So this might be a bit of ramble. I've going on little sleep haha

Well anyways. Two days ago I got picked for a istandard showcase in Philly this month. I was so shocked and excited at the same time.

But now I'm stressing. Some of you have seen the path I've come. The changes I've made in my path. I've only been producing non sampled beats for about 4 months now, and literally the last 2 beats I've made, we're my best. And there also the 2 I submitted to them. Now I'm fairly confident that I can come up with the 5 beats I need, within a week.


BUT.

I feel like since I mainly make laid back "chill trap". That I am not going to get that great of a response from the crowd and the judges. And it's wrecking my nerves haha. What do you think I should do?

My plan was use 2 chill trap beats, one live sampled instrument beat (my friends a guitar player), a club trap beat and maybe another trap beat. To show diversity.

But now I'm nervous to even use my chill trap beats. Any input?

In my experience with Istandard showcases its not about having a certain kind of record. It's about presenting what you do.The worse thing you can do is try to present a style that you aren't comfortable with. Do what you do best. Remember don't confuse a Showcase with a battle.

Every video I look at, is pretty making it seem like hype trap beats that no one could ever tap over

If they do trap they do trap, but it's not what you do it's how it's done. If I get a chance I'll show you one of my showcases from last year.
