Multi-platinum superstar T-Pain has teamed up with leading music delivery service for professional DJs, BPM Supreme, and the company’s new online sample library, BPM Create, to introduce the “Wake Up Dead” Remix Contest. On a search to find three brand new remixes of T-Pain’s latest hit single “Wake Up Dead” featuring Chris Brown, contestants will compete for a chance to have their remix officially released on T-Pain’s digital music channels, as well as on T-Pain’s record label, Nappy Boy Entertainment.
As the latest release from T-Pain, “Wake Up Dead” featuring Chris Brown has garnered more than 10 million collective streams across all DSP’s and has been called “an intoxicating ode to spirited lovers who savor every inch of romance” by Billboard.
“Since the start of quarantine, T-Pain has yet to fumble under the duress of staying indoors,” said Billboard. “Despite not being able to record in the studio together for this go-round, Pain and Brown’s chemistry remains unmatched.”
The “Wake Up Dead” Remix Contest will accept submissions from today, July 8, 2020 through August 16, 2020. Contestants can use any production software and hardware they choose, and there are no limitations to genre or style of remix.
“I’m pretty damn excited to bring this remix contest to all of my fans with help from
my family at BPM Supreme and their new online sample library, BPM Create,” said
T-Pain. “We’re looking for the freshest new DJs, producers, and remixers to bring us mega dope remixes. Let’s see what you got!”
T-Pain will announce the three winners during a free livestream event on BPM TV inside the BPM Supreme platform on August 22, 2020 at 4:00pm PDT. The livestream event will go hand in hand with the official launch of BPM Create, and all contestants will receive 25 free credits to use on the platform just for entering the contest.
Last week, Babyy Chris 2K dropped the perfect summer vibe “No Harm”, featuring Kevin Gates.
With production from Mike Mixer (Gunna, T.I., Jacquees) and Cicero (Kodak Black, Lil Baby, Polo G), this single that has been making its rounds through Atlanta’s club circuit since the city’s reopening.
Making his major-label debut on Reckless Republic/Island Records, the MC has been working toward this for a while. “No Harm” is about the work he’s had to put in and a day in the life of a Rockstar. This debut doesn’t come solo, he receives the ultimate co-sign from Kevin Gates. Working with the platinum award-winning rapper and southern legend— allowed Babyy Chris 2k to cross this off his bucket list. This is only the beginning for the promising ATLien.
He brings a new sound with a memorable look, leaving you wanting more.A self-proclaimed fashion pioneer in Atlanta, Babyy Chris 2K birthed a lot of the “drip” seen around the city. Prior to mainstream acceptance of skinny jeans, you couldn’t really find them for men, he said; so, he resorted to shopping in the women’s section of True Religion for his jeans. Chris explains it’s deeper than labels, it’s a true taste for fashion.
It takes undeniable versatility to break through and win over fans in this current music climate. Born and raised in the Bankhead neighborhood of Atlanta, Christopher “BabyyChris 2K” Miller knew that he wanted to be a star since the age of 10. Growing up on the sounds of Michael Jackson, Lil Wayne, Jimi Hendrix, and Mick Jagger, just to name a few, have molded the sound that you are hearing through his music.
Be on the lookout for Babyy Chris 2K this year as he’s poised to take over the charts & become a household name all around the world.
Times are tough for everyone right now, but one group being hit especially hard is musicians. The majority of their revenue (one source mentions the average figure to be 28%) comes from live performances and merch sales made at those live events. Given the current pandemic, this revenue stream has turned virtually non-existent.
While there are creative concert alternatives popping up, they are not proving to be lucrative enough to make up for the revenue that is being lost right now. So how can you help our favorite artists during this time?
The first thing you can do is listen to your favorite artist’s music. The most direct method of support is actually buying their music, but if you don’t want to do that, streaming also helps immensely. While at first it might seem counterintuitive, streaming figures have actually decreased during the quarantine. This is due to the loss of daily commutes, multiple people in a home streaming the same things, and more time spent consuming other media forms such as news or television.
You should also take advantage of social media and make sure to follow and interact with your favorite artist’s social media accounts. You can also share your favorite musicians and songs with your followers and try to spread awareness of their music to get them more listens.
There are also funds being set up to help struggling artists that you can donate to. One charity, Help Musicians UK, which has over £2.5 million, is set to run out of money in just five days. This dire fact shows just how much need there is for assistance right now. Some other funds supporting musicians include the Sweet Relief Fund, the Musicares Fund set up by the Grammys, and the Artist Relief Fund.
And make sure to listen to and support your favorite artists right here on Dash Radio!
