Weird & Strange Hip - Hop Beat Challenge

Greetings NGers,

I shall be putting on the Weird & Strange Hip - Hop Beat Challenge. I have put together some of the finest, strangest & kookiest stuff I could find. I have made it very challenging this time around, ask anyone who has been in my previous ones. This challenge will be all about chopping up the samples & modifying/tweaking them.

We will start as soon as we have more participants & I will give you the sample pack location when we start & other information/instructions that will pertain to the challenge then. If you are interested, please sign up in the comments section on my news page below.

If you have decided, to enter I kindly ask you to please mention it on your news pages The more promotion WE have the better it is for all of US. I hope that you will learn & grow from this challenge & maybe make a few new friends along the way.

I wish the best to all of you & have a great time.

I would need someone to make me a custom-designed Soundclick page. I just bought it and they allow you to customize the format and style of the page with CSS coding. However, I know none of this.

I would be willing to pay approximately $10 to anyone who could do it for me. I'm looking for something decently flashy. Nothing animated. Similar to my NG Banner. Floral, colorful, attractive. This or this are examples of what I'm looking for. Obviously not as complex, but you'd understand the point.

I would also need a paypal purshase button on the page where people could easily buy or lease beats as well as my interview/bio on the front page.

Finally, I'd be helping you the whole way through and also be giving you access to my page, rather than have you code from scratch. They also give templates which you could start from. I understand that this isn't lots of money, again it's only $10 but it's good for a portfolio. I'd be giving full credit to you.

I really hope someone can help me out with this and that I'm not asking too much. If you think that this is too much and that you'd like to arrange something with me, let me know.

Going to post hiphop. Stay posted. It'll come soon and it's going to come often. All I'm going to post now is hiphop since it's badass. Expect modern as well as oldschool. Gonna be epic and it's going to get better and better, drastically.

Enjoy,

Frank

Hello one & all,

It was a few weeks ago when Fayde AKA (PoyzenJam) asked if Haywire Haywire if he wanted to duel beat battle against Joey Keys & IKONiC. He said " Sure no problem". In casual conversation with Haywire Haywire Fayde told him that they should battle Joey Keys & Frank, Omega graciously offered to host & set it up for us.

We all agreed that Omega Phantom should host and set it up for us since he previously set one in early on in the year.

Been writing loads of electro lately. Not too many big projects. I've been busy learning how to do certain tricks; make basses, leads, transitions. I've just been figuring out loads of new things and listening to new artists. I even started listening to Blink 182 again after having downloaded their Discography.

I'm really excited that some of my upcoming tracks are going to really hit it off here on NG.
For starters, I have a collaboration with Morgan King that we've both been working extremely hard on. Although I'd consider it at this point more of a 70-30 collab for him, I've done some nice things and added some great parts of mine own to the track. It's a dark dance / psytrance collab right now and we're aiming for about 7 minutes or so. Seeing as it's already about 5 and a half minutes. We still have a long way to go.

-Frankie
