I had a couple of friends come to me asking about free beats and what type of beats they should be using. My best advice to any artist out there is to first know your style and where you fit in the game with your talents. If you excel at making hot trap records and you kill the track every time my advice would be to stick with it! Seems easy right? Especially with all the free beats or cheap beats out there today. Well here's the catch. A&R's get tons of tracks daily from artist that aspire to be the next big thing. So from a marketing standpoint you have to step back and think to yourself "What can I do to make myself stand out?" Well first you want to make sure that you go and research the A&R that your gong to submit your music to so that you can know their likes and dislikes. This is very important because if you don't catch their attention from the start,your song may never be heard no matter how much of a banger it is. Now secondly you need to have a distinct sound for yourself. I say this because if you choose the same beats that are floating around Youtube with the same sounds and hi hat patterns, your really slimming the odds of being picked out of the group of hungry artist in the pool pit.The most successful way of being noticed immediately is to have a unique beat selection. I mean think about it. You think Jay would have had so much buzz when he came out if he didn't have those classic beats in the background. I'm telling you the beat really does matter. Especially in the day and age we are in now. So what you need to find are those instrumentals that truly touch the soul or bring forth emotion when you hear them. Something that is truly ART! The type of beats that give you a feeling inside when you hear them.A new sound that could possibly change the game! Have fun and try new things don.t just stick to the regular formula. When you feel like you want to give up, don't because that's how many artist never fulfill their dream and are always stuck wondering what if. Go find those new unique beat that all the upcoming artist are using to brand themselves
Good luck I hope to be hearing about you guys in the near future.
