The next competition will be from April 30 - May 1st! See the information below.

Signups

The signups will be on April 30th at 12pm ET/EST, and end around 8pm ET, or until we have enough contestants (whichever comes first - depending on the theme).
Voting will be for one day, on May 1st, where the results will be posted the same day.

Check out the Beat This! ranks: https://www.illmuzik.com/beat-battles/ranks/cat/bthis/

The Signup page is here (it will open up on the signup day)

Theme: RIOT
Time Limit: 2 minutes
*Vocal Track Allowed?: NO
**Vocal Snippets Allowed?: YES


  • You must make a beat that can be played during a RIOT!
  • Explosions, yelling, and siren sounds will help!

===========
* VOCAL TRACK ALLOWED? This means you can have a full vocal track with your beat (acapella, for example).
** VOCAL SNIPPETS ALLOWED? This means you can have vocal snippets in your beat (very short vocal parts, for example). This is where you can also have an intro with talking (like from a movie).
===========

Voting

If you are competing, you will be able to vote but not for yourself. DO NOT TRY TO CHEAT! I will be watching for cheaters. This means you cannot sign up under different names or get your friends and family to sign up either. If you are caught cheating you could be banned.

Voting Criteria

You can use whatever sounds you want, samples, synths, just remember to read the rules for the rest of the restrictions. What the judges will be looking for is originality, creativity, mixing skills and overall dopeness!

Beats

All the beats will now be displayed in a random order and without any names. All you will see is: Beat #001, Beat #002, etc. This is so that there is no favoritism when voting.

Rules

If you're not sure about the rules, read this thread.

If you have any comments, suggestions, or questions about the competition, please post them in here.

It's the way of the ill.

Meanwhile I've been doing the opposite and gassing mine.

Maybe today we break the spell.
Maybe we don't.

What are you guys talking about? You have to have a positive attitude with these things!

I predict that some people will place, some will not, and some will complain.

But I could be wrong.

nahhhhh it's the juju. unless you're actively executing a dickxhebition and 1v1ing the gods, the less u expect the stronger juju your beat will have. it's common sense.



rn 2GooD's beat has big juju but I might've jinxed it cause I mentioned it twice. idk tho.

Some for real fire in here! Almost all are nice but there's a few that really stand out! Good job everyone! Now I'm off to work. I appreciate you all and wish you a great day! In all honesty, I haven't had time to make any music for a while now so I've been using tracks I've made over the last 20-25 years. I have about 3500 to choose from... It's crazy cuz I eventually ran out of names and just started calling tracks Bilbo or Toeface or some $h!t so I get surprised almost every time I play something! :giggle::holyshit:hahaha

Lol I had the same problem so I started numbering them instead. And if I release something I'll give it an actual name.

Some tuff joints in this one...!

(Man, I really have to crank it up to -6LUFS next time, better call it "Loudness War Zone" :LOL:)

This is a form of dialect I cannot comprehend.

The fact I actually understand this fully 100%, I don't know whether to interpret as positive or concerning.

Also that I don't just simply understand it, but also believe in it.

Winners, losers, hard drug abusers, fixed result accusers,
some improvers, but then beggars cant be choosers.
