The Grime Forum EP

[Hij]

After being suggested and getting demand it is coming soon :) I know how long people can be, so as yet, there is not a deadline or a release date, but just know the wheels of motion are in place (free download promotional tool).

We also want to feature 2/3 full length beats from up and coming producers (as grimey as possible). As for the up and coming producers this is open to anyone who feels they can bring some levels to the table.

Please email the beat to hijimi@gmail.com and a 11 man judging panel will be selected from here and the best 2-3 will be put onto the EP.

There are also a few other good things coming from this, but Ill go into those down the line as and when I get good solid confirmation :D

Safe. Get producing :)

[Demos]

big idea.

[Kaychi]

im gonna email you a beat NOW!!

[Hij]

Cool.

Will be about a week maybe 2 weeks until we have enough anyway, so make sure theres quality.

Once its released, its the forums job to spread this .zip file to everyone to promote... the forum, the grimepedia, the producers, any mc's and their myspaces etc etc.

how much details will you be giving to people. names and myspaces or just names?

[Miyagi Dan]

would u want a specially made beat or one thats already out?

[Breathe Beats]

on it like sonic

[Hij]

Specially made beat probably.

Will be two jpg's with a front cover and a back cover done up nicely

And as much information stored on the actual .mp3 itself about the artist/producer as possible perhaps with myspaces as well.

[Jason P]

Do you only want beats from producers on this forum?

[Hij]

Let me know if i can help.

Deffo some from here, but if its worthy of being pushed to a larger audience, anyone really dont mind.

I can see you... are you an mc?

Done. lol. You had like 3+ colour codes in there, maybe why it wasn't working, dunno.

[RIP Jakey]

[bailey_187]

Yeah we can put Myspaces in there easy



Done. lol. You had like 3+ colour codes in there, maybe why it wasn't working, dunno.

thanks lol

[Miyagi Dan]

wat u shuld do is pick the top 4beats then the top 4 mcs (mcs judged on a poll based on theyre myspace) then let the mc's vocal the beats

just a suggestion

[Wiz]

Are there even that many MCs on here?

[Quite a character]

yh have like the 4 vocals and the instrumentals aswell, if u get really organised it cd be like a monthly/ quarterly thing

[Miyagi Dan]

think theres alot more producers than mc's tho

[Lemon]

Yeah that sounds like quite a big idea.

Dunno how well it will work if there are alot more Producers than MCs. Work something out i'm sure

[Hij]

Im sticking with this format for now. If your spitting on next levels like Lacey, I might hook you up on abeat on there.

For im not sure yet, making producers and mc's collaborate off her can make it much longer to sort out

[RIP Jakey]

i'm good (seriously lol) but i'll wait till i get some tunes recorded in studio then stick sum up (myspace has got tunes over a year old and home recorded), may miss this EP hopefully catch the next

[Quite a character]

Yeah that sounds like quite a big idea.

Dunno how well it will work if there are alot more Producers than MCs. Work something out i'm sure

fuck the mcs off for some eps then lol

[Hij]

They are gonna get voted for anyway, so bring levels, only the best will get on.

I *should* have a couple tunes sorted already and a few skits etc.

[Demos]

Beat sent

[Anonymous]

Hmmm.

[Technician]

ill giv it a go

[Thisisme]

hmmmm...im gonna have to send u a beat......................what so no mcing? I got alot of new tunes!!!!!!!!

[Mister Lacey]

LOL Mister Lacey track or on a track?

[Hij]

Lacey, we'll chat on msn about that mate.

[Mister Lacey]

Lacey, we'll chat on msn about that mate.


LOL safe bruvva.
I'll be on later maybe 6pm 7pm UK time innit.
Grime Forum EP is a sick idea though.

[Miyagi Dan]

wens the deadline?

hopefully il pull something out of my hat afta work

**draws for some new plugins**

[Skola]

could u not fit 4 or even 5 tunes on 1 vinyl

make it a bit better value for money

also

put it on some legal download site for a couple of quid

people should probably just start using a dubstep one and get their tunes on there

[feasible_weasel]

sounds big i will up something asap (as soon as i can get my head around pro tools and my mpc)

[Jason P]

wa gwan with the project?

:alot:

[Hij]

Its an on going project. Just gathering interest and beats.

I reckon a month maybe till its done.

[bailey_187]

vinyl hij, do ittt

[Jason P]

Should vinyl it if it goes big though! We'll wait and see, safe man!

Jason!

[Hij]

vinyl hij, do ittt
Will it sell though?

[Jason P]

Thats what i said, go for physical releases if it gets hyped at least a little bit

[G-dub]

good idea, id send 1 but it would be dubstep. So ill see if i got a old grime beat i can submit.

[Hij]

Unfortunately this is only a grime release mate so yeah a grime beat please.

[Steez]

You have a chance to check my beats at all Hij?

[Hij]

I have starred all the messages. Unfortunately I have not listened to any yet.

I would like to get this done by the end of March. So roughly about a month. I wont be giving out dates or anything or it might flop.

Unfortunately I think a vinyl release is a little out of my reach for the moment, but if you know someone who could sponsor this project, please holla.

[natzta]

sending you something now hijimi

will probably cook a new ting for it aswell in a few days

oh and check your pms plz mate

[Hij]

safe and have done

[natzta]

safe sorted my avi (big up lemon wholesale lol)

check your gmail cuz n pm me your feedback plz

[Technician]

vinyl hij, do ittt

lol who wants 2 pay 500 pound for 500 white labels on here??

[Hij]

it costs 1 quid per vinyl?

[Wiz]

it costs 1 quid per vinyl?

if you order enough

[Jay]

How many is enough though lol

[Demos]

:deadhorse:

[Jay]

:deadhorse:

loooooooool

Tken from bbc so don't know how old this is but;


At the moment, 300 double-sided, white label 12s in plain black sleeves will cost you around £600 to produce from a DAT or CD master.

Add more if you want artwork on the label or sleeve.

Many duplication companies will arrange the whole process for you, including artwork if you want it.

At this point, it's usually a good idea to get on some message boards and see if anyone can recommend a good mastering house and/or pressing plant for your disks.

You may even find that it's cheaper to go abroad.

[Hij]

LOL.

I think free promotional download is the way to go.

[bailey_187]

it costs 1 quid per vinyl?

if u get 500 done.

an official grime forum vinyl would be a much better look then an official grime forum RAR or zip file wouldnt it?

[Demos]

if u get 500 done.

an official grime forum vinyl would be a much better look then an official grime forum RAR or zip file wouldnt it?

yeah but how many ppl would buy it?? considering most the producers on here are still up and coming?

[Jay]

if u get 500 done.

an official grime forum vinyl would be a much better look then an official grime forum RAR or zip file wouldnt it?

and whos going to pay for that to be pressed?

[Wiz]

we don't even know the level of the producers in here yet

[bailey_187]

yeah but how many ppl would buy it?? considering most the producers on here are still up and coming?

i dnt know how many but theres quite afew well known DJs who could promote it and could even try see if logan will promote it for u.
If u keep promoting it and getting it into as many record shops as possible not just uptown, UKRS and rhyethem divison (people from other cities could try getting their local record shop to stock the vinyl maybe?)
