KWTracks: "Sunshine" Contest

If you know anything about your boy Twaan here, you know my love for hip hop is all about the beats. Yeah, occasionally I'll be drawn in by dope lyricism or a unique flow, but what really catches my ear is the genre's production. Tough snares, deep kicks, a bouncy bassline, and a crisp guitar riff is heaven to me. So, it was only a matter of time before I got into hip hop production myself. Recently, my MPD, vinyl collection and I have been tough at work to strike something golden. "Sunshine" was my first piece I was genuinely proud of, and I've thought of a perfect way to share it with you all.

After the jump, I've streamed the "Sunshine" instrumental with a free download link. Although I would also appreciate any feedback you'll send my way, the main purpose of KWTracks is for our rapping viewers and/or those who wish to be displayed on KWT. Listen, download, and spit your best bars over my beat, submitting your version of "Sunshine" via email to submit@kidswastingtime.com or by commenting the track's link below. Let us know you've submitted a KWTrack by tweeting us @KidsWastingTime with the hashtag #KWTracks. Exactly one month from today, I'll handpick the best, making he or she the newest addition to the KWT post rotation as well as giving the winner a spot on the still-in-the-works KWT Compilation Mixtape. Sounds good, right? What a perfect way for some of y'all email submitters to catch our eye. Hit the jump to get started, and good luck!

UPDATE: Due to a small number of submissions, we'll be extending the KWTracks "Sunshine" Contest another month throughout July 4th. That's as generous as I can be, though, so make sure those of you interested hit us up with your version prior to then. Hit the jump for the beat and the free download.
