How to Find the Tightest Beats

By Josh Stewart


Locating the best beats once you're a rapper or producer working from your home studio can definitely be tough. Do you search through the thousands of sites promising royalty-free beats that dudes are making in their basements with tin cans and cheap synthesizers?

Or do you find yourself spending huge amounts of money hoping you'll find the nice beat that can get you a little radio play? But if it fails, watch out 'cuz you might go broke.

Thankfully, there is a balanced medium I've discovered to work by supplying me with plenty of beats and instrumentals that fit the mood of the types of songs I like to write (mostly dark, twisted lyrics with dark humor or stories).

Google is a wanna-be rapper's best friend. By making use of the search engines, I have been able to discover some sites promising beats that truly work with my style. Take some time to look for "instrumentals", "beats", and Long-tail keywords such as "how to create songs at home" to really Zero in on what you want, which is: AFFORDABLE beats that get your head Nodding and your creative juices flowing.

Now, what's really in is all this southside, "dirty dirty" crunk beats, etc. This may be your thing, but because the rap market is so saturated, You have to stand out, both lyrically and conceptually. That is the main reason why it's so essential to focus on obtaining your beats from only one or two producers. This will give you more of a unified sound. When you Go all over the net looking for "free" this and "free" that, you are asking For a discombobulated demo or street album that will come off as Unprofessional and corny.

There are many individuals out there selling their beats. How do you know if They are any good, or worth the price? Look for producers who are selling LOTS of beats but who aren't just GIVING them away. The complication with free beats is the fact that everybody is making use of them. Instead, Get quality beats, preferably for a ONE-TIME fee so you have all the Time you need to remix them, alter them, speed them up, slow them down, Etc. Without worrying about buying more or paying some monthly Subscription.
