What Rappers Should Know Before Getting A Beat Online

 Rappers especially upcoming rappers and probably other musicians too sometimes find it taxing getting the right beat or flow for their songs. In most cases, some end up tailoring their song to the flow of the beat available to them. 

About the leasing business:

There are a whole lot of beats out there on the internet with different categories, some are totally free for profit, others are free for profit also but you'll need to tag or give credit to the producer of that particular beat in your project. some are not free but could be leased while others need to be bought completely to have any right to it.

Of all categories, it's advisable to have some right even if not full right to your projects which is where the leasing business comes in.

There is a way one could get some right to a particular beat which suits the project at hand in terms of flow, mood, rhythm and the particular picture to be painted.

The leasing business is a cost effective way of getting your hands on quality beats which you have much right to.

Depending on the producer in question, there are certain requirements usually laid down before purchasing these beats, usually the price for different formats such as mp3, wav and others are different with mp3 being the cheapest of all. Such beats can be gotten from websites like Beatstars.com and others.

Prices could range around $25 for mp3 with some restrictions such as 500000 maximum streams, right to 1 music video, broadcasting right on two radio stations, right to distribute maximum of 2000 copies and could be used for live performances and music recordings. 

Another point to note is the free download, free download is definitely not a free lease, it's more like a sample which you might want to test on different devices maybe in your car, or other places and not necessarily a free bit. you have virtually no right speaking legally to the free download although it is termed "free download".

For other categories, the wave file which could  costs $60 or an exclusive offer which could take up to $500, taking the best off the market and making you the last artist with the right to that particular beat, these prices could discourage one and make an artist especially upcoming ones to settle for "free for profit beats".

Some other artists take up the challenge, turning themselves into artists and producers, mixing, mastering and producing their songs themselves. Some also get signed into labels that cover all these costs while others might just firm a group with a producer and they all share profits accordingly.

what ever the case might be, as an upcoming artist, you should be ready to spend a bit of money just like any other startup venture, you have to invest in quality beats. there are some producers I've written of in the past here at Upcomingswatch.com, also Beatstars is a good place to get some nice beats.
