I wasn't even dissing the reggaeton beat. I actually thought it was dope. If we are doing a hip-hop battle a reggaeton beat is not hip-hop. Congrats to the winner @Armani . My pick was @Fury Beats, good mixing, solid drum kit selection, dope horn sample, real 90's NY hip-hop vibe.

Well fuck me, @Face Valid I swore your shit was 2Gs, good stuff man lol. Way to fake me out, drums sounded A LOT like 2g... damn.

For my Horns, I use BBC Orchestra and Kontakt Session Horns... No idea why or how I got past round 2, especially since it was not sampled... this was a beat I was fucking around with like a year ago and it matched the theme and I had no time to make a new beat so I remixed and edited a lil and did the whole... fk it, send it!

Good shit Arvin, Congrats man! Nice clean beat... nice mixing... nothing to say bad about it bout it. Rocked hard.

Congrats @Armani on the win! Also congrats at all who placed and entered.
Really liked both @Armani and @Delta_Nine both dope!
@Face Valid loves that too!

Bro, I said the same thing. I though face was 2good lol. Thx for the tip on using NBC orchestra. Definitely want to integrate plugins into my samples. Your horns sound very good btw. And that outta my mind vocals is sick. Congrats.

I struggled with that one big time, uploaded non sampled beat for war zone then realised how Shite it was, quickly hopped on you tube and sampled some guy with a Tuba and switched by beat, not that it helped of course
Well done all

Yeah was a bit simple bro, sounds like you might have rushed it. Not a typical beat from you I can tell that much.

BBC Orchestra, not NBC lol. I used mainly Kontakt session horns, only a bit of BBC for a lil background mixing. I have the free version, the full version is like $1k or some bullshit.

 

[Delta_Nine]

Like @Inside said, Congrats who did not use samples. @Armani congratulations. Ur killing it this season. My hat is off too you, sir.
@InsideOutBeats love the drums. Got a beautiful reverb on the snare.

Bullshit is correct. Auto correct must've changed networks on me lol.

Yeah deltas was dope, really got to get my boombap game up but every time I try it comes out NWA type shit. Anthouses shit was pretty dope as well... quite a few nice ones tbh...

 

[InsideOutBeats]

Anyone else get that ‘oh for fuck sake feeling’ in round one of warzone when you see it’s you beat and then the first 5 seconds of the others deflates you instantly

Last 3 Warzone first rounds I’ve been so lucky to draw with @2GooD Productions, @Armani and @crog85.

Simple answer, I need to get better so the draw doesn’t matter whilst all of you sleep for a few years, too much to ask?

 

[Delta_Nine]

@facevalid salute, you killing shit too. I see ur name up there all the time.

Yeah but no excuses here, that’s my fault, just well done to those that smashed it !

 

[DiFKiNCHi]

@Mahlhavoc As soon as I heard your intro in our round,

I knew I was finished. Good work.

 

[TWU]

Not bashing anyone's work, but it's hard to get a good horn sound without sampling.
Fade said this many times. Tough theme for me. Curious, any plugins that offer a realistic brass sound?

Spitfire Audio LABS Trumpet Fields...

The one @Mahlhavoc mentioned is actually quite good and surprisingly also from Spitfire:




Congrats @Armani on the win!

[Delta_Nine]
