SMKA x CL Crib Notes = songwriting competition
July 30th, 2009 by Rodney Carmichael in Music news
The first SMKA Productions mixtape, The 808 Experiment: Vol. 1, was so big nearly every MC and his granny is clamoring to jump on the re-up.
So we partnered with SMKA, illroots.com and DOPE Couture to give artists (singers included) that opportunity.
HOW DOES THIS WORK?… very simple. Record an original song to the SMKA beat, “Back in My Younger Days” and if your song is chosen then you win free gear from DOPE Couture and a song on the 808 Experiment: Vol 2.
STEP 1: Download the Beat
“Back in My Younger Days”STEP 2: Write a dope song
STEP 3: Record that dope song
STEP 4: Submit the recorded song in mp3 format to smkaproductions@gmail.com
STEP 5: WIN free gear from DOPE couture and a spot on the 808 Experiment: Vol 2
You may recognize the prominent vocal sample on the beat as Bootie Brown’s intro from the Pharcyde’s 1993 classic, “Passin’ Me By.”
Don’t let Oct. 1, the contest deadline, leave you in the dust. We’ll be cherry-picking some of the entries between now and then to post on Crib Notes just to give entrants some feedback and added exposure.
Stay tuned.
