 ---
**DO POST**:

* Questions 

Search first and keep basic stuff to the Basic Help and General Discussion thread. If your question fits in a recurring thread, use the appropriate thread before making a new thread

* Discussions

Join in live on [Discord](https://discord.gg/aAD7hjH) for the small talk.

* Tutorials and other resources

Check out and contribute to the [MHH Wiki](https://www.reddit.com/r/makinghiphop/wiki/resources)!
