans down in the form of depression and lost souls is pain and sorrow.
That shit hurts.
Life is hard and we go through pain and sorrow sometimes every day to sacrifice for the greater good.
Or sometimes we are just selfish and the Universe is trying to get our attention.
Either way pain and sorrow is an emotion and mindset we deal with as humans all too frequently.
So what better way to help us deal with it then makes some epic beats to help us.
So let's see what original beats you all can create off of the universal theme this week of pain and sorrow.
Should be an interesting ride :)
The beats of this week will be used (if you want to opt out just let me know) in the Steemit Music League Challenge Week Two for Steemians to create their entries off of.
Just another way to get these dreams going and encourage a community of mutual aid.
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.
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: 10 SBD for a total of 10 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 :)
This concludes this announcement post for Week Five of the Beat Battle League. We are so excited to be apart of this community and strive to keep bring you all the maximum benefits and value we can.
Thank you all again for everything you do, you really bless us with your hard work, skills, and determination.
Thanks again.

So this is a copy and paste from my reply on week 4 which was supposed to go here...lol..had multiple windows open sorry...
So I just got approved yesterday for my Steemit and Dtube accounts and stumbled on this while browsing the music section. I have followed through a few of the links, but couldn't figure out exactly where submissions should go for the #beatbattle. I did upload a video to dtube early this morning that actually goes right along with the theme for this week. I admit this beat had nothing to do with the contest when I made it last week, but it seems appropriate and figured I would reply here since it seemed like a good place to start with the community participation.
https://dtube.video/#!/v/a4v/ef4b7i3o
Let me know if there is anything I need to do different or if I should reply somewhere else. If I am too late for this week or need to wait for a new league/challenge that is fine also... I am a less than 24 hour old member so forgive me if I am coming off like a noobie lol. Ok I'm off to play some of these other submissions. Good luck contestants!
i really like this video man and the beat is super nice too you got that nice compression on the kick which I respect a lot! Nice work on this! the melo is nice too although I think you could power it up a little with some extra synth layering but that's just my opinion.. you're creative, video is something I never really did, I like this
O snap no problem my brother no problem.
Steemit has a learning curve just like anything in life so defintely here to help out in anyway I can.
Have you downloaded Discord yet? It's an app that a lot of Steemians use to communicate easier.
That is perfectly fine and for the future you can just comment your beat on any post that has Beat Battle in it and it will be marked down.
Appreciate you, thank you for caring.
Namaste
Thanks a lot, much appreciated.
You're welcome buddy, here is the link: https://discord.gg/5Qr86Q8 :)
This is one hack of a challenge... I need to find an emo on the streets to learn me some pain and sorrow for this :P I am doing my best for this one man it's not easy to bring such an emotion into vibrations brrrr nice challenge! Bring it on all! let's be Cre8!/3!
Hahahahahhaah rightttttt.
Greatness adapts my brother :)
I am sure next week will be more upbeat ;)
See what you got buddy.
Vegas is calling :)
with such little time last week and laptop gone for reparation and birthday etc and the theme I am amazed I actually got something credible in my ears for week 5, thnx it was just on time man the whole sunday evening and night was spend on that haha damn dedication to try to win that vegas trip haha:D thnx buddy
Amen my brother amennnnnnn such dedication does not go unlooked that's for sure.
And wow what a week you had, thank you for this.
That video man with your beat almost made my cry. So impactful and especially myself that really hit home. Like how did you do that? Such an incredible beat with sounds that matched the theme and this video. And then the video reinforced everything the beat was doing.
I will have to re listen to it in a little once I am calmer.
Thanks again for making this holy shit, you changed my life.
God bless.

Well, just try to do something different from time to time, that keeps the inspiration high and you don't think about kind of rules in music I guess... plus a little green smoke from the shop here at the end of the street can give a boost, but not too much for me haha.. that video I searched for a video to use for free searching ''sad video'' but it just happened to fit nicely with that sound I think... that's what I think... it was a pretty intense night to get it all fixed for the deathline actually because I had very limited time last week hehe.. Thanks for the appreciation mate
For sure my friend and holy smokes did you get it in time and kill it.
Yeah it sometimes just a search for a video but that changed my life seeing that video. So thank you for that.
I am right there with you ruiles in music is odd to mee to which is why we try to limit the rules. I hate even having a deadline ya know.
And I need to visit those shops my friend o weeee ;)
God bless.
