Vote for your King of Beats!

When we asked some of our favorite musicians to get creative with our favorite music game, Beat it!, I didn't know what to expect.

We sent them an iPod touch and simply asked them to create an original beat using Freestyle Mode. We didn't give a defined number of measures, nor a strict instrument set. We just let them loose to see what they could come up with.

I have to admit, the grooves we received by far exceeded expectation. Each beat is unique, from rock bombast to ambient scapes.

Don't just take my word for it, give them all a LISTEN and VOTE for your King of Beats!
