This is a contest board, so I'll make a contest. Contest is whoever can make the best original beat or sample something into a beat I will include on my next mixtape.

I have a full project out, which you can check out to understand where I'm at lyrically and technique/style wise. It's a 20-track, free downloadable/streamable mixtape.

I'm trying to drop my next project around late August. Hopefully some nice beat-makers see this and want to get involved... also, even if you aren't a producer, check out the mixtape and let me know what you think.

I listened to the first few songs. Love the beats and how you stay true to them throughout the whole song, easy to understand and great content, it could get a little more complex but that's just a small critique. But I could definitely see myself listening to you, I'll listen to rest when I get some more free time later.

Awesome. Glad to see you're enjoying. There's a variety to the sound, themes, and styles of the songs throughout, so if you're looking for complex stuff duke it out to the end. The last leg of the tape has a mini-story (at least I intended it to be lol) throughout them the stuff over 9th wonder beats that you may enjoy. Let me know what you think if you ever get time to check out the rest.

I posted a link on the RHH board for the battle league, I assume that's how he got here.

Ya, BBallman posted in the RHH board which led me to here. Seeing that there were people trying to start a rap league I figured I may find some producers and hiphop fans to share my music with. RHH is has a lot of people with way too self-righteous opinions and a few people that, unfortunately, set the entire tone of the conversation over there so I'm always looking for other places that may be into hiphop lol. Go read some opinions and notice how many people are just plain haters on that board or don't have exposure to real-life situations where music is played and you'll have a laugh.

Nah dude it's like that everywhere. R/HH isn't alone on that sentiment. This board has a ton of people like that as well but I also feel like you're more apt to find chilled out people on this board. I dunno, I've been here for years and still love it.

Anyway, your music is nice, like BBall said you stay true to the beats. I can't believe you really made a song called 'Swaggin Ball Z' hahaha that had me laughing. I think the big thing for me with a lot of mixtapes is that the sound quality just doesn't come out sounding professional but I can't say that about yours at all. Everything is presented really well. I wish you the best of luck because there are few things harder to 'make it' as in this country than a rap artist, especially if you're white.

I feel like it might be heightened over there because it's a hiphop board and from that fact alone everyone feels like they must present some "I really know hiphop".

But thanks for checking out the music. It means a lot to me when people enjoy it. I just got a job straight out of college so I'm blessed enough to have stability as I pursue my music on the side, so you'll be hearing plenty more music from me.

If you're interested in keeping up with the sound and projects I have going on(I put out a lot of throw away tracks that don't make my mixtapes) you should check out this page

I listened to all of it earlier and it was damn good. Gucci Gucci I listened at least 5 times.

And I don't even listen to this kind of music... Great job!
