Free Hip Hop Beats

Free Hip Hop Beats

Being a multi platinum music producer, I have often gotten the question from up and coming hip hop artists if I sold beats. There are in fact many producers who sell beats to artists for anywhere from 20 to maybe 50 dollars a piece. But the beats are sold non exclusive, meaning that the producer keeps his right to the beats and can keep selling the same beats.
So basically for 20-50 dollars you get access to put your vocals to a beat that many others are using as well. You can of course sell your song at gigs and maybe make your money back that way.
I have never done this, because most often I have collaborated with signed artists that through their record company have access to some of the best producers. They don't buy beats until they know the song is on the album. But if the song makes the album the beat is suddenly worth up to 50.000 dollars, sometimes even more. I have always done it this way. But there is a downside. Not all my beats are finding a home. So since not all beats I write are making the albums of these artists I have decided to offer the best of these tracks as free hip hop beats to up and coming hip hop artists.

So how do you get access to the free beats?
I have made this little website where you can download Free Hip Hop Beats
All you have to do is sign up as a free member, and you get an email with a link to download the beats. Each month I will upload new beats that I guarantee will blow you away.

As a member you also get access to me and my publisher Sony/ATV. How does that work?
Quite simple, when you create a lyric to my track we have collaborated on the finished song. You wrote the lyric and I did the music. If you make an mp3 of the song, email it to me along with a lyric sheet, I will submit it to my publisher as a 50/50 collaboration between us. They will copyright the song, so noone else can later steal it and claim it theirs. Also if the song is great they might offer to pitch it to some major artists.

So go to www.free-hiphopbeats.com, sign up and start downloading.
