Beat Battle League Week Ten
Holy smokes what an epic Week Nine with eight (8) incredible entries. Week Ten is poised to keep the producers on Steemit on their toes.
The judging panel of: @chiefmappster, @vandigital, @danyelk, and @instrumentals are so excited for the switch-up for Week Ten of the League. Thank you to OG Tech Shaman @jphenderson for his continual support of the League.
The Beat Battle League will be accepting submissions for Week Ten until October 25 at 11:59PM CDT / 4:59 UTC with the winners being announced on Thursday, October 26.
Without further adieu, here are the details for Week Ten of the Beat Battle League:
The rules are simple in the Beat Battle League.
Just make an original Grime submission and use the #beatbattle tag and/or comment your submission on any Beat Battle post.
Grime is a style of music from the U.K. and mixes electronic music, hip-hop, and dance hall (among many other influences). It is blowing up in the United Kingdom and Europe with Wiley, Skepta, and JME being brand names. Drake is signed to JME and Skepta's label BBK (Boy Better Know).
The music brings such energy and is usually around 130-140 BPM.
Below are a couple videos for inspiration.
Here is an example Grime instrumental provided for more perspective into Grime. It also provides an awesome example of a video for an instrumental.
Here is one of my favorite Grime tracks by epic producer and Grime superstar JME (not to mention how epic this video is):
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.

Peace Yall!
Hope u all doing well, Here's my entry for this week's Beat Battle League Week 10
The approach for this one was def keeping the theme in Mind "Grimey" blending electronic music and Hip-Hop with an experiment to bring a fresh sound hopefully! haha
Vocals were needed to make it more engaging and not repetitive Busta Rhymes Vocals just fit perfect to build the vibe... and hopefully it will make u Turn to that Funny face and Scream YO YO YOOO YO WOO HA!!! haha
I tried to upload to #dsound.audio as this is the place i'm using from now on to host my work in support to the block chain technology and the growth of this beautiful eco system, but unfortunately after several trials of failed upload attempts i gave up and uploaded it on soundcloud. if anyone using DSound and know a way around upload fails please let me know...
OK enough with the talk and Let your Speakrs go Booom! Hope you Enjoy it, Kudos!
O heck yessssssss. Appreciate you. And holy smokes what epic cover art that is. Multi-talented o weeeee.

I hope your gonna run another competition for the mcs to rap on the winning beat!!! 'The chat' is a big part o grime!
