Win an Audi A1 with BlackBerry!
Who doesn’t want to touch awesomeness? I certainly do and BlackBerry too. BlackBerry have launched an awesome new campaign with some incredible prizes up for grabs and I’m taking part to see if I can win!
The first leg of the contest, which is open to everyone, is rocking the mic! Yeh, that’s right, you rap/sing into your computer (mic-line) and then overlay it on some beats that BlackBerry provides.. I gave it a bash and although my Internet was completely playing up and wasn’t transmitting my outgoing data I did manage to record my first verse, which (heaven help me) you can listen to below:
Ok, so like please don’t laugh at me, I’ve never claimed to be down in the hood with rapping and I’ve got nothing on Cheddar Bomb and the 313:
Here are my rhymes:
So I’m sitting here on the BlackBerry site
Voicing my opinion, you better listen, alright
The BlackBerry Curve is an awesome phone
I’m guna bust this beat into a ringtone
I really wanted to get into it and do a wicked 3 verse piece, but this darn Internet doesn’t want to behave, perhaps I’ll have a chance to try again tomorrow.
Oh ya, and here’s what you can win:
Come on, I challenge you to give it a go, if I can do it and publish it right here for every single one of you to listen to, then you can too!

Incredible hip hop pen beat
Just when you think you’ve heard and seen it all, someone comes along and does something incredible.
I love how he says he’ll show his face once he hits 50,000 subscribers! With 800,000 views and counting, I reckon he’ll hit that 50,000 mark no problem!
Baby Bash ft. Pitbull – Outta Control
Absolutely loving this tune right now, potential for a summer anthem I say. Use a proper pair of headphones please folks, the bassline’s hot:
Dubstep Violin by Lindsey Stirling – Crystallize

The #5GumExperience – Two Door Cinema Club
Last year I noticed this inflow of chewing gum packages at all the local shops and I even remember blogging about the packaging because, finally, there were chewing gum packages that could fit in a pocket with ease – I’m a smoker, I like having gum with me :)
5Gum is one of the brands that embraced this new experience and delivered their gum in stylish, organized packages – three delicious flavors:
- Electro .. a tingling spearmint
- Turbulence .. a mouthwatering watermelon
- Cobalt.. a cooling peppermint
When 5Gum arrived in South Africa, they promised to stimulate our sense with the amazing experiences that incorporated audio and visual brilliance. The promise was met through two exclusive gigs featuring Etienne De Crecy along with an active campaign that saw people submitting their customized, virtual branding projections from all over the world. Take a look at this:
2012′s here and 5Gum isn’t putting the breaks on, this time it’s an experience that brings us Two Door Cinema Club (Best band nominee at NME awards). To find out more information please visit www.facebook.com/5GumSA for information, or hit up @5GumSA on Twitter.

Share The Soundtrack To Your Life With Soundtracking
There are many social networks out there, that allow you to share nearly everything in your life. Soundtracking is one of the newer social networks, with iPhone and Android apps, that allows you to share the soundtrack to your life.
You sign into the app with either your Facebook, Twitter or Foursquare account, which are integral to sharing the music that you’re listening to. The user interface is slick and functional, and the layout is pretty similar to Foursquare and Instagram, with buttons along the bottom and a pronounced sharing button in the middle.
By tapping on the sharing button, you can choose to share the song you’re listening to in one of three ways. You could either use the music search function, or use the music ID function, which works similarly to Soundhound and Shazam, which identifies music by ‘listening’ to the music you’re playing, or you could select the song that’s currently playing on your iPod app.
The nice thing about the app is that you can also add a photo to your post, either by taking a new picture, or uploading an existing one from your phone. You can also add a location to your post via Foursquare and add a description, which will make up the body of the text when sharing to Facebook and Twitter.
Once your post is shared, people viewing it get taken to a Soundtracking page, where they will have the option of previewing the song and buying it from iTunes. From here, they also have the option of liking the song, loving it and sharing a comment.
Soundtracking has an average four and a half star rating on the iTunes App Store and the reviews are all positive. Soundtracking adds a musical dimension to sharing, which is a welcome addition to social sharing apps.
Do you use Soundtracking? Do you think it has a place amongst the other social sharing apps? Let us know in the contents below.
