Back in the day, live beat battles among producers used to be one of the most cherished things in Hip-Hop but it kind of lost its way after the extreme digitization in technology.
But with the dawn of extensive options available on social media these days, the opportunities for such events are tremendous and we’re glad top producers are taking advantage of it. Tonight, platinum selling and GRAMMY award winning producers Swizz Beatz and Just Blaze have announced that they will do a beat battle live on Instagram. They made the announcement on the same service just minutes ago.
Exact time of the event is yet to be announced but the duo mentions it will take place on Friday night (Feb. 24). They also list a few rules they have to adhere to during the friendly competition. This will be fun.
