Nice, finally a contest for the emcees! this is gonna be dope
PEace to KO for hooking this up.
we rule
Can more than one emcee be on each track?
So many MCees are gonna come out of the woodwork for this. Can’t wait to see the shit that gets layed out. Amazing idea kev, nice job.
P.S – was driving home the other day, took a different route, and found a street called “Knottingham Street.” Still working on the stealing the street sign for you brah.
I can’t take the credit for this one. DJ K.O. came to us with the idea. I don’t see there being a limit as to how many emcees can hop on a try, but I would tell each emcee to submit their own track. Better odds.
Yo DJC! You gotta get me a pic of that sign! lol
can someone please explain the producer part more in full detail? we just post our song on this site that is similar to the old tightbeatz.com and hope to get picked or what?
Kev – There is a Knottingham Street in Manassas, VA too, dogg.
except it’s in the middle of the road of a busy street so unless you want to let me borrow a camera with mega zoom features….
dats alot of love…people stealing signs!!!! lol
this is a good look right here…(MaG throws hat in)
Dope idea Kev… I’m not about to rap but I needed the instrumentals for this dope ass album! LOL at the sign jacking.
MaG what up, heard “Reaganomics” yesterday, hot shit my dude!
Good lookin out Kev!!
Let the games begin…
KO in the buildin
Good shit
Yall can count on some crack from Notion Baby!!!
Keep up the good work y’all…
COUNT ME IN!
Yo, I need to know, is it cool if I send the pack over so you can just switch it over to an MP3. I have 2 other rappers with me on the track, and the guy that was recording us couldn’t get me an mp3 when we recorded it, and he’s outta town. Of course it’s a Pro-tools pack.
If needed, I prolly CAN find someone with Pro Tools around here, if I have to, I can try to get at 9th or whoever’s working at the studio to compress the shit into an mp3…
But I wasn’t sure as to whether or not you were gonna keep the accapellas on the same beats, or put em on something different.
Afsheen…send an email to PictureTheseRemixes@Gmail.com and I’ll answer your question(s).
@VATKEEZY…I’M MAAAAAD late but thanx hoemboy for bumping the joint and the love…
All love MaG! Got your email for MySpace, I don’t even go on there any more, holla at me on Twitter or hit me up at submit@therealfrequency.com and we’ll keep in touch. Peace.

It’s almost that time…be sure to get your submissions in!!
Good lookin out to everyone who has submitted tracks thus far…
Where do you submit the songs??? If you Rap.
Nevermind. Overlooked the rules.
I have been trying to submit a joint but gmail does not recognize the email adress.Is there another address i can send the track to?
