Recently, @papa-pepper teamed up with @pairmike to bring the STEEMIT community a great opportunity!

---

For those of you who have already heard what @the-blockchain did together, you may already know where I am going with this.

I had been considering finding a way for more of us steemians to interact, collaborate, and create something together. Because of the fun that I already had with the Open Mic contests and with the formation of @the-blockchain, I wanted to make a song collaboration featuring the vocal and lyrical talents of any steemians that wanted to join in. However, I needed a beat.

---

As I considered my dilemma, I came across an exciting post from @pairmike.

ORIGINAL MUSIC : STEEMIT BEATS - December 2016

It looked like my problem had just been solved! @pairmike stated that the beats were free to use, so I quickly got with him on steemit.chat and we discussed a little more. Now, we are teaming up to bring you some excellent opportunities in the near future!

---

The first opportunity will be creating a steemit success song together.

Here's how it'll work. We will all be using the same beat to create our own original vocals. Whether you rap, sing, or just want to try, I'd encourage you to attempt to come up with some short, creative lyrics to record over this beat.

Ideally, I would like to make a video of us all creating a fun song together over this beat. Though our lyrical styles with vary, a consistant theme for our lyrics should make the song fit well together.

If all goes well, it would be nice to do this again sometime with another theme. The theme for this song will be "steemit success," and the lyrics should try to capture that feeling you get when a post on steemit does well and gets a nice payout!

Here's what you'll need to do to contribute:

---

• Listen to the beat.

• Write some original lyrics to it.

• Record a video of you singing/rapping your lyrics.

• Listen to the beat in headphones, so the only audio being recorded in your video is your vocals.

• Email your video file to [email protected]

• Wait for us to make and publish the full song video.

• Keep in mind that I may edit and shorten lengthy submissions because very few people will ever listen to a 20 minute song. Keep it awesome and relatively short, and it should go great!

Also, just to make sure everyone can enjoy our finished song (including my small children) let's keep it clean and avoid profanity and vulgarity.

WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, HERE'S OUR BEAT, COMPLIMENTS OF @pairmike:

---

What clever lyrics can you come up with to share how succeeding on steemit makes you feel?

---

Also, if you can only record audio and not video, you can still participate. We will just put an image in the video for your part featuring your username while your vocals are playing. You can even provide your own image if you wish!

Once all the contributions are in, @pairmike will adjust the final length of the beat and I will lay the lyrics over the top of it!
