Forward for Contemporary Hick Hop

Post by sansharbour » Wed Mar 27, 2019 5:40 pm

Happy to have my track My My My 100 make the cut on this style listing


https://soundcloud.com/don-lougheed/my-my-my-100


CONTEMPORARY, HICK-HOP INSTRUMENTALS are needed for a hard-working Music Licensing Company that's gearing up for NASCAR season!

They’re searching for a bunch of Mid-to-Up-Tempo Instrumentals that combine COUNTRY sounds and HIP-HOP beats, and would fall within the general stylistic ballpark of the following references:

“Long Hard Times to Come” by Gangstagrass featuring T.O.N.E.-z

"Can I get a Outlaw” by Ryan Upchurch

"Country" by Upchurch X Adam Calhoun X Demun Jones

Although the references have vocals, please submit Instrumentals only for this pitch.

Please submit original, well-crafted Instrumentals that have a noticeable Country feel and vibe, fused with a fresh and current Hip-Hop approach. Your production should be polished, your beat should be banging, and your melodies should be easy on the ears. Utilize instrumentation that tastefully melds Country and Hip-Hop elements together. Electric guitars, acoustic guitars, banjos, fiddles, and even pedal steel are all elements that could work for this pitch.

Your submissions should be about 90 Seconds long, give or take. Non-faded, buttoned/Stinger endings will work best. Do NOT copy the referenced material in any way, shape, or form. Use it only as a general guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. Do NOT submit any material with unauthorized samples of other artists’ music, sounds, or any other form of media. Broadcast quality is needed.

This company offers an EXCLUSIVE deal. You’ll split any upfront sync fees 50/50. They’ll get 100% of the Publisher’s share, and you’ll get 100% of the Writer’s share. You must own or control 100% of your Master and Copyright. Since this is an EXCLUSIVE deal, please be sure the material you submit for this pitch is NOT already signed with any other Libraries or Catalogs. Please submit as many Instrumental Cues as you’d like, online or per CD. All submissions will be screened on a Yes/No basis - Short Critiques only. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PST) on Tuesday, March 19th, 2019. TAXI #Y190319HH

Wow - congratulations - that's a cracking track - perfect for NASCAR! Can you shed some light on the recording? Is that all live?

Surely that's gotta get signed!

Thanks Chris and Andrew for lending an ear

I hope it gets signed too

Andrew as for the recording

I used a few Logic drummers all playing different things at different volumes
sub gritty electronic bass, real bass, dirty harmonica, a beat up old 12 string tuned to open D tuning, Acoustic 6 string, electric guitar , orange tree lap steel

Not too much eh

Appreciate you shedding some light - those drums sound great and there's plenty of presence in the recording as well (to my ear) - nice job!
