[I-ManuEL Beats]

Tight beats

 

[Armani]

@Armani You'll have to wait in line. Me and @NonxG 's rivalry is still unsettled.

Some dope beats in there, a couple forgot to add guitars.

I don't know which ones you're talking about but maybe one didn't. I hear guitars in all of them, some only had a small part later on in the beat.

If it narrows it down, they were both trap

We'll have to see when the results go up and we can all stand in disappointment shaking our heads.

I always go through the entries to make sure but sometimes it's hard to tell. Even when I don't really hear the instrument or it's 50/50, it's a pain to contact the person and have to wait to see if they can upload something else. So I usually just let it go and hope the votes reflect that.

This is why I mention in themes like this that "we MUST be able to hear the guitar" so it's not hidden or soaked with effects.

I didn't mean to trap it up. The drums just ended up that way, mane. I swear I'm boom bap . Voted for the R&B sounding one though. I wish I could've voted for like 6 of the beats on there, it was hard to decide.

[Iron Keys]

Voted for the R&B sounding one

Which one is that?

 

[Fade]

Congrats @Da Archangels! That beat was so smooth. Nice buildup and when you changed it up at the end that was dope.

[VVS]

Congrats @Da Archangels I liked that smooth transition.

My "personal" honorable mentions for best production/mix in no particular order:
@Armani - Good ol boom bap. I like the drum kit
@2GooD Productions - A little hectic but kept my attention
@BrianAkaBear - Kind of reminds me of "Go Loko" and I love that beat
@DeadBassRecords - Trap not really my preference but can't deny a bop
@GuttaTennekey - Nice West Coast vibe chill beat

[Da Archangels]

Sheesh...whenever I come in thinking I'm gonna win I end up losing and then when I'm not completely confident with my beat I end up winning...much appreciated Illmuzik fam! There were so many dope beats this battle my 5 year old son and I ended up making our own lists to choose from and we were both in the lab vibing lol

 

[Armani]

Awesome fucking battle, grats to archy and all. my favorite beat was by far @Primz 's Loco, it was 5 or 6 head n shoulders over every entry including mine.

@guitardep YOU HAD 1 JOB

 

[Armani]

Sheesh...whenever I come in thinking I'm gonna win I end up losing and then when I'm not completely confident with my beat I end up winning...
