Links no longer than 4 minutes long. If the judges want to listen of four minutes of epic music why not let them.

Make sure to put a tag of your Steemit username in the beat so we know you created it.

Post can include information on how you created the beat.

CHOOSE ONE OR BOTH BEATS FROM BELOW

Both these beats were obtained by myself so I give the contestants full right to distribute your final product in whatever way you deem fit. I want to see a bunch of Steemit original songs out there and what better way then to lay the foundation with beats you have rights to.

You can use one or both of these beats to sample from in your submission.
