Together, They Create NEXXT Battles by Audeobox
NEXXT by Audeobox is a beat battle game designed and curated by Grammy-winning producers, Youngfyre and Skimmy, to give producers a place to get their beats heard, get feedback and advice, master their craft, and make money doing what they love.
Why Should I Battle?
To Have Fun
Between playing the game, hanging out with other kickass producers on daily livestreams, and making the beats that YOU wanna make, you can’t not have fun on NEXXT. Creating beats for competition versus placements is a whole different animal; You’re cookin’ up for YOU, not for THEM. Competition will drive your creativity to a place you’ve never been before.
To Get Better
They say it takes 10,000 hours to master a skill. I’m not sure who “they” are, but it sounds about right. Spend that time constantly improving with real-time feedback instead of doing the same thing over and over again with no clue if you’re improving or not.
To Get Heard
Tired of sending your beats to just your cousin and your girl? Wanna know what people really think about your music? This is a place where your beats will actually be heard by other producers, fans, A&Rs and artists that want to hear your shit. Your beats will no longer be left to die on your hard drive without every seeing the light of day.

The Evolution:
All New Features!
CUBES - Winning is more important than ever
Win a battle, get a cube! You can earn or hold 4 cubes at a time in your inventory slots. Cubes have different rarities (Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond) with different rewards.
Inside the cube, you’ll find different prizes:
- Cards
- Coins
- Gems
Cubes will be unlocked after a certain amount of time (for example, 12 hours, 24 hours, etc.), which correlates with the rarity of the cube.
CARDS:
Collect Cards to unlock Haxx
You will earn cards within cubes, which will correspond to the rarity of the cube (e.g silver cards in silver cubes)
HAXX:
Disrupting the ALGL’s airwaves with more than music
As a producer or DJ, you know how important your on-stage set is. We’re taking that concept and bringing it into the battleground. Take control of the look of your entire virtual set, from lighting to background and more.
Unlock Haxx with the cards you earn from cubes. Rare HAXX will require rare cards. For instance, the best Diamond Haxx require Diamond Cards to unlock. You can apply HAXX to your battle to put on a show! HAXX can affect the cube, background, lighting, and more.
INVENTORY CRATE:
your entire arsenal at your fingertips
Your crate will house all the items you own including frames, plates, badges, haxx, packs, coins, gems, cubes and cards.
You can customize your appearance (frame, plate, badges), browse all items, and unlock items you don't own with gems or cards in the Crate
NEW BATTLE ARENA:
Less noise, more organized battles
You will view one battle list at a time on your home screen.
You can easily switch between:
Hottest Battles
Open Battles
Voting Battles
Finished Battles
Tournament Battles
Hall of Fame Battles
You’ll also have quick access icons to My Battles, Battle Shop, Rank Progress, Battle Crate
THE OVERSEERS:
Our eyes in the sky
Protecting your battles with an extra layer, the Overseers are in charge of making sure battles are in the right genre, buddy-voting isn’t taking place, and battles are won fair and square.
the beat goes on forever
HALL OF FAME
The best of the best will live on forever. The Hall of Fame will feature battles selected by Fyre and Skimmy.
While the battle outcomes are closed and won’t change,
HoF battles will be open for voting to see who takes the popular vote. Now, when you run out of battles to vote on, the NEXXT button takes you to the hall of fame.
PROFILE PAGE:
It was time for a makeover, and this one’s drastic
The new and improved profile page will feature new buttons and icons, will be easier to navigate, and will show information about you, such as:
Your Favorite Beats
Your Beat Plays
Your Followers
Your beat store (if Diamond Member)
Your Progress Bar
Your KD Ratio

Why Upgrade?
Get Your Beats Heard
How many beats do you have RIGHT NOW on your computer that have NEVER seen the light of day? If you’re like most producers, the answer is probably A SHIT TON. Every single beat on NEXXT gets heard, so your hard work and effort will never be in vain ever again.
Create Your Brand
Your profile, your battles, your status on NEXXT... it’s all a part of your brand. NEXXT is the only place where your music, your personality, your contact info, and your potential live all together in one place.
A New Way into The Industry
Love producing music? How would you like to make it a side hustle, or even your career? When you’re on Audeobox, you’re showing the world (and artists, A&Rs, etc) what you’ve got, what you’re capable of, and who you are. Get discovered, make a beat sale, and enter the industry in a way that puts you in control.
Fun Fact: We’ve had producers make beat sales during the live stream show!
Competitive Production is an eSport
Like it or not, competition is human nature. As the tech world evolves, competition has been brought to an even bigger arena... online. Sports have evolved into eSports, and competitions both in person and virtual have created life-changing opportunities. Production is no different. We’re pioneering Competitive Production as an eSport; get in at the ground level and become a part of history being made.
The Community
The community of producers on NEXXT are the fuel behind the entire machine. Voting, commenting, interacting, joining the live... it’s all insanely important to keep a consistent feedback loop in motion. Connect with the community via on-site private chats, in our Community forum, in our Discord channel, in the live stream chats, and more.
Make Production Fun
When you’re producing a beat, it’s usually just you and your DAW against the world. Nobody hears your beat, nobody sees your process, nobody gives you feedback. You’re grinding because you like producing music, but let’s be real... it can get lonely and monotonous.
Enter: COMPETITIVE PRODUCTION
We’ve all got a love for competition buried somewhere in our souls. Competing against another producer means that your beat WILL be heard, your prcoess WILL be talked about, and you’ll definitely get some feedback. Plus, it gives you a reason to create, with challenge battles, revenge battles, tournaments, competitions, and more, you’ll be producing more than ever.
Audeobox Lore
The Audeobox world is complex... and a little bit fucked up. You’ll meet characters, like Maxx, who will guide you through your journey to becoming a better producer. Every battle brings you closer to winning the war- against creativity, against your inner demons, and against an industry that forces producers to be anonymous.
The Enemy: The ALGL
The Algorithmic Legion (ALGL) are the life-sucking suits that are slowly taking over. ALGL's tech controls everything. Fake lives, synchronized desires—it's all them. They’ve managed to tap into the creative subconscious of our cyber civilians and hoard it for themselves. The more creativity they can harness, the more powerful they become.
Join the EM6 Coalition
The only way to build our coalition is to disrupt the algorithm by replacing the ALGL’s airwaves with ours—music.
The city has hubs of conduction crystals. We have to slowly collect and destroy them without attracting too much attention.
Every member of EM6 has gone through intensive training: Beat Battles. The stronger we are as a group, the better chance we have of taking down the ALGL.
More soon...
