| The music business is slowly shifting towards the
independent labels rather than the majors. We are in the
digital era of music where, you are now able to make a
mixtape or demo and send it out to thousands of people with
just the click of a button. As a new artist in the music business, you need to focus on these two things: 1. Studio time 2. Instrumentals! By focusing on your beats and your studio time, you will always have good sounding, high quality music. You have to remember that the music you put out represents YOU, so rep yourself appropriately. Without a doubt, your lyrics are very important when it comes to making a song. But the beat is like the driver of your song where it's the foundation. As a hip hop artist it's your mission to develop an ear for hot instrumentals in order to increase your odds of getting a hit song. A common problem that most indie rappers face is that they don’t have a lot of money and a lack of information when it comes to the music industry so you have to quickly learn how to spend your money sensibly when it comes to buying beats. You also have to learn how to spend your cash wisely. The best place to buy affordable beats is online. There are literally MILLIONS of beats on the web that are wallet friendly. Because there are so many online producers, the pricing for instrumentals has dropped DRAMATICALLY due to competition. Today you can lease a beat for $10-$20 dollars apiece and even receive FREE Instrumentals if you sign up to their mailing lists. Throughout the years, the price of beats decreased which has its positives and negatives. One good way to know what kind of producer you’re purchasing from is to check the website to see if he or she gives you the option of buy exclusively or non-exclusively. Non-exclusive and exclusive? What is that? 1. Leasing (non-exclusive) - you do not own the beat, you are given the right to use it for mixtapes, demo cds, albums, performances. Leasing a instrumental is cheaper than purchasing a instrumental, so if you do not have a lot of money to begin with then this is the route for you. 2. buying (exclusive) - purchasing a instrumental out right is when you pay for the instrumental FULL PRICE. You now OWN the instrumental. This is a little more expensive but if you have the cash to do so and you DO NOT want anyone else to use this beat than this is something that you would want to consider. Another thing to look out for when purchasing instrumentals online is to listen for the quality of the instrumental. As an up and coming artist, you need beats that are mixed and ready for radio play. If you take these tips and apply it to your career than you will be that much closer towards your dreams. |
