 ---
**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)!

Projects are best shared as text posts. Include some info! (e.g. concepts conveyed, credits, how long it has been in the works, etc.) Posting a beat tape as a link to one long track will get it flagged and removed by the automod (post as a text submission to avoid that).
