Using Free Rap Beats In Your Project

By Delroy Wilkins


Downloadable beats and instrumentals are not designed for just anyone. Some people actually believe that using other peoples work to create their own is not legal and the work created afterwards is not actually original work. For such artists, creating original work involves coming up with the lyrics as well as the beats and instrumentals to accompany the lyrics to create original hip hop tracks.

Another group of artists know that although they are not able to create beats, they can download them online or buy them from other producers. Such beats are then edited and mixed to create a unique sound which is then used alongside the lyrics to create original music.

You can opt to do all the work, create the lyrics, and produce accompanying beats and instrumentals. This route can be more challenging than most hip hop artists think. Besides writing lyrics, you will have to get the necessary equipment, create the beats with the help of a beats producer, record them and hopefully get the perfect beats and instrumentals to match your lyrics. This process takes days and even weeks and depending on the equipment and producer. It costs significantly more compared to buying beats and instrumentals available online.

When you buy beats off the internet from a legitimate company, you have very little to worry about. There is no lengthy licensing process or recording process. You simply download them to your computer and they are ready to use. The wide varieties of beats and rap instrumentals that can be found allow you to have a wide selection of tracks that you can use.

One reason majority of artists give for being against downloadable beats and instrumentals is that these are their original works. However, if you look at music over the years, original tracks have come about as a result of input from different professionals including vocals trainers and beat producers. This is true for all music genres including hip hop. If you want to have a great beat for your lyrics, the key is turning the beats you have downloaded into your own.

This involves some editing and blending on your part. It might take a couple of hours or even days to come up with a new beat but it's usually worth the effort. On your part, you will have to add some creativity to have that unique beat. Don't be afraid to experiment and push the limits with your beats. The rewards and the satisfaction you get can be tremendous.
