Beat Battle League Week Nine: Rap Crypto
One of the OG's of Canadian 90s hip-hop, @vandigital, inspires this week of the League. After six (6) awesome entries last week, we are excited to change it up this week.
In Week Nine, the vocals of Rap Crypto are provided as the sample material to create entries based off of. Rap Crypto is an epic cryptocurrency anthem created by @vandigital and is a great avenue to attract new individuals to crypto and Steemit.
Through this synergy we can help attract new community members and help a current member out by making the most epic remixes of the vocals of Rap Crypto.
As a result, we are giving the community extra time to create the entries and will be accepting entries for Week Nine until Monday night, October 16. That gives the community ten (10) days to create some epic entries showing what we can do with Rap Crypto.
The judging panel of: @chiefmappster, @vandigital, @danyelk, @instrumentals, and @bambam808 are so pumped to for the change-up for Week Nine of the League. Thank you to OG Tech Shaman @jphenderson for his continual support of the League.
Without further adieu, here are the details for Week Nine of the Beat Battle League:
The rules are simple in the Beat Battle League.
Just make an original submission remixing Rap Crypto's vocals and use the #beatbattle tag and/or comment your submission on any Beat Battle post.
Vocals by OG @vandigital. The video for Rap Crypto is provide below as more perspective into the message of the song.

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

nice work, it fits very well... gonna be a challenge for me here... still will K.O you but yeah I need to keep motivated and in warrior mode to get it done :P whats the bpm btw ?
@seveaux Damn champ..producer this producer that but can't even measure a Tempo? lOl
It's 90 you sonic warrior. (;
I just submitted my entry bro, congrats on the steemit league challenge, we're chilling at top 3 all day everyday
I think it's a little faster or I have a bug in the software
I measured it manually on cubase (tapping), the vocals are synchronized to the beat and it works just fine. The algorithm of detecting the Tempo in daws can be buggy, since the wave peaks of the rap flow can be faster in some sections, and that's where the software fails to distinguish the difference between the beat peaks and the vocal peaks. I'm almost done with the beat, today and tomorrow I'm about to master it...you better hurry up if you want to knock me out champ, cause once you hear mine you might feel knocked out yo self. ☺ Cheers M8
aaahhh cubase! awesome DAW used it myself a lot in the past but since I got myself a macbook I took it to logic.. I had the licensed software with a dongle at the time... was very annoying such dongle to be honest.. but awesome software for sure
It's still has the dongle, and if you use a PC like I do it won't annoy you at all. (; I use to watch some peeps working with logic back in the days and from what I've seen it is a pretty descent software too, I just stick to what I know best. You know? At the end of the day is not what you use and have, but what you do with it. ☺
It works almost exactly the same actually ;)
O heck yeahhhhhhhh you are on it love it and love hearing you enjoy the switch-up.
love this beat !
thanks
About your question from this link
Here is my reply : jmn13
About this battle I am on disadvantage of sound quality and technicalities. I think it is the time to use these electro remixing devices. But I don't know how to do those things..
Is it possible to use my Mobile Phone and I can remix some electrobeats?
But if not I will continue to my beatbox hahahah.
It is very nice to have this contest @chiefmappster very helpful for the development of the community . So amazing to be part of this amazing talented community. Much love. Maximum Respect.

Ayyyyyyy heck yeah :))
Can't wait to hear what everyone has in store o weeee.

I will have to take a pass on this weeks beatbattle @chiefmappster
I dont do anything related to vocals with lyrics in my music.
You guys might find this a bit strange, but my focus is psychedelic music that speaks for itself. The psychedelic genres are often focused on guiding the listener trough a story without the need for lyrics to encite moods or feelings.
See you for next weeks (hopefully less lyrics focused) beatbattle!

Sounds good my friend.
And absolutely I love that you can storytelling just with sounds it is truly epic.
Looking forward to you coming back next week it won't be vocals :)
God bless.

Cool track, but I wouldn't know where to start with this one. It is a bit too far from my style. Good luck everyone.
Appreciate your words bud. You are more than welcome to make a beat for Week Four of the #smlchallenge . The theme is Space Elevator Music so maybe that might be more up your alley.
