Congrats @SJAMBOK BEATS, dope beat man!

I just want to add that I apologise to all for my entry today. I sent it in and regretted it as I am so busy with life and kids right now that I barely get time to produce and ended up having a couple hours window for this and love being a part of this community. I have genuinely had a word with myself as I feel its kind of an insult to upload something I am not happy with myself just to enter a comp with you all.

Basically, wont happen again, don't care win or lose but we should NEVER upload a lame beat we are not happy with ourselves.

Curious if any of you have ever done this rushing in with a half arsed beat (due to time and life) just to be part of the beat comp? Kinda disappointed with myself for this one.

Fade's Dirty Underwear Review:

@5ivestar_nc - The vocals are a nice touch, it makes it really smooth. The kick is a bit too loud in the mix but I like the overall vibe of the beat.

@Armani - I didn't expect something evil from. I guess I'm RUBBING OFF on you. Good drum swing and evil sounds.

@Bandia Gotach - Evil! Kick is a little too punchy for my liking but it works well in this beat. I like the eerie feel of this. Maybe add just a small little something else for variety.

@Bangerz8888 - Good intro, nice buildup. Bassline comes in nicely. I like the melody but the drums could sound a bit clearer.

@B.Nevolent - Very hype with the drums. The lows are riding hot though but overall I like this a lot, good mix.

@dtay269 - I like the tune, I think I just expected to hear a nice 808 or low end come in to fill that out. Good drum work.

@Dusty B - Low end is good. Drums sound nice but I would take out some of the kicks in certain spots.

@guitardep - Good synth work on this one. I like the chord changeup, very nice. Drums sound good as well as the low end.

@GuttaTennekey - I really like this beat, good tune. I just think the drums could sound a bit more lively.

@InsideOutBeats - Good drum pattern. Piano sounds nice, low end fits well. I just think the strings should be taken out. Maybe a piano variation instead.

@NonxG - Kick and bass go really well together. Good drum pattern. The melody is solid. I also like the subtle vocals.

@Reg. Sized Pako - I like the vibe on this one. Bassline sounds really good. I would like to hear more of the drums rather than having it stop here and there. But it's good, I like the random sounds too.

@SJAMBOK BEATS - Drums smack hard, that's good. The other instruments sound good together, it's a good melody. Vocals are a nice touch. I think the drums could sit a little better in the mix.

@V.J. Retro - Good use of that sample. The piano is a nice touch on top of that. I like that you threw in some scratches too. Drums sit well in the mix. I think the only complaint is the melody is a bit repetitive.

@zepp - Good intro. I like the whole vibe of this beat, it's just the drums that throw me off a bit, they don't sound quantized, could that be it? Other than that I like it.
