BEATROOT 2018
BEATROOT 2018 and we are locked and loaded with the entire season. Also a new email dedicated to BEATROOT: beatroot808@gmail.com if you or your producer friend would like to enter BR hit up the email. Incase you don’t know what BR is you must be living under a coral reef, cause we been doing it for over 10 years. Trust me this producer came in to the shop diggin’ and never heard of Lightsleepers or BR? Maybe its arrogant of me to assume he knew but c’mon man, if you was really making music the natural hunger to play your music to someone other than your cat and moms would of forced you to find us…anyway hear are the rules/lowdowns:
- Battle consist of 6 producers with all original beats produced by them!
- Battle is head to head, randomly picked.
- Each beat is 2:00 minutes max.
- Producer must play beats off of laptop, beat machine, or controller.
- NO playing beats from phone or tablet (exceptions may be made but highly discouraged)
- First round, 1 beat each, 3 battles, 3 winners move on to final 4
- 3 losers battle in “sudden death” round to take the final spot in the final 4, 1 beat each.
- Final four, 1 beat each, 2 battles, 2 winners move on to FINALS.
- Finals, 2 beats each, 1 winner moves on to Grand Championships!
- Incase of a Tie, producer will play another beat, there can only be 1 tie, no second tie.
