What a battle this has been!!
More submissions, crazier beats, sicker styles. Last night we got to the studio, put the stuff on and concluded again that this shit ain't easy :). You guys have managed to surprise us once more.
However there can only be 3 winners and here they come :
1 ) Es-K for overall quality of his beat. Everything works, the kick is punchy, there is melody, there is air and last but not least.. there are change ups and playfulness to it. MR. Es-K gets the SHIRT. Very impressed we are indeed.
2 ) Mr.Frodo - beautifully groovy drum sequence. Very smokey - analogish feel. Some trippy jazzy cafe shit right there. Original chopping style. Loving it.
Tasteful.
3). Boyboy - simple, modest, original. Loving the eastern almost Asian-like vibe. Eclectic. Seems like a finished track. Not a beat battle joint. This man knows how to build serious tracks with just a few colors on the canvas.
And there is so much more good stuff left. Some honorable mentions go to . Formal and Funky Drummer with their original drum work. Carpe Diem for great mixing and tight drumming. Phil - great tape like snare compression...RAPPIO - busy innovative chops...Sabama - clubby energetic groove. TheMind - open minded approach. Solecisme - nice off beat seqeuncing. Dirty.
Thank you all. Great work.
