iStandard Texas Time – Help Decide Scarface’s Next Track / iStandard In Dallas @ TUMS This Week

August 5, 2010

Good day iStandardProducers.com…

Texas – The Lone Star State – the second-largest U.S. state by both area and population, and the largest state in the contiguous United States. The name means “friends” or “allies”.
Yeah, we can Wiki. All facts aside, iStandard has made friends with the state of Texas as of late, as we have 2 MAJOR opportunities arising this month.
What are they? First off, voting is now LIVE for the “Elite 8 Scarface Placement Online Battle”, brought to you by ThisIsFaceMob.com & Song Movers, and powered by BattleZoneX.
What is it you ask?

Hundreds of producers from all over the world submitted zips and zips of tracks to Scarface, and he and his team picked EIGHT beats he REALLY liked. How to narrow it down to the one that makes his album? Let the people decide!
