WHAT:
A beatsmith battle royale in the Motor City will be bouncing to fresh beats when the premiere music producer battle, known as Red Bull Big Tune, hits Detroit this month. Detroit marks the fourth stop in a series of eight regional beat competitions designed to find the most talented U.S. producer with the next big tune. Twelve beatsmiths will be called to battle at each regional qualifier. Other regional battles will be hosted in Philadelphia, Houston, Chicago, Seattle, Washington D.C., and Los Angeles. The top 2 producers from each city will square off in December 2008, at the Red Bull Big Tune National Championships in New York City.
The winner of the finals receives custom studio equipment and an opportunity to collaborate with a recording artist of his/her choice in the prestigious Red Bull Studios/ Santa Monica. Last year’s Red Bull Big Tune winner opted to work with Young Buck. Other artists available for collaboration were Redman and Talib Kweli.
