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.

Hmm I though this week is going to be original beats without samples..

Yeah as one of the contestants last week we thought we would pivot and reward the people apart of this community. Kind of like an additional bonus prize. We have plenty of weeks my friend. The beat Battle League is ever going so years from now it will still be going. Working on the interactive leaderboard and ranking system now so that should be up this week.

But we can do that next week or the week following if thats what the community wants no problem at all. But if you want to make something with these beats our lawyers got you. The rights will be secured.
