Chronically Impaired

You must submit your own original lyrics and your own human vocal performance. No AI-generated lead vocals, voice clones, stolen lyrics, unauthorized samples, or third-party vocals.

You retain ownership of your submitted verse unless a separate written agreement says otherwise. Submission grants limited permission for private review and reasonable challenge-related promotional excerpts.

Submission does not automatically create a release, feature credit, payment, royalty share, publishing share, master ownership, management relationship, label signing, or partnership.

The Chronically Impaired Open Verse Challenge is operated by 3NIGMA BRED MUSIC™, a DBA of Grim Logick LLC, in connection with Grim Logick’s “Chronically Impaired.”

The public challenge begins August 22, 2026. Submissions close September 22, 2026 at 11:59 PM Central Time. Late or inaccessible submissions may be rejected.

No purchase or payment is required to enter.

Entrants must be at least 18 years old or have permission from a parent or legal guardian. Entrants must be legally able to grant the permissions described in these terms.

Participation is subject to applicable law and is void where prohibited.

Entrants must record an original verse over the official challenge file and submit an accessible full mixed entry through the official submission form.

The official instrumental, existing vocals, and song structure may not be replaced, sampled into another work, or materially altered without written permission.

Stems are not required during initial entry. The selected artist must later provide usable, time-aligned vocal files.

By submitting, the entrant confirms that the submitted lyrics and vocal performance are original to the entrant or legally controlled by the entrant.

Entries may not contain stolen lyrics, unauthorized third-party vocals, uncleared samples, infringing material, AI-generated lead vocals, cloned voices, or unauthorized impersonations.

Entrants remain responsible for the accuracy of all rights, ownership, and authorship claims connected to their submission.

The entrant retains ownership of their submitted lyrics and vocal performance unless rights are later granted through a separate written agreement.

By submitting, the entrant grants 3NIGMA BRED MUSIC™, Grim Logick LLC, and Grim Logick a limited, nonexclusive, royalty-free permission to privately review the submission and use reasonable excerpts for challenge promotion, judging, recap content, and winner announcements.

This permission does not authorize an official commercial remix release without a separate written remix agreement.

Entries may be evaluated based on writing, vocal performance, timing, pocket, originality, atmosphere, mix compatibility, rights clarity, release viability, and professionalism.

3NIGMA BRED MUSIC™ reserves the right to select no winner if no submission meets the creative, technical, rights, or release standards required for an official remix.

The selected winner is eligible to receive:

• An official DSP remix release with Grim Logick.
• Feature credit on the final approved remix.
• A separate challenge winner announcement or recap.
• A dedicated editorial spotlight covering one qualifying independent work by the winner.
• Promotional support across available Grim Logick and 3NIGMA BRED MUSIC™ channels.
• A 3NIGMA BRED artist metadata and database workup.
• Final mix and master integration of the selected verse.

The independent work selected for editorial coverage must be publicly available, controlled by the artist, verifiable, and suitable for publication.

The selected artist must provide legal name, artist name, lyrics, vocal stems, contact information, credits, and relevant PRO or identifier information when available.

Commercial release requires a separate written remix agreement addressing master ownership, royalties, publishing or writer shares, credits, distribution permission, promotional permission, approvals, and payment information.

No royalty, revenue share, publishing share, master ownership, or feature credit is created merely by submitting an entry.

Original production credit remains: Produced by Skrilla Beats.

Entries may be rejected or disqualified for missing information, inaccessible files, false rights claims, infringement concerns, unauthorized samples or vocals, synthetic or cloned lead vocals, unlawful or hateful material, harassment, spam, technical unusability, or failure to provide required winner materials.

Submitted names, email addresses, location information, artist links, and entry materials will be used for challenge administration, judging, winner contact, rights verification, and potential release preparation.

Entrant legal names and private contact details will not be published solely because an entry was submitted.

Participation does not create employment, management, agency, partnership, label signing, exclusive representation, or any other continuing business relationship between the entrant and 3NIGMA BRED MUSIC™, Grim Logick LLC, or Grim Logick.

3NIGMA BRED MUSIC™ may reasonably modify, extend, suspend, or cancel the challenge due to technical problems, platform failures, rights concerns, insufficient qualifying entries, unlawful activity, or circumstances that prevent fair administration.

No. Writing, delivery, timing, tone, originality, atmosphere, and release viability matter more than expensive equipment. The recording still needs to be clear enough to judge.

Yes. BandLab entries are acceptable for judging. The selected artist must still provide clean vocal stems before an official remix release.

Yes. Private, secret, or unlisted links are acceptable as long as the submitted link can be opened without requesting permission and remains available throughout judging.

The submitted vocal must be the entrant’s own human performance. The entrant is also responsible for confirming that the submitted lyrics are original and legally controlled. AI-generated lead vocals, cloned voices, or unauthorized impersonations are prohibited.

No. The selected entry proceeds toward official release only after usable stems, cleared rights, accurate credits, professional communication, and a signed remix agreement are confirmed.

One qualifying independent song, EP, album, music video, visual project, or other publicly available artist-controlled work.

It is a structured review of the winning artist’s public identity, credits, links, release information, artist bio, writer and performer details, identifiers, and catalog data. In other words, the boring machinery that keeps music from becoming an anonymous file floating through the internet.
