Without further adieu here are the details of the Steemit Music League Challenge S2:R4:

This round's theme is:

1990's

That classic era, golden era of music and pop culture history, the 1990's.

Hip-hop was breaking into the mainstream with 90's hip-hop still being one of the most popular styles of music worldwide.

Pop stars and bands were dominating the music charts with the era bringing a certain vibe and positivity to it.

Rappers and vocalists can channel that 90's spirit into their entries.

Producers can create that classic 90's boom bap style.

However this 1990's theme resonates with you let's hear what creativity and inspiration you use to create these 90's entries.
