The Mashup Kingdom is celebrating its Fifth Anniversary this month! In honor of this occasion, we have released a brand new album for you all to enjoy.
Last week, we gave our mashup artists a challenge: Take the first letter of their mashup name, and create a mashup in which the artist for the instrumental track starts with that same letter. For example, Adamusic and Ariana both start with the letter A.
On top of this, mashup artists had a short timeline of just FIVE DAYS to create their track, with extensions of 1-2 days only allowed for a couple artists.
39 mashup artists from our Kingdom have accepted the challenge and made mashups for this huge compilation album, including a number of popular artists which some of you may recognize.
We hope you all enjoy this album as much as we did making this!
Thank you all for your support of The Mashup Kingdom all these years. Here's to another five years!
Mashups are made by their respective artists.

With all that being said, this is no ordinary anniversary album.
At the time this album was made, the effects of COVID-19 impacted society greatly, requiring us to adapt to a new normal and in effect, a new reality. Additionally, the murder of George Floyd at the hands of police led to massive protests worldwide condemning racism and police brutality. As a result, the Black Lives Matter movement has strengthened, delivering a powerful message which calls for justice for George Floyd, as well as police and government reform.
As a Kingdom, we hope that through donations to the following organizations, this message will be translated into action:
