Hiphop-Battles.com 2.0 finally online

Hiphop-Battles.com 2.0 screenshotThe most recent project i am working on, Hiphop-Battles.com, went finally online today. My partners and me are working on this project for about 2 years now. The team consists of Eike Reifhardt (BioPhonC) who made all the artistic stuff (web design, CI, and all other types of media), Michael Scheel (StarbuG) who is the original founder of hiphop-battles.com and manages all the organizational stuff, and me (puRe) who made all the web site programming, database layout and such things.

We’ve put a lot new features into the new version, which i will describe detailed in forthcoming posts.
For now you may read the official press release:


On September 1st, one of the leading international hip-hop battle websites, www.hiphop-battles.com, relaunched to introduce a brand new design and a new free arena for graffiti battles.

Frankfurt am Main, Germany (PRWEB) September 1, 2006 -– With the launch of the second version of www.hiphop-battles.com on September 1st, a third battle arena for graffiti graphic battles was introduced to the website, next to the older arenas for rap and beatbox audio battles. The graffiti arena was a response to the high demand in the hip-hop and graffiti scene, which currently lacks legal ways for competing art skills with graffiti writers from all over the world.

Hiphop-battles.com provides hip-hop fans and artists with free access to over 15,000 legal hip-hop mp3s and a way to vote in ongoing battles in a democratic voting system. The ranking system tells the visitor about “who is hot and who is not” and orients new users, to find the most interesting battles. In its second version, www.hiphop-battles.com also received a total makeover, and shines with a brand new design. Switching to another interface language or to another arena got much easier, and can now be controlled from everywhere on the website.

With the rap, beatbox and the new graffiti battle arena, www.hiphop-battles.com now combines three important elements of hip-hop, and strengthens its position as leading hip-hop battle website.

For more information about the relaunch of hiphop-battles.com or the new online graffiti battle feature, please visit www.hiphop-battles.com/press/, or contact Michael Scheel.

Sunday HipHop-Battles

A new tune from me that i produced exclusively for HipHop-Battles can be found on the site under Beats / Loops (you need to signup and login there to see that menu entry). Its called Sunday. Not for any particular reason. I’m just so uncreativ when it comes to naming stuff.

The tune has been used for 5 MC Battles so far.
Brainfreeze vs mc31 (German)
sebbo vs loony-tune (German)
sebbo vs Rap-O (German)
Lennoxxx vs Scheuerman (German)
MrMef vs Die-anna

The quality of the recorded raps is not allways good but its all just for fun.
