Mama Said Knock You Out Remix Project: Week 9

On Week 9 of our Mama Said Knock You Out Remix Project, we get to the first sample free track from the album, “Milky Cereal.” Initially I thought about leaving this track out of the contest, but it’s such a great song. So what we’re gonna do this week is leave the creativity up to you. Use whatever you want to make this remix… but remember, it IS a remix, so we want to stay true to the original. We’ve included the OG “Milky Cereal” here if anyone wants to sample it or use it as reference. There’s no telling what the judges will decide to pick this week… we may decided to pick the beat that best duplicates the original. Who knows! This week should be fun for everyone though.

Hit the jump for the complete rules for the contest and the links to the samples you will need for your beat. Final remixes are due next Sunday, March 14th @ 3:00pm Eastern Standard Time. Good luck!

Here’s how the contest will work… for 14 weeks, we will hold a weekly contest… 14 weeks/14 remixes. Each Sunday we will provide the sample to be flipped for the week. You will have one week to complete your remix. Entries will be taken until 3:00pm Eastern Standard Time the following Sunday. For those of you overseas, make sure to get your clocks right. Once all beat entries have been accepted, the judges will take the next week (or more) to listen and comment on those beats. At the end of each week, I’ll post up the judges’ comments, their picks, and the winner for the week.

To submit your entry: Convert your finished remix to MP3 format and upload via the web form posted below. Please include the name you wish to be credited with in the mp3 file name, along with the name of the remix. For example: Tokyo Cigar – Boomin System Remix.mp3. In the file description, please include your contact information so we can email you if you have won. All files uploaded to the system will be displayed below as well and can be streamed for everyone to check out, so there is no need to upload your remix to other file sharing sites and leave links in the comments. DO NOT put your links in the CBOX. A lot of times, producers are eager to upload their remixes as soon as they finish it and realize they forgot to tweak something. Please take the time to make sure you are submitting your final version before you upload to the system. If you do end of making changes to your remix and need to upload another version, make sure you name your mp3 with the word FINAL at the end (ex. G.C. – Boomin System Remix – FINAL.mp3). If you do end up uploading multiple versions of your remix, we can not be held accountable for listening to the wrong remix as your final version.

Oh, which brings me to one more rule… ONLY ONE REMIX PER PERSON ALLOWED

Other than that, just make sure you sample the song provided each week and that you construct your remix so that an emcee will be able to hop on it later on. You can use any other elements you want in your beat (other samples, original instrumentation, etc).

There is no registration process and anyone can enter at anytime.
