“The Not-So-Pleasant King” - song
A song written for the challenge and for funsies (I'm not a professional songwriter). Sound wise: think rock. Or perhaps wacky rock. There will be no video or audio attached - I've had enough embarrassment to last three eternities already (sorry). Hopefully the tone comes out in the lyrics.

The Unseen Fight
In the heart of the city, two rival musicians are about to face off in a competition of their lives. The city of Eastwood had always been a place where talent collided with opportunity, but nothing ever captured the public’s attention quite like the annual "Beat Battle." It was a competition that drew aspiring musicians from all corners of the city, where the winner earned a contract with one of the most prestigious record labels in the country. This year, the battle had two competitors who were destined to change the game forever: Jayden and Mia.
