PRODUCERS PLEASE NOTE:

Hooks can be on your beats, but ABSOLUTELY NO SINGING OR RAPPING ON THE VERSES.

You will be judged 1-10 (10 being the best) on the following categories:

• Originality (something new and fresh, doesn't sound like anything out there).
• Marketability (can the song be on the radio or on an album? Can you hear someone spitting over it?)
• Quality (sounds are crisp, separation in the mixes; low end is thumping, etc.)
• Usage of Elements (any samples, live instruments, etc. are placed within the drum pattern efficiently)
• Overall Potential (does this producer have what it takes to get to the next level?)
