Following the release of Southside’s new King of Trap Vol. 1 sample pack on Splice, we’re excited to announce a one-of-a-kind live beat battle with him as the judge.
Hosted in partnership with Tunecore at our 808 Day Event in Los Angeles on Friday, August 8th, the beat battle will feature 10 finalists who will compete for Southside’s co-sign and cash prizes—read below for details on how to enter.
This beat battle is only open to those who are 21+ and live within 50 miles of Los Angeles, California. However, we invite you to tune into the event remotely on our YouTube channel, where the event will be livestreamed.
The challenge
Make sure you’re subscribed to Splice—if you’re not, you can get started here. From there, it’s simple: upload your best track to SoundCloud and submit it via BeatBattle.app here (Beatbattle.app uses Discord for its login—if you don’t have an account, one will be created for you when you click “Log In”). Use Southside’s pack to create a new track, or submit an existing track that fits the 808 Mafia vibe.
Submissions will be open until 11:59 p.m. EST on August 4th, 2025. After submissions have closed, our internal team will review all of the tracks and select our top 10.
These entrants will be chosen as finalists to have their tracks compete in person in Los Angeles, California at our 808 Day event with Southside on Friday, August 8th, 2025. The event will start at 5:00 p.m. PST, and Southside himself will judge and determine the winners. You must be 21+ to attend the event.
Prizing
Alongside other special guests, Southside will personally listen to the finalists’ beats, provide live feedback, and select his top three winners—the first-place winner will receive $1,000 USD, the second-place winner will receive $500 USD, and the third-place winner will receive $250 USD.
If you have any questions, you can ask them in the FYI app or the Splice Discord. We wish you the best of luck!
