Quoting the CEO of the Company: "We're looking for '90s-style hip-hop instrumentals that reflect street hip-hop and backpack hip-hop."
NOTE: You can submit recently recorded/produced tracks that authentically capture the era-appropriate sound and style of the references, OR if you have high-quality vintage recordings from the '90s (give or take a few years), they would love to hear those as well!
Please submit well-crafted Hip-Hop Instrumentals with a distinct '90s-inspired sound and style! This Company is looking for tracks that authentically capture the essence and energy of street Hip-Hop and/or backpack Hip-Hop specifically. Old-school motifs, gritty production, engaging beats, and solid arrangements with a good amount of forward development throughout are all needed. Instrumentation should be era-appropriate and stay in the general ballpark of the references.
