HEARSAY
Vocalist's challenge writeup
This song follows the media buzz and short, viral clips of Papi Dogtags, a fragment of her rage personified through her fighting career. Papi’s tale is one of a dark rise and a dubious reputation, who can stop her, and for GODS SAKE will someone please take her off the air??? She’s a Lesbian, a Misandrist, and a DOWNRIGHT Psychotic Wrestler surrounded by controversy since day one.
Producer's challenge writeup
The song and the intro does exactly what it needs to do, punch you right in the face, no warning. Straight to the point. It's meant to be aggressive, abrasive, and as the story progresses into violence and chaos, so does the music.

JUDGES' BREAKDOWN

8.33/10 score rank #12 of 24VOCALS 7PRODUCTION 8CHALLENGE 10This definitely gets straight to the point in the song. The attitude in the song was witty, charismatic, and such a darty sounding rock style record. Nails the challenge. I would like to hear more volume in the vocal or even some stacks in the hook vocals. Production was great. Knew the assignment and delivered. Great work!

7.67/10 score rank #15 of 24VOCALS 6PRODUCTION 9CHALLENGE 8I love Pinky's venture into rap! A bit rough around the edges but I give her props for switching up the vocal style. With a bit more practice with timing and confidence she will be nailing the delivery of songs in this aggressive style. The production is insanely clean and super tough. Heavy, chunky. Could let Pinky's vox shine through more. The mixing of the psychotic screams in the outro breakdown are amazing. Some chilling shit.

8.67/10 score rank #10 of 24VOCALS 8PRODUCTION 8CHALLENGE 10A wrestler comes out, fingers on her lips telling the crowd to STFU. The crowd does exactly as they’re told, till the pyro makes them pop. Yep… that’s the vibes. Hook here is catchy. Flow could be a bit more in pocket at parts, but the writing is good. Beat is solid, switches keep it interesting, BUT would like to have heard that hook part come back around to end things.

8.00/10 score rank #13 of 24VOCALS 8PRODUCTION 8CHALLENGE 8There's a common theme this Round - everyone wants to be the heel. But this R3 submission may take the cake. Aggressive from top to bottom, remorseless, unapologetic. This submission absolutely runs the fight cards. Dig the cutaway Sunday advertising to break up and breakdown the song halfway through, it works here! I think the producer found the perfect place to insert it without disrupting the flow. Also those heavy bass lines in the breakdown? Ready to take someone off the top rope to those! Digging this one for sure and will come back to it a few more times at least

10.00/10 score rank #1 of 24VOCALS 10PRODUCTION 10CHALLENGE 10Holy shit this is rad. This deathcore-pop vibe is so sick. The midroll promo is hard af. Breakdown is brutal. I absolutely love when teams surprise us and get experimental. We have an anvil snare! This is going to be a VPC track I think about for years. This outro absolutely fucks. I'm sold on the lore, the character, the story. Love long Papi. This beat was exactly what this lyric needed. Nailed it.
