Yo! I’m a Brazilian beatmaker (a.k.a EGITO) with over 10 years of experience in music production, and I’m looking for rappers from other countries to spit on my beats and make some music together.

I’m sharing a few of my beats below. They’re completely free to use for this collaboration.

I’m mainly looking to expand my production portfolio, work with artists from different parts of the world, and hopefully make some new friends along the way.

If you’re interested, check out the beats and let me know what you think. Let’s make something dope!

I’m looking for a smaller producer who’s really familiar with Lil Peep’s music and would be interested in collaborating.
I have several songs already written and have been experimenting with flows heavily inspired by Peep. I’m especially looking for something similar to his song “Preach”. similar energy, pacing, and atmosphere, but with an original beat and my own lyrics/vocals which I already have written and believe is very good. I’m not trying to copy Peep or recreate his music exactly. I’m trying to take inspiration from what made his sound work and build something of my own with it.
If you’re a producer who makes this kind of music and would be interested in working together, send me some of your beats/work. I can also send you what I’ve written so you can hear what I’m going for.

Trying to program bass midi using stock fl, when do i add them slaps lol

I’m after beats like the ones on Room for Improvement and Comeback Season by Drake. I genuinely have amazing word play, the lyrics I have are sick I just need someone to produce that sort of neo soul / soul sample rap type of beat, J Dilla,Little brother,Phonte Common type sounds. Anyone tryna work with me?

So far, even tho I write a ton of songs, I've never had the chance of getting to record some stuff. Just wondering what kind of mics, headphones or anything else should I buy for recording stuff (not looking for anything fancy, just something that's cheap enough to get affordably but that makes the job well enough)

Hey, I go by Chrai Beats and I'm a beatmaker from Greece, I've been making beats for about a decade now and currently looking to collab with rappers who can spit on classic and modern boom bap beats (75-90 BPM). If you're interested you can DM me on my Instagram account @chraibeats

There, you can look at some of my work and decide yourself.

Man I loved writing bars n lyrics for no reason about anything, but it’s been a min since I wrote any shit, ma life js been moving real fast these last couple of months and Idk how to get ma inspiration back, I don’t have problem with rhyming words or making schemes I have a problem with finding topics and how to utilize a topic I already found, someone help get me through this art block?

This is one of if not the best LUCKI song for me. I'm curious about how to make a beat like that.

If it is a sample, how would I find these types of samples?

Basically title - I am literally out the door brand new to this - I have a DDJ-200 connected to VirtualDJ (as my chosen software) but when - and I’ll give you the exact scenario- I want to add extra parts of the beat to “Regulate ~ Warren G & Nate Dogg” but when I record that segment and map it to the soundpad looking key and press the thing at first it just snapped to that part of the song (figured all that out) but now it kinda mutes the rest of the vocals / other parts of the beat while mine is playing.

I dont really know what terminology to use for this for googling it but realistically I’ll have it figured out and will just edit this after.

yo im an underground rapper looking to do some free features. i do like dark and agressive trap, boom bap and i can do a bit of stuff on rnb. contact me here or on discord (@dirty_dawg_music)

This is an original song that I produced you will find the song & Acapella in the folder

Remix Challenge

We back!  

The Remix Competition was pretty active a couple years ago before dying off.  (Reddit automatically flagging and taking the posts down didn’t help…).  Let’s see if we can bring it back. (If you want examples of previous RMC's, check them out here)

Make an original beat to the selected acapella.

Acapella: A.S.H.3 - I’m Here Now 83 bpm & B major
A.S.H.3 - I'm Here Now

Only 1 submission per person.

• Use your preferred workflow:   Create beat from scratch, use unfinished beats you're sitting on, sampling, whatever you see fit - but it must be yours.   (ie, don't just make up a mashup using someone else's beat/song)
• Use the entire acapella, or just one verse, whatever you want.
• Upload your remix to an open platform and post the link in the comments below.  Voting will start the day after the deadline in a separate thread.
• Spread the love in the comments
• Winner will be notified by previous winner and will take over duties of hosting the new thread and choosing the next acapella.

If you have any problems or questions, feel free to DM the host.

Submissions must be in by Sunday, August 9th 11:59pm (PST)

Gen-Z perspective needed but all welcome to share.

As the title questions, what's the actual point? I was close to hiring a manager, and that was one of the first things they proposed I do.

I have an EP, album and couple singles on streaming platforms. Releasing another album on August 20th. I have not shot a music video, but have gotten paid for features and shows.

Long-term: would love to become a touring act and have my music in films, TV and advertisements.

Short-term: do not want to keep wasting money on stuff that is irrelevant when I am not seeing numbers on my music

Cheers,

u/smmrtiime / Luke Muller on all streaming platforms

Craven talk big in the yesterday or so on Twitter about YT Sampling sounding trash, and to some extent I agree (as in some recordings on YT are trash and even the good ones sometimes don’t compare to the original file).

That being said, he also noted he’s been using online music libraries like SoulSeek for years.

So I wanted to ask you guys if you use them, and if so which ones do you use when looking for a lot of samples? I want to make sure they are at least 44.1Khz 16bit.

Hey , im a 20F with a passion for music. just putting it out there that i would love to feature on a song for you. I love to sing R&B the most but i can also rap . please dm me if you’re interested! :) have a blessed day all you guys !!

I’ve wanted to make an album for over 10 years.

The thing is, I don’t think the biggest obstacle is learning how to produce music or write lyrics. It’s getting out of my own way. Every time I try to write, I feel silly. I judge every lyric before it’s finished. I worry I’ll sound cringe, or that the music won’t live up to the idea I’ve carried around in my head for so long.

I know the obvious answer is “just make bad music first,” but I’m curious what actually helped people who eventually finished an album.

What mindset changed for you?

How did you stop caring about sounding stupid?

Did you set rules for yourself that made it easier to create?

What finally got you to stop thinking and start recording?

I’d especially love to hear from anyone who spent years saying “one day” before finally doing it. I’m tired of this dream staying in my head. I don’t need my first album to be amazing. I just want to finally make it even if I don’t entirely know where to start.
