Vocalists, rappers, beatboxers, producers and musicians of any kind a new theme is ready to go for this week's Steemit Music League Challenge.
The SML Challenge was created to provide an additional avenue for the musicians of Steemit who are chasing their dreams to be highlighted and earn some additional recognition, feedback, and rewards.
As a result we also now have an awesome interactive Discord Channel for everyone to come together, interact, learn, from one another, and ask questions.
We also have SMA Radio where you can play music and listen to live DJing and jam sessions by Steemians such as @seveaux and @beatseb.
Also, this upcoming Monday starts a new community radio show called Music Today that discusses and highlights the different aspects of the Steemit music community.
From results from challenges and contests to discussions and interviews on different Steemian musicians, this radio show by @djlethalskillz, @seveaux, and @chiefmappster will be focused on the music community of Steemit.
It will start at 18:00 ECT [European Central Time] which is 09:00 Pacific Time [PT]/ 12:00 Eastern Standard Time [EST]. It will be broadcasted from SMA Radio in the Steemit Music Alliance Discord channel.

Here are the details of the Steemit Music League Challenge Week Eight:
This week's theme is:
New York Nights
New York City has that East Coast vibe and during the night holy smokes does the city come alive.
Something about those New York City lights that brings so much energy and life.
Let's see if the Steemit music community can try and replicate that same hustle & bustle and vibe that New York City has and see what epic music can be created.
These theme leaves a lot of room for personal interpretation but here are some examples.
Singers can channel that classic New York sound to showcase their music passion to the community.
Lyricists know all about that classic New York sound and the certain type of energy it provides.
Producers can create a beat inspired by the actual sounds of New York City or a beat that portrays that electricity and vibe of that New York nightlife.
