How to Find Free Hip Hop Instrumentals

If you are a brand new artist or or an artist that is just short on funds right now, you probably are not very interested to buy instrumentals. Instead you are probably scratching your head wondering where you can get some free beats. We can all go out and get ourselves some jacked industry beats from the last jay z or eminem album, but who really wants to do that? If you are on the search for free beats then there are a few options I will show you so you can start looking immediately.

The first spot to check is youtube. Just search for free rap beats or free hip hop beats and you will have thousands of results with beats and download links to look into. The second and most obvious place to go is to do a search in google looking for free beats and once again you will hae thousands of sites to search through, You may find that you have more difficulty here though in trying to actually find the free beats to download. The third spot that you should look into are hip hop forums across the net. If you do a search in google for the following, “rap forum” + “free beats” , then you should come up with another group of sites to check out for free beats. The other good part of searching in the forums is that you can engage in direct contact with the producer as well as post your fnished track.

Now I don’t want to discourage you but here are a few downsides to using free rap beats. First and foremost the biggest problem is that there most likely are thousands of other artists that have downloaded and used the same exact beat. Secondly you need to see if there is a disclaimer or agreement you are supposed to follow. Based on the producers agreement, the beat may be free for you to use but you may not be able to sell the beat without the producers consent or without then purchasing a lease agreement to get the selling rights. The third thing to be on the lookout for is if the free beats are sampled beats. Now we all love sampled hip hop beats but you must remember that if there are samples in the beats you are using then you need to get sample clearance or the producer needs to get sample clearance in order for you to legally use the beat and sell it.
