    hi all,
    as some you know, i work in pr for my day job. one of our clients is putting out a new album, and i am helping get the word out. as im also helping to manage their social media, i thought id see if anyone was interested in the following:

    weight band contest.

    How do you play?
    1. Simple. Here is their new song, "Common Man" -
    2. For the producers, rappers, whatever here at @CreativeSXN , I'm interested in your best mashup, remix, etc. The most original and inspired fresh cuts on this will have their new version shared via social media - and you will be given credit. At a later date, I will encourage participants to post their submissions, and encourage their friends to Like/Favorite their tracks. So there's an opportunity to have your work exposed and presented.... at least online :p
    3. For the initial submission period, I am looking for new cuts/takes by February 7, 2018.... fyi
    keep in mind: this band is def not hip hop, they're strictly 70s americana rock..........hence you will need to finesse...... but i trust enough of you know the gems created by Rick Rubin and Eminem, that this will not be a problem.

    Thought this could be a fun opportunity for a few of you. Let me know. Andy

    Just seeing this. @Cyreides If you got the time and you down to work, send me the stems to the beat you posted on here. I want to change the drums and loop one of the synths you got going at the beginning and add some more s--- to it. If you dont have my email anymore I'll resend it. Thanks for the alley-oop, @Papa Andy.

    Dope! Honestly I think the sample fits with the song well.

    Also, question for someone who is musically inclined: is there an easy way to figure out the bpm of the original song? I have a stupid idea and extremely basic audio editing skills.

    yes, but remember another factor is self-promotion. if a producer/artist gets their submission a big support group, theyre in

    regardless! always into ur sound.

    also where @LasiK - he alive?

    good thought - i'll ask. however, don't count on it to get started. this version has a lot of instrumental throughout.
