Can’t get enough of this newness! Shouts to CRL CRRLL​ & Big J. Beats on this incredible remix of “Cheers”, the first release on The Solution Records!!!

Maybe you got to the WAVE release party early and caught one of the 100 limited 6″ dub plates (b/w Mister Freedom’s super dope “Kevin Ware”) we gave away at last weekend’s Red Bull Sound Select​.
Regardless, the CRL CRRLL “Cheers (Big J. Beats Remix)” is now online for your listening pleasure! Big J.

Last year’s battle was a blast, with DJ Spyda T.E.K. edging out Cliff Cage and ten other ridiculously talented producers (recap here via HipHopRollCall.com) to take the 2013 title. This year a dozen producers will be battling for the crown, plus a ridiculous prize package featuring:
-$250 in Akomplice gear

The competition is always thick and the camaraderie is always off the charts, so head down early and catch Denver beat-making community shining on one of our favorite nights of the year. The main focus is on Denver’s scene and the battle, but we’re also excited to welcome some other ridiculous talent down for the night.
 
Chicago’s own Brandun Deshay, who’s produced songs for everyone from Danny Brown to Chance The Rapper to Casey Veggies, on top of ripping mics on his own, will be back in Denver after performing at The Solution Showcase last year to rave reviews. He’ll be joined by brilliant one man band and musical genius Fast Forw4rd, 2013 Beat Battle winner DJ Spyda T.E.K. & Denver mainstay Big J.

Once again, MAKE SURE YOU RSVP IF YOU’RE PLANNING TO ATTEND. You can RSVP for your friends as well but we need everyone’s name attending, sending your name +1 is not an option (if your name’s not on the list, you won’t get in, that’s the venue’s policy). Everyone is invited though, you can send as many names as you want as long as you submit them on time, and we’re looking forward to seeing Denver show out for a night of incredible music as we celebrate on of the musical geniuses of our time. 21+/7PM/$5 at the door with RSVP.
