We are very proud to announce that Nodfactor will be an official sponsor of this year’s hottest producer conference in the country, the 9th annual Dynamic Producer Conference! What makes this conference so special and sets it apart from the rest is the fact that they don’t limit the producers to participate in only one showcase. As you see below there are numerous battles/showcases that take part over the three day event, allowing producers who may specialize in one particular area to really shine. With all the panels and networking opportunities Dynamic Producer is definitely worth the investment. Click here for registration and more info.

“Thanks to DJ KillaTouch for this footage from last night’s epic Red Bull Big Tune Battle of the Beats event at Opera in Atlanta. Jadakiss performed, and aspiring producers battled for the chance to collaborate with a major artist (last year’s winner, C-Sick, got his track laced by Nas)….then Alchemist and Just Blaze went beat for beat in a friendly “beat-off” (lol, ok, that didn’t sound right)
I can’t wait for more footage of this to come out (hit me if you see any), looked amazing!”

I would love to see one of these between Pete Rock and Premier…just back and forth for like…an hour LOL
