[bigrodthe1]

both of these are hard AF going to listen a few times before voting but I see that boy Leezy out to shock the world lol

 

[LauderdaleBoss]

Yeah Onigumo took this one.

its the more soulful sounding beat. lil repetitive tho, but I liked the sample

 

[NormanConnors]

interesting listen so far

 

[producingfire]

I want to wait for the sample post DBR sounds like a 112 record. 2 good instrumentals. Just because yall used a Soul sample it doesn't mean it has to be a soul record, and yall showed that.

Yeah Onigumo took this one.

its the more soulful sounding beat. lil repetitive tho, but I liked the sample

My sentiments, both well produced imo, but the bold was my deciding factor.

 

[DJ Mart-Kos]

The spanish guitar is really beautiful. I like the dark sadness of the track.

Leezy beat was nice to but didn't really like the bass

Def @DBR

 

[u mad son?]

this was very hard to pick from.

Ive heard Onigomu sample used before but cant remember what track, think its a wiz track? Either way great sample choice.

In the end I had to go with what felt easier on my ears ... mix wise and sound selection wise DBR merked that shyt .. that guitar is fukking fire ....

The fact that his track had soul without really using a soul sample is dope.

 

[clanarchy]

Loved the sample and @Onigumo beat, just think it needed some extra spices here and there, like maybe the original sample had some extra goodness you could have layered in to break things up a little.

@DBR ... damn if I could spit the last two years or so of my life down in a track, I'd do it on this beat...really feelin this one.

 

[How Sway?]

I voted for @DBR

 

[franknitty711]

Onigumo really has impressed. After a few listens the drums really got better to me. For creativity gonna give him the nod

@Onigumo

I liked the guitar beat but the swing of Onigumo beat is what got my vote, also felt more like a soul beat like someone else said

 

[bigrodthe1]

again both were great. Had to go with @Onigumo on this one.

 

[producingfire]

I probably listened to this battle 50 times over the week. I was hoping a sample post would give me clarity as, I can't tell what was sampled, although I can tell @Onigumo sampled or recreated a record.
I loved the guitar that @DBR used but I couldn't place it as a sample from a record, a sample post really would have helped on this front. DBR's drums are great, but I clearly know that Onigumo sampled from a record

For that reason my vote for this round goes to @Onigumo

 

[producingfire]

This was a great battle and one I replayed the most out of every battle this week shouts out to both competitors. Salute to @DBR and congrats to @Onigumo on the win.
