Remember the entries are judged on:
Sound Quality: does the sound crispy, in speakers and headphones, is there cracking or recording errors? How loud can we play it before you notice quality issues? etc
Technicality: what are the skills you displayed in making this beat? The technical aspects of the your craft. The layers and sounds do they match? How many? etc
Creativity: how unique your entry is. How well it revolves around the universal theme? O we have never heard that sound before? And the amount of work you put into your post and entry.
Also, sharing the story about the creation of your art in your Steemit post helps the judging panel and community gain perspective and knowledge on yourself and the message you are sharing.

FIRST PLACE WINNER: 45 SMOKE + 8 STEEM for a total of 53 Points
SECOND PLACE WINNER: 38 SMOKE + 4 STEEM for a total of 42 Points

https://sandbox.mark.space/?7312208300 here is a digital portfolio of all the tracks I've worked on over the past few months of my engineering and vocal work.
O heck yeahhhh @tenpoundsterling much appreciation for taking part.
Sending you positive vibes
dude anytime.
Heya @tenpoundsterling , you should use Musicoin - it's a decentralised platform that is permanent.
I have tracks on music coin as well. just not this one.
tough but rewarding plunge into the unknown. and a great arrangement.
awesome track dude!
this track is something I wrote during a time of transition, something I am accustomed to unlike many others in my country. I wanted to give the listener an element of surprise at each and every 8 bars.
With that context I shall give it another listen later and see if the destination changes.
It kept me thoroughly engaged. Being able to change is definitely not a common sight these days, major props for putting that into music successfully.
I'm really loving these beatbattles!
So much great music & great vibes coming through Steemers!
Yeeeeeeew!
Ayyyyy love itttttt. Thanks for that positive energy o weeeeeeeeee
