What an epic collection of Childhood Memories inspired beats from the incredible Steemian producers in this Week #13 of the Beat Battle League.
@sirlunchthehost helped with judging this week and his additional insight definitely came in handy with the amount of quality entries of the Steemit producers and how close the judging came in.
This week we have ten (10) different Steemian producers creating entries based off of the theme Childhood Memories.
The judging panel of @chiefmappster, @danyelk, @instrumentals, @sirlunchthehost, @derekmiller, and @andrewlyte thank you so much for all the time, effort , and resources that went into creating your entries.
We have such a dynamic and thriving community of incredible souls that are helping each other to the top. To help this mission, we created an interactive Discord community where you can connect, interact, network and listen to epic music from the Steemit music community.
Come drop by with your music and/or instruments and play it on the SMA Radio created by @macchiata so there can be a shared listening experience. It is such an incredible experience to be able to jam and listen with Steemians in all parts of the world in real-time.

Also, besides the list of beats below we created a Soundcloud playlist of this week's entries as another avenue for a convenient listening experience.
Remember the entries for the Beat Battle League are judged on:
Sound Quality: does the beat 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? Holy smokes we have never heard that sound before? A creative video and/or artwork o yeahhhhh.
Without further adieu, here are the results from Week #13 of the Beat Battle League:
FIRST WINNER: @scuzzy with an average of 4.42 from the judging panel winning 18 STEEM and 65 SMOKE for 83 points.

Woahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
You keep bringing that fire o weeee. This is such an epic take on that classic Tom Jones from the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
Wow after that awesome intro you hit us with so many sounds especially from 0:24-:44 and then your take on those vocals take us to the next level.
The way you played with the sample and integrated into the foundation and flow of the beat is incredible in my opinion.
"Any requests?"
Make your beats longer :)
But for real the judges and myself thoroughly enjoyed listening to this production. @scuzzy is becoming a brand name fast
Appreciate you sharing your art for the community to enjoy. Mad respect.

SECOND WINNER: @seveaux with an average of 4.39 from the judging panel winning 9 STEEM and 50 SMOKE for 59 points.
Holy Narutooooooooooooooooo
This may be one of my favorite beats of the League so far o weeeee.
You dominated it with your constant change-ups, that freakin fluteeeeeeeeeeeeee, and that incredible amount of energy this beat provides.
Man when the beat comes in at 1:23 holy smokessssssssss so funky and fresh. It made everyone dance that I saw lsiten to this. And then you just take us to a new level with that flute at 1:54
The feedback across the board from the judges is that you dominated this theme with this Naruto-inspired beat.
And you brought it for all 5+ minutes straight. There is no downtime and I literally am dancing the entire time especially when that flute comes innnnnnnnn.
You came in and conquered this week props to you man. Thank you so much for creating this epic entry and sharing it with us. You definitely raised vibrations with this one. Congrats.

"Well, let's talk about the good ole days."
Man o man what an incredible feeling/mood you created with this entry.
Everything from your sample choices, the high-level sound quality, the clever arrangement of the instrumental, to the incredible artwork you created is top-notch in my opinion. The amount of work you put into this entry definitely can be seen and heard.
This was a favorite among the several judges because of the structure of this beat, how it kept us engaged, and the obvious high-quality production behind it.
It's so awesome how you have those kids laughing throughout the beat as another way to reinforce the theme. You definitely paid attention to all the details and executed on this theme so well. Much respect.

FOURTH WINNER: @a4v with an average of 4.28 from the judging panel winning 3 SBD and 35 SMOKE for 38 points.
Ayyyy another classic audio 4 video entry right here o weeeeeeee.
So incredible how your entry is both visually pleasing and pleasing to the ears. Your video adds such epic reinforement of the flow of the beat and defintely helps to keep the listener engaged throughout.
Love your take on the classic Final Countdown track. You stayed true to its foundation and added your special sound on top.
Some of the judges would liked to have seen more distinction from the original track as its influence its very clear in this one.
Nonetheless, in my opinion this is an awesome nostaglic entry that brings back such emotion both visually with your video and to the ears with your awesome production. Appreciate you.

What a smooth flowing beat holy smokes man.
You channel that Willy Wonka so amazingly with this one.
Love how strong those horns come in after the intro. Sets the tone of the beat so nicely and is so powerful throughout the beat in my opinion.
Also, love how you structure this beat with the intro, the classy 0:24-:48 section, a little slow-down, another classy vibe sequence, and then close it with that strong horn o my. What a way to end it.
With a longer version would definitely love to hear more of that really strong horn sequence at the end for sure.
Appreciate you being so effective and efficient in making this entry and sharing it with the community.
