On March 9, 2016 in Los Angeles, [istandard] and Focus... hosted a Beat Battle with an amazing cause in mind - charity: water.

With contributions from our partners such as Akai, IFE+BONOHO, Kush Audio, Native Instruments, Novation, and Streetheart, this event helped put a dent into the water crisis and raise awareness for such a selfless and impactful organization.

100% of the money donated will be used to build clean water projects, and when they’re complete, charity: water will send us photos and GPS coordinates so we can see the exact community we helped.

Thank you so much to our participants Analogic, Battlecat, Black Metaphor, Cobaine Ivory, Dem Jointz, D.R.U.G.S., EZ Elpee, Focus..., The Fr3shmen, G Rocka & Medi, Jelly Roll, Kromatiks, The Mekanics, nateXcharity, The Olympicks, Paul Cabbin, PG750, Rick Rock, Sikwitit, Stephen Mykal, Tha Kracken, The Symphony, Trox Beats, Warren G, and, Willie B.

You can still donate to this amazing cause, and I encourage you to share this with your family, friends, and peers...

Thanks for reading.
